A Late Night WOYWW

Boy oh Boy, since the nice weather has been around, I've kinda disappeared from the blogging world.  So much to catch up on out doors. Today we left at 6AM to travel 2hrs south to a farm sale of items from my friend who died of cancer a few weeks back.  He has a collection of Farmal Tractors    I think about 65 of them dating back to 1930 maybe..about 25 of them and lots of old parts, plows, and farm "Junk"!!!! were sold. 
Wonderful day to be outside and enjoy the company of his family and friends.  By next week I will have a picture of the little items I won on the bidding block!!  Back home at 4PM .

Then we had to visit the funeral home for my husbands' 2nd cousins death and visited with many of their family members.  Then to meet my family for pizza and beer to celebrate my mother's 83rd birthday.... it was good to come home and watch the last of the CMA Country Music's 20 Best Men Over the Past 20 Years.   THE #1 WINNER   ( made my day complete)  ALAN JACKSON.  What a performer.  My #1 FAVORITE for a LONG, LONG TIME.

Now on to WOYWW.....Julia at the Stamping Ground  has provided a place to leave your name and let others visit your Workdesk each Wednesday.   Great people and Great fun.   Nothing on my desk for awhile, but these are some little goodies I brought in from the flower garden

The little one in the middle is my PIF from Andria  a few months back, I told her I had a collection of little glass bottles and here they are with a few Zinneas.


A cluster of yellow Viola's  or (Johnny Jump Ups)




And this lonely little shaded Lavender one.

Well it is off to LaLaLand, can hardly keep my eyes open. Hope to visit lots of you tomorrow.  I need a day of rest.  Thanks for stopping by, enjoy your WOYWW visits.  Thanks Julia

No wonder you're tired - not just busy but an emotional day too. Don't the zinnias look pretty clustered in their own glass jars, what a lovely idea. I have never ever heard violas called Jump Up Jacks...any idea why?!

Glenda said...

Bless you...I know you are exhausted! Take a day and rest yourself! Your flowers are so pretty showcased in the bottles!

Give yourself some tlc this week - sounds like you need it. I love zinnias, grow them from seed - they're always so bright and cheerful and last a long time too. Like Julia though, I'm intrigued as to why the violas are called Johnny Jump ups - there's got to be a good tale behind that. Look forward to seeing what you got in the auction as I'm quite fond of a bit of junk myself!! xx

Sounds like you need some down time to recharge. Don't forget to look after yourself.
Happy belated WOYWW

I have taken a break from WOYWW for a couple of weeks, so I really appreciate your visit. I am proud to have my bottle in such good company! The zinnias are so pretty. I'm sorry for the recent losses among your friends and family, but what a blessing to celebrate your mother's birthday!

Really busy day. Sad sale to go to. I always hated it when I attended an estate sale or auction after a friend passes. Great looking pics of your flowers. Alan Jackson is a winner! Toby Keith lives about 3 miles from me here in Oklahoma and unfortunately brings a lot of traffic on our road! Hope you have a great day. Thanks for sharing. Vickie

Hello, Sylvia!! Love all your flowers, your lovely Ribbon Reel card, and that $1 shelf for your buttons. Those little jars are perfect all lined up there! Why can't I find bargains like that!?! Not fair! But have a great week anyway!!
