A Winner, Tagged and Pay it Forward....

I would of posted sooner, but we have had several thundershowers, since 12:30pm-7pm.  We have flooding in our area, 4 lane roads in Elizabeth City, became 1 today.   I have never seen that much water on the roads in the city, since I have lived here. 

I want to start with the winner, of my Give-a-way!  I had my daughter select the winner from a vintage hat....


Congrats go to Lisa of Bombastic Bandicoot!   Lisa email me your address so I can get your gifts off to you~

Shannon of Faith, Hope and Love Tagged me, so I will give this a try:

IF I WERE A…MONTH; DAY; TIME OF DAY; SEASON; PLANET; DIRECTION; TREE; ANIMAL; MUSICAL; INSTRUMENT; FRIUT
FOOD; COLOUR; BOOK; SONG ; MOVIE; FLOWER; FACIAL EXPRESSION. WHAT WOULD I BE?

If I were a MONTH:  I would be October:  I love Fall, the changes in the air, the weather, the leaves turning
color, and the seasons involved.  I love the crisp cooler air, wood smoke and evening walks.  I love the
food, apples in season, fall veggies, pumpkins and squash, cranberries, etc.   I love homemade soups and stews, they taste better, when the air has changed.

If I were a  DAY:   I would be Friday, I love Friday evening, the beginning of the weekend.  Time for family and fun!

If I were a TIME OF DAY:   I guess, it would be 1pm, two meals done and time for me to create.  Morning errands and chores done.

If I were a SEASON:  Tough, I love Spring and the rebirth of flowers, plants and trees, but I would pick Fall.
When I was growing up, always hiking, apple pickings, Halloween parties and town parade.  Love this season, cold weather fashions, caramel apples, snuggling, watching movies, etc.

If I were a PLANET:  I would be EARTH, I love it here, but we need some work...

If I were a DIRECTION:  North(east)  I want to go back to New England for some lobster and beach combing!

If I were a TREE:   MAPLE, they wear a beautiful fall gown~

If I were an ANIMAL:   I'd like to be a Koala bear,but the claw, oh my...okay, I'll chose a beagle!
Velvet ears, big huge eyes, cuddly with a big heart, likes long walks and treats~ yeah, that's me, alright, LOL

If I were a MUSICAL:  "Phantom of the Opera"...it is a haunting, love story of passion, deceit, and despair.

If I were an INSTRUMENT:  guitar, I love plucking the strings.

If I were a FRUIT:  Tough, I love berries, but I would be an apple, sometimes sweet, sometimes sour.

If I were a FOOD:  Pizza-ooey, gooey cheese, with a chewy crust, with an spicy, tomatosauce with plenty of herbs.  I like loaded and cheese.  I haven't met a pizza, I didn't like.

If I were a COLOR:  Green, but I also love turquoise, isn't that kind of in the green family?!

If I were a BOOK:   Can't pick, I love so many, if i had to pick, probably "Simple Abundance" by Sarah
Ban Breathnach.

If I were a SONG:    I can go the distance,  I keep trying, have been derailed by illness a few times, but I will persist!  

If I were a MOVIE:   whoah, this is tough, I grew up with movies...can't pick

If I were a FLOWER:  I'd be  lilacs...they remind me of spring time in Maine

If I were a FACIAL EXPRESSION:  I'd be a smile ;-D

I'd like to pass this on to:  Jenny, Wanda and Chrissy~

Hi Ellie
Congratulations to the winner!!!

Love your answers there... it's funny as a kid I loved Autumn and Winter [we don't say fall here] perhaps as that was when the family would all be snuggled up inside a warm home!! as an adult i think i prefer spring and summer.. but your words here have me thinking i should enjoy this season more... cold and wet here now!!

Have a lovely week xx Julie
I was pizza as well.

It was raining a lot across the Carolinas yesterday, wasn't it?
