Blue Monday

Good morning everyone~

I hope you all enjoyed your weekend. Thank you Sally for hosting Blue Monday and thank you to all who visit me today.

Those of you who are regular visitors will notice a change in my blog background. One day last week, I tried to add some frames to my blog and I really messed things up. That's what I get for trying to do something without knowing what I was doing! Anyway, I finally changed my whole blog background because I couldn't get it back to the way it was before.

On to my blues....

This past summer when Hubby and I were on holidays, we toured the eastern part of our fair Isle. We visited one of our gorgeous beaches and saw many other sights including the Wind Farm. Today I will share some photos from the farm with you.

This is one of the signs you will find along the highway down East. All of the signs on our Island highways are in blue and orange. This one down east has a picture of a starfish on it. Here we are nearing the windmill farm. It is an awesome sight if you have never seen real windmills before!Getting closer...Getting very close....This is how enormous these things are! Compare the windmill to the little farm nestled in front! Pretty big, eh? There are ten of them with 90 metre {over 270 feet} blade spans. Prince Edward Island is the first province in Canada to have a V-90 wind farm. There is another wind farm at the other end of the Island which we haven't seen yet.

The sky was a vibrant blue that day but I'm sorry it doesn't show up in the pictures.

Now that we're back home, please come inside and I'll serve you some tea from my blue covered teapot. I have a few other pieces that match the teapot, including salt and pepper shakers. They all have a blue ribbon around them with blue flowers sprinkled into the bouquet.I hope you enjoyed your visit. Thank you for coming, now please take some time and go visit Sally at http://smilingsally.blogspot.com/ and the other blue participants. You can click on the Blue Monday button on my sidebar too; it will take you right to Sally's site. Have a wonderful day everybody.

A Happy Pink Saturday and A Blogiversary

Hello my sweet Friends~
"Happy Pink Saturday" I have a very big day coming up tomorrow; my one year Blogiversary! I can hardly believe it! Considering I have never taken a computer course and just got up the nerve to even go near the computer in 2002, I still sometimes cannot believe I'm actually doing this!

What a wonderful past time and opportunity it has been to 'meet' you all. You have all brought me so much joy with your friendship and sweet comments.

When I decided to take the plunge and start my own blog I was so nervous and I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. I just took a leap of faith and asked God to help me through it. And here I am today, one year later!

I was hoping for a vehicle in which I could express myself and I have found that blogging helps me to do that. And I'm pleased that so many of you have shared that you actually enjoy my blog! Who would have thought? And not only have I started this blog, but I have two others as well! Surprised? Well, so am I!

"Spirit Song" is a blog that I started a few months ago to share my testimony and hopefully encourage others who are going through a difficult situation with their health or family.

Another blog which I started just recently is one that I've been wanting to have ever since I began blogging a year ago. It is a Christmas blog called, "Christmas Pudding."

You can visit it by clicking on this link~ http://christmaspudding09.blogspot.com/

Anyone who knows me would not be at all surprised about the Christmas blog because everyone has always teased me about having the music playing in November and the Christmas tree up! But more and more, I see people putting their trees up just as early as me now. Sometimes my next door neighbor even beats me to it!
Anyway, to get back to my Blogiversary......
I am celebrating for two very good reasons; one year of blogging and 100 plus Followers! Again, who would have thought?

In appreciation for all your wonderful support and friendship over the past year, I am having another Giveaway to celebrate! In keeping with my love of Christmas, since the season is not far off, and because it is Pink Saturday, I am giving away this darling little pink ornament.

This little snowman angel has a sparkly scarf wrapped around his neck and he holds a scarf which reads "Love" across his belly. The pink ball is covered with little snowflakes; really adorable! Perfect for your Christmas tree or a wreath!

If you would like to enter my Giveaway then please leave me a comment on this post stating you would like to. If you are a Follower on this blog or my Christmas Pudding blog, you will get another chance to win. I have posted about the Giveaway on Christmas Pudding as well as this one.

If you post about the Giveaway with a link back to me, you will get yet another chance to win. I will be doing the draw on the 23rd of October and will announce the name of the winner on my Pink Saturday post on the 24th.
Thank you for making my blogging experience so much fun. I love you all and God bless you!

Before I go, I would like to introduce to you a new friend I 'met' last week on Pink Saturday. Gwen of "A Charming Home" http://acharminghome.blogspot.com/ is as charming as her blog implies and I hope you will take a few moments to go visit her. She creates the most wonderful jewelery and I know she would love to 'meet' you!

Then please go visit Beverly and all the other pinkies today by clicking on the link http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog/ or the Pink Saturday button on my sidebar. I hope you all have a fantastic pink weekend!
