Skywatch Friday
Skywatch Friday is always worth checking out. Last week there were 328 sky photos from all over the world. Go check out this week’s photos and join in by posting one of your own!
Sometimes, it is what’s in front of the sky that makes the best photo – like my grandson Mark checking out the daylilies this morning.

We have a winner!
It was difficult to control our excitement during breakfast time, but finally it was time for the winning name for our lotion dispenser cow to be chosen.
Unfortunately, we had a small problem cooperation-wise with the judge. He did not wish to consider any of the submitted names and said that the cow should be named “Brett”. Brett is Mark’s favorite bear. So not only is that name taken, but we would have ended up with no winner or the I guess the judge would have been the winner which doesn’t seem right. I am sure this would have resulted in a fraud lawsuit of some kind and that’s the last thing I need. An alternate method was decided upon – that of a blind drawing.
To make things fair, if there was more than one suggestion per comment, the first one listed was chosen. This gave us 15 entries.
And the winner is…
Hallie from the Wonderful World of Wieners entered “Cowabell”. [note: Hallie’s blog is great fun, but not entirely G-rated, language wise]
Congrats Hallie – I will email you to double check your address and you will have your GC from Amazon as soon as I hear back from you.
And I would say it has been determined that our cow is indeed a cow, rather than a steer or bull. Any name ending in “bell” would have to be a name for the female gender, would you not agree? Thanks to everyone who participated!
Wet wet wet Wednesday
First things first – the “Name That Cow” contest winner will announced later in the morning. The judge is having his breakfast.
There will be more photos later probably, but we will get started with these two. I love daisies and I have them everywhere
Daylily buds are so pretty – they hold a promise of what is inside.
