Happy Birthday, Pink Saturday!

Congrats for 3 years!
Pink Saturday is AWESOME!

News from blogger...

Here are some things that worked for a couple of people



0) Make sure you are running the latest version of your browser, if not, upgraded it.


1) Make sure you REALLY have cleared both your COOKIES and CACHE


2) Once Cleared shut down the browser


3) Then Open it again and CHeck that the Cookies and Cache are indeed Empty. This is very important. The problem seems to be with corrupt cookies and cache files


4) If that is OK try going to www.blogger.com . Don't login yet, press CTRL-F5 and then try logging in again


5) If that still does not work try logging into Gmail first and then go to www.blogger.com and try again


6) If that does not work try going to this address http://www2.blogger.com/home


7) If that does not work try going to draft.blogger.com


8) If all those fail, try installing another browser to see if that works eg Firefox, Chrome, Opera etc
Well, girls, I don't know about you...
but this is beyond me...
too complicated for the average blogger...
so, this is what I have found that has worked for me...
any blog that has a pop-up window for comments lets me comment...
I use a pop-up window on mine and have been getting comments...
so...
here is how to change it in your settings...
go to your dashboard...
click settings...
now click comments...
now, find this...
and click pop-up window...
scroll to the bottom of the page and click SAVE SETTING...
easy peasy...
this should work...
let me know if it doesn't...
if you cannot leave a comment here...
send me a little note to my email and let me know...

rainy day fun...

what do you do on a rainy day?
clean house?
check...
laundry?
check...
blog?
working on it...
nap...
check...
clean out the fridge before grocery shopping?
check...
pay bills?
check...
go for a ride in the country?
BIG CHECK!
and we ended up at the green house 3 miles south of us that Craig worked at for 2 years while in college...
in between corn and bean fields...
right about where one of the rotations was reported last night...
it did not touch down!
yeah!
so we looked and planned...
took zero money, no check book...
so we bought nothing!
they have a nice selection...
but they are a dollar higher on their 4 packs...
so here is inside one of two of the green houses...
they even have humming birds flying around in here...
and at 63 degrees, they had them closed up...
Craig loved working here...
and I loved it, too...
I used to take him to work and pick him up...
when he had something to finish...
I just walked around...
I am going back after some of these mini pink petunias, some snap dragons and purple savlia...
these also caught my eye...
different...
these are new this year...
black striped petunias...
only 3 dahlias were open...
I like to pick by color...
pretty...
I may have to snag that basket...
maybe if I'm really good...
and my sales are good at the mall...
these are by bff's favorite...
this is all she buys...
and girl, there are still 5 left...
I thought- how fun!
cute watering cans...
then I saw that they are planters! 
now, that's cute...
tomatoes...
snap dragons in a pot along the walk way...
and of course there is water in the fields...
we got 2.8 inches so far...
yesterday and today...
and we so needed it...
it's nice not having to water...
and what kind of a drive would it be without cows?
black angus cows?
still got a slow rain going on...
going to make bbq turkey for supper tonight...
you all have a great evening and I will try to visit a few more...
some I can leave comments on and some I can't...
I hope they get this all straightened out soon...
I can leave comments on the ones who have a pop out window...
but if you don't...
blogger has no clue who I am!

tornadoes all around us but we are safe..

just a quick post to let everyone know we are ok...
there was rotation a mile or so south of us on the Ashmore Rd...
one east of Hindsboro, Newman, Ogden/St Joe...

it's still raining hard...
another smaller batch going through between 9:30 &10...
but they don't look bad at all...

you all stay safe east of us...
saying prayers for you all...

I still am not able to leave comments...

I think blogger thinks I talk too much...
or we all do and blew a fuse or something...
so here are some shots this morning...
the day has been laced with thunderstorms and sunshine...
we are under a tornado watch until 9pm...
and it's beginning to thunder close...
so just sit back and enjoy...
I'm going to hurry this up and get this posted so I can get off of here...
.8" of rain so far today...
everything really needed it...
I may be back on later tonight...
or in the morning...
be safe and have a good night...
