Today I'm celebrating four things:
1) Meeting lots of new bloggers through this bloghop!
2) Posting a poem that had a freeing affect on my heart.
(Titled: "Smiling" - post date 11-12-14)
3) The Blue birds returning for the Fall and Winter seasons.
4) A sweet deal on a roasting pan - $4.99 - from the Goodwill store!
(Online $189.00)

Blue birds are so pretty. I haven't seen one in a long time.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
I have six adults that are hanging out at my gazebo. They don't seem to mind the chipmunks or the squirrels. They've only been here about five years. Before that I only saw them in Pennsylvania when I'd visit relatives.
DeleteI so like Blue birds. You scored quite a deal on the roaster---looks good. Have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Marilyn, hope you're weekend is good also!! Thank you for visiting me.
DeleteOMG I didn't know the bluebirds were really that blue :) I only see sparrows here and turtle doves and sometimes an owl who wants to eat my cat....
ReplyDeletePoor cat! This bird isn't the best of the pick. My camera telephoto is stuck. It eats batteries like crazy. I think it's a female because others are prettier. Sitting in the trees with golden orange leaves was the photo I wanted but...
DeleteI do love sparrows and doves!! Have a great weekend Dezz.
I have that same roasting pan, received it as a Christmas gift. Have a nice weekend.
ReplyDeleteI bought a 14 pound turkey before I found the pan. The bird would fit twice in it. I can't believe how big it is. Congratulations on owning one! Have a great weekend too!
DeleteBeautiful picture of the bird! Have a great weekend :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Laura. You enjoy that time off!!!
DeleteThanks for visiting and joining my journey.
The birds seem lovely, =)
ReplyDeleteThank you!! I guess you'll those puppies out in the snow this weekend! Thank you for visiting. :))
DeleteWow that was a great bargain! Love the pretty bluebird too. Pleased to meet you through this hop today.
ReplyDeleteHi Suzanne. Yes it was, and I did the happy turkey dance.
DeleteLoved your photos!!! Pleased to meet you as well.
Thank you so much for visiting and joining my journey!
That is a nice deal on a roasting pan! I've found lots of great bargains at Goodwill over the years. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteYes indeed - I'm doing the happy turkey dance now. Goodwill rocks!
DeleteHave a great weekend. Thank you so much for visiting me and joining my journey! :))
What is a Goodwill store? Is that like a charity shop?
ReplyDeleteBy the way I didn't know what a Bloghop was until this post either!
CLICK HERE for Bazza’s fabulous Blog ‘To Discover Ice’
Goodwill Industries of America - not sure it they're international. Anyone can donate items of clothing, household goods, yard equipment, and lots more. Items are usually used or not used but given away. All tax deductible. Goodwill charges very low prices and uses the proceeds to employ people.
DeleteThere are about four stores within a 15 mile radius of me. Tuesdays are great because it's senior day with a 25% discount!!
A friend of mine passed away in 2004. I was sad because I would have loved to have owned one of her paintings. Her family donated all of them to Goodwill. Sure enough, about three months later and there sat the painting!! It's hanging in my home and I love it.
Okay so now that you know about the bloghop - you might consider giving it whirl! If not, I'm sure you could visit every Friday - there are some wonderful writers, all levels and genres....
Thanks Bazza :))
Yay for this hop! I love it and the participants, too. What a lovely pic of a bluebird. I always think of cardinals when I think of fall and winter... The only thing better than cheap stuff is free stuff. Have a great weekend! :)
ReplyDeleteHere, here! Bravo! YOU have a great weekend too! :D
DeleteYou have some wonderful celebrations!
ReplyDeleteThat roasting pan was an amazing deal!!!
Hi Sarah - my "squishing" friend!(smile). That pan will outlast me!
DeleteSo happy to meet you - thank you for visiting me. Have a great weekend.
I enjoy this blog hop, too. The positivity is wonderful. That's a beautiful bluebird. I don't get to see them very often. Love your poem. Hope you're enjoying your weekend!
ReplyDeleteThank you so very much, Lori. I seemed to have caught cold, though I don't remember looking for one! This blog hop is a lot of fun for me. Glad you enjoyed my poem!
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting me today!
I like your Goodwill store :)
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you! This hop has always been well-supported and maintained. I'm glad you found it!
Hi Kelley. Your web page fascinates me. I love mousing on and off of your photos to make them change from black and white to color! I'm not a tech person - more Gidget than gadget.
DeleteVery good meeting you, and thank you for visiting me today. (smile)
