What's Your Limit?

Hi Friends!  I wondered if any of you stop following blogs who don't post regularly?  Today I discovered several blogs that haven't updated (posted) in 6 or 7 months.


I started wondering what my fellow bloggers think about this topic, so I created a 3 day poll over in my side bar.

Thanks in advance to anyone who participates!

Comments welcome too.


Wishing one and all a lovely week:)

The Next Town Over...

Hi Dear Friends,

My good thoughts are with my fellow East Coasters as Irene hurdles her way towards the innocent.  A pox on her, may she lose speed and steam and find herself lost at sea forever!  May each of us, our families, friends, neighbors and emergency workers escape her wicked wrath unscathed.

Today was *trim the ponytail day* in the next town over, uhhhh ~ sorry ~ that would be my ponytail lol:)  I wanted to share with you this *don't blink you'll miss it* town... before her blooms wither, her leaves turn crisp and her streets become laden with slippery slush.  The town mothers and fathers do a smashing job of dressing their hometown every summer.  I hope you enjoy these small town summer snippets as much as I enjoyed taking them for you!

May I please introduce you to Bloomfield, NY in the Finger Lakes Region ~ they know how to welcome visitors warmly, spread good cheer and make you want to slow your pace.  It's the kind of place where you can stop at the coffee counter, get to gabbing with a friendly stranger, leave your good sunglasses next to your cup as you go out the door, whoopsie  ~ only to backtrack your steps the next day and learn that a kind local put them behind the counter, go figure.

Even the gas station invites you to pause, just for a moment

The Lucky Three...

Hi All, thanks for your kind comments on my last post ~ if you made it to the end, you discovered some Follower Fun, celebrating my 200 followers!  

I separated your tissue case color choices into 3 piles, put entries into a Yahtzee cup, gave it a good shake, tumbled out the entries, covered my eyes, finger fumbled around, picked a winner and unfolded the winning entry.  I've done the random thingy and KitchenAid mixer to jumble up entries before, the Yahtzee cup was fun too. 

Looks like this one I rolled a winner and 3 twos!

The three lucky winners are...

Red Hot Flowers ~ Gabi, Lady Of The Floss

Burnt Garden Dots ~ Catherine, Bramblewood Stitches

Will each of you kindly email me your snail mail address before Noon, Fri., Aug. 5th, NY time.  If I don't hear back by then, I'll draw a runner up winner(s).  My email is over in my sidebar.

My sweet thanks to all who follow, comment, encourage, offer tips and share the love:)

Tootles, Sue
