Ready, Set, GO!

I love a good bargain and consider myself lucky to find these 2 matching Princess cars with new batteries on an online auction for less than the price of one replacement battery. Brooklyn spent a couple days at Grandpa & Grandma's house this week and really enjoyed driving them around, especially when her cousin, Bailey, came to visit.

I also want to thank everyone who responded to my online survey as well the phone calls & "in person" requests to keep the blog going. The results tallied as follows:
Should I continue blogging?
Yes, continue to come and share the garden of life and life in the garden: 43
Yes, but only share photography and not my family: 3

If I continue to blog would you like to see the blog expand into different directions?
Yes, please share all of your interests and pursuits (garden, crafts, recipes, decorating, traveling, photography, digital scrapbooking and of course family): 40
Yes, please combine your old food blog and continue to share recipes and table settings: 3
No, stay as is: 2

If I continue to blog how often would you like to see me blog?
I'll take what I can get - if you post it I will come: 38
Once a week: 3
Three times a week or more: 3

With those encouraging results from all of you,  I hope to get back to blogging on a regular basis and have been brainstorming some ideas on what I want to share.  I've been so busy this summer that other than taking photos of my family, I haven't hardly picked up a camera.  Crazy right?  Especially for a gal that took 100s of photos a week just of birds :)  To get me back into the photography/blogging mode I am going to participate in the October 365 Photo Challenge List.  I've already printed out the list of 31 prompts and look forward to seeing how I manage to interpret some of them especially number 18. Patient.

For today, I leave you with some more photos of the little princesses playing with their new cars at Grandma's house.
