Apologies for being so late replying to you...Hi Di,<br />Apologies for being so late replying to your lovely comment. I'm now officially in loopy land...things are seriously crazy here.<br />Anyway, I will be posting about the giveaway soon...maybe even later today ;D<br />I had difficulty editing my potted past to make the post a reasonable length...and not a War and Peace entry. Plus choosing from over 3,000 photos proved a challenge too. <br />Kay is lovely and we've been in touch with each other for some time now. She even won one of my giveaways. Muffy picked her name on her sticky paw sock. <br />I remember reading all about your fantastic New Mexico trip. It's amazing how our blogs strike up great friendships. <br />I took your advice over the glass of wine and I'm happy to report it's working a treat. I've delegated the washing of dishes and most of the household chores ;D<br />I'm thinking this wrist and ribs could take longer than six months to heal if I play my cards right. hehe<br />Hugs backatch Di...I'll visit as soon as I can.<br />xoxoNeesiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08629847485174945501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254134409987044782.post-32124522422072525422014-02-17T12:56:18.283+00:002014-02-17T12:56:18.283+00:00Well Boo I'm brushing Miss McMuffy ready for t...Well Boo I'm brushing Miss McMuffy ready for the grand sticky paw prize draw so who knows if you're lucky Hamish maybe heading your way soon.<br />I'm managing to type with two hands now thanks, which makes a huge difference and is so much quicker.<br />Hopefully see you soon xoxoNeesiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08629847485174945501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254134409987044782.post-20829944691018800992014-02-17T12:48:17.259+00:002014-02-17T12:48:17.259+00:00Hello Dasha,

And isn't this cool, Kay, a few comments above this one is one of the loveliest ladies you could wish to meet.

It's so difficul...Hello Kay...great to see you,<br />It's so difficult to decide what to include into the GYB party post. <br />I've got lots of stories and tales but it would turn into a book never mind a post if I included too many. <br /><br />Nope we haven't finished the windows only three replaced at the moment so 33 to go! <br />But I noticed that the other border has been trampled too. Oh well, I'll just have to sort it once the boots have departed. <br />I've got lots to do in the garden and planting once the weather improves a little.<br />A bird book is a great idea Kay....I've got one for the UK and one when we were in Australia. <br /><br />Hey...how's Muffin doing? Isn't that amazing news. I hope that your Muffin gives you as much love, affection and pleasure as our little bundle of joy has ^..^<br />Poor thing having allergies though...it's normally the other way around. She's a very lucky pooch because I can tell you're already smitten with her and she'll be receiving the best of everything! <br />Just watch yourself though because mine can play me like a fiddle! <br /><br />I would love to join in this week with WOYWW but I've nothing in the pipeline yet and it's already on it's way to Tuesday so it's looking unlikely. <br />Thanks for popping over.<br />Have fun this weekend and good luck for WOYWW. <br />Hugs to you too ;D<br />xoxo Neesiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08629847485174945501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254134409987044782.post-31657029265177334052014-02-03T18:28:44.924+00:002014-02-03T18:28:44.924+00:00Hi Neesie,
Your story is interesting. I love you...Hi Neesie,<br /><br />Your story is interesting. I love your photographs and sharing the places you've been and the process of settling back in your home. I love the cow - he seems to be a friendly chap. By now I'm hoping they are done putting in your windows and no more plants were harmed. We can't plant here until after Mother's Day. I'm hoping to start some holleyhocks inside and transplant them this year. <br /><br />I love watching birds too. I took some photos of a woodpecker visiting one of my feeders this weekend. I don't know the names of the birds so perhaps I need to get a bird book.<br /><br />Did you know that I adopted a dog named Muffin? She's a poodle and came with some medical issues. Turns out she has severe allergies so I've started the shots process last week. I can tell she's already feeling better. Like your Muffin, she's a doll and cuddly. Must be something to do with the name!<br /><br />Thanks for visiting me. I'm planning to join WOYWW this week!<br /><br />Hugs,<br />Kay505whimsygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16594635228441769910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254134409987044782.post-38979888171007853662014-02-03T10:09:23.441+00:002014-02-03T10:09:23.441+00:00Hello Sandra,
