It's been a while...

Since I picked a bouquet of dandelions.

From my window

For lack of anything better to post today, lets take a look out one of my upstairs windows. A birds eye view of what my back yard looks like.

Look to the left

Now look to the right

Just please don't look at the disgusting pool water. We haven't covered the pool in the winter for years. It's just as easy and probably cheaper to drain it, scrub it and refill it. The water it takes to fill it costs us less than the chemicals and DE needed to clean it. 

Enough about the water, My yard ends just behind that shed in the right hand corner.

Giveaway Winner

Thank you all for participating in my giveaway. It's finally time to announce who the winner is. I'm sure that you are just dieing to know.
I couldn't decide how I wanted to go about choosing the winner. I thought about writing everyone's name on a piece of paper and dumping them out on the floor. Then whichever one Duke stuck his nose on first would be the winner. Then I thought of putting all the names in a hat and getting Wade to pick one. Of  course the use of random org was also an option. In the end I went with random org.
Drum roll please..........

And the winner is.....
Tim from Every day living  Congratulations Tim
Now that still leaves me with the file folder. So I regenerated the random number picker and got
Sharla from Beaded Tail that means BOTH of you get the picture BUT , I still have the file folder.
Lets try one more time OK
This time I got
Tanya from Allotments 4 you and she had chosen the file folder.
One giveaway with Two prizes and Three winners. Do the math it works.
 
I'm sorry I don't have the picture of the number generator. I'm a bit of a knit wit and forgot to get it. I was too excited about finding out who won.

OK so Tim, Sharla and Tanya, send me your info so that I can get your prizes to you. You can email me at iannieam@windstream.net

Breaking for lunch

Last Friday it was an absolutely gorgeous day. Temperatures were in the 80's, the sun was warm with a mild breeze that cooled you off just enough but not too much. When my lunch time rolled around I wasted not time in heading out the back door to spend my half hour outside.

I enjoyed the sunshine, a nice refreshing cold can of coke and played with my camera.

Don't you just love my ever so stylish hat that I have to wear? I really hate hats but my only other option while at work is a hair net. I hate hair nets worse than I hate hats.
