Outdoor Wednesday: Dreaming of Dolphins & One Hundred Posts...

It's Outdoor Wednesday at my sweet friend Susan's blog, A Southern Daydreamer, and I'm afraid all I can do today is dream of spotting those elusive dolphins in the bay...

Or at the beach...you have to be quick because they're apt to be swift...oops, we missed them again...



But while I'm dreaming of dolphins, I'm actually wrangling dust bunnies... that's where I will be today. If dust bunnies were tumbleweed, then parts of the Magpie Nest (particularly those parts where I live with my computer and are off limits to other living creatures including Mr. Magpie) are surely a veritable prairie of it. I dare not take pictures lest you run screaming into the hills. ;-)

Back to the program... I just did this...



Well, not exactly on a blue motorcycle, but the Road Warrior traveled again from here...



Through here (where I didn't see a single Florida black bear or deer)...



To here...



Where I will be involved in some of this...



It's Mary Anne's wedding, and as her Auntie Mame, our house is the venue for the rehearsal dinner for which I'm doing this on our mantle (they're silk, but passable with some help from the real thing)...



And this on our door (again in the before stage without the live buffer)...



And next Saturday, I will be doing this...



Only, it won't be a Psalm, but rather a New Testament reading. After the raging insomnia I've had the last two weeks, I hope and pray I don't do this...



But in the mean time, I will also be doing some of this...



To find something to go in a pretty package similar to this...



To give to some lovely blogger who signs up for the 100th blog post drawing on my blog. Stay tuned for further details, but I just hit the 100 mark with this post! And you'll have more than one chance to win something fun as a very special thank-you for so kindly posting with me...



Of course, the special name will be drawn by my lovely assistant...



[That's her dollhouse so don't get any ideas about that being a shiny object!]


[And that's my plate, and the same goes for it, too!]

So before I become this...



And hide in this...



I'm going to do this...



And dream of doing this...



In the mean time, in between time, I will visit you at your blogs, but after that if my posts on my own blog are MIA over the next few days, please know I have not been kidnapped, nor am I being held hostage by this...



I'm just enjoying watching the union of this...


And catching up on 40 winks! ;-)

Thanks so much for visiting me today, and I look forward to visiting you, too! You always make my day! And while I may be slow on the uptake for the interim, please know I enjoy visiting you very much! :-) If you'd like to sign up now for my blog drawing, you may, or you may wait to see what the gifties are! If you sign up now, you get an extra chance! ;-) And if you read and haven't posted yet, now would be a good time to post!

Please join me in visiting Susan and her friends who have lovely outdoor scenes to share with you. It's always good to go out in the world and explore. You can get there by clicking here on A Southern Daydreamer.




Warmly,
