Look What I Won!

 I received in the mail this last weekend a beautiful doll "Bloom" from Nancy at  Primdolls by Nancy.  She is so cute.

I've tried daily to make a comment on her blog to publicly thank her for picking my name out of the hat, but darn blogspot isn't working right for some to leave comments.  I've tried reporting it to them, and found out that this is quite the problem, and they've noted that it should be fixed soon.  But it's been going on quite awhile, so what's the problem!
Anyway, Nancy,  I'm so happy to have her, as about a year ago I'd purchased a doll, and gave her to my daughter.  Thank you again so much.  For those of you that aren't aware of her great dolls, please check her blog out.

Today a much cooler day here in Minnesota.  How can it drop 60 degrees in one day!!!    Anyway, I'm feeling better,  because I like cool weather a lot better than sweltering hot!

Another great weekend coming up!  Take care everyone  ~ 

Won a giveaway and a good day - The Sun is Out!

I won a give away from Ginny Diesel at That Creative Place and received this in the mail this weekend!  Isn't it cute.  Canvas is painted and with a poly pumpkin.  How did she know that I like Halloween.  Even    

got some M & M's!  Thank you so much Ginny. 

I also finished my Halloween throw (or it can be a tablecloth) this past week.  I started it last year, but had not finished the binding or cutting and tieing all the threads.  At this time of the year, I miss having the girls around.  We used to decorate so much more - fall and Halloween yard stuff, etc.  So my new gift and quilt will be the extent of my Halloween decorating this year.  Until Oct 31, when I MAY put on my witch costume for the trick or treaters!

Took some pictures of Steve going out to the barn.  Odda always stands below the steps while he puts on his rubber boots over his boots.   Barks at him, telling him to hurry up!   Then she jumps all over - just like when someone comes to visit.  She is so happy to have company. 

Then you have to stop to pet and rub her back or she'll keep jumping.  Ya, I know I need to stop this habit.

Then she gets some lovin! 

Then she's ok to go! ! ! !

Today the sun is out.  Think if things dry up, I need to mow again or maybe go for another drive today!

I read my friends blog, and read that she is a bit cranky, so think we need to go for a ride by ourselves! 

Have a great Sunday! 

A surprise in the Mail!

I got my package from Buttercup Counts Her Blessings!  It is great.  Thank you so much.  Be sure to check out her blog, as she has another give away going on!   This is what I won.  The terry bath robe is so nice and soft and thick!  Then the accessories to bathe with, and also coupons for Greek Yogurt.   Think I should have used my flash on this picture.

Here are some of my flowers in my garden.   This one is what I call "old fashion" lilies.  These came from my mother's garden (she passed away in 1977).  I split them up every 3 -4 years.  They've lasted a long time.  There are some that have really turned into giant lilies, but they haven't bloomed yet.  So more pictures later of them.

A favorite - Daisy's.  They're just starting to open up.

These are just about done.  A slight breeze when I took this picture, so a little blurry.  But kind of like that.

Have a great weekend everyone.  Hope no bad weather for anyone this weekend.
