Corn And Ever So Much More…

I told you to expect surprise corn posts… Lookie here!

  This is just two days after the first silks showed up.  That plant now has 2 ears, then top right and bottom left each have one and the fourth plant on the bottom right hasn’t shown it’s silks yet but it is identifiable as an ear.  This is sooo cool.

And for you all that are tired of corn… how about blanket flowers…

Or hens and chicks…

And last but definitely not the least… in fact it’s the most… A new T-shirt that my Bro surprised me with a couple of days ago.

  As soon as I get cleaned up I’ll have Bro or Missy take my picture with it on… I love it and it is definitely ME!

I Never Thought I'd Live...

To see 100... posts, that is. I've been having such fun running up and down I-35 and so my 100th post snuck up on me.


After going over to pick up this Little Stinker over at Rick's Place I came back to my dashboard to post it and happened to notice that this would be the big 100. I figured if I had a give-away at 50, I ought to figure out something special to make for a give-away for #100.

I'm running back south down I-35 tomorrow and will be back on Sunday. I'll take some jewelry making supplies and see what I can whip up while GiGi are sitting around watching movies and visiting. My Baby Bro has to go out of town to a medical meeting and Ms. G. can't drive yet so I'm the designated driver, grocery getter and all around entertainer.

Since she has excellent taste, I will make sure that whatever I come up with will pass her inspection and maybe if we are lucky, I can get her to pose with whatever I come up with around her neck or on her ears or all of the above since anything would look better on her than on me.

So wish me inspired thinking and designing for a surprise for a give-away to celebrate my first 100... and how many more ways do you think I can figure out to tell you all that I've done 100 posts?

On Sunday evening, if not sooner, I'll be posting (#101) whatever I come up with to tempt all of you to leave a comment. I hope it will be good!

Wow...

Rick, over at Organized Doodles, totally blew me away yesterday with a doodle of *#*#*#(drumroll)#*#*#* MOI !!! He is a totally amazing and thoughtful man and so kind to share a lot of his doodles with all of us and I love 'strutting his stuff' because he expresses thoughts and feelings so succinctly in his doodles.

Yesterday was one of my bad days and I had been in bed until the afternoon. When I got up and started my blog reading to catch up, I clicked on his blog and Bam! There was a RED DIRT WOMAN doodle!!! I was totally and absolutely surprised. I never thought about him doing something like that and his timing couldn't have been better. I think the delight from seeing his doodle eased my pain measurably and that was wonderful.

I urge all of you that may read this to go over to Rick's corner of the blogging world and see, not only MY doodle, but all of his doodles and read his posts. It will be a delightful visit, I assure you.

Rick, you all are on my list for okra next year, and I promise it will be a bigger mess than this years was. Your sweet bride may want to hit you in the head with the skillet for being so kind to this old red dirt woman. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your kindness.
