June from the Fifth Lamp and other things.

Hello,
This here is my 100th post!
In honor of that occasion I have devised a give-away.
More on that later.
First things first, here is the Fifth Lamp photo for June-

I was hoping that the Fifth Lamp photo for my 100th post would be of a lovely sunny day with big puffy clouds, but with the husband out of town last week and a stroller with no brakes I was unable to take a picture off of a very slanted bridge on a very busy road last week when we had that kind of weather.

This has been the vista for a few days anyway, and I should allow some honesty about the weather for when I look back on these pics in the future.

One thing about the rain, though I don't know if you can see it here, the forest along the river is a jungle of greeny goodness.

Now, on to the give-away.

I have figured out a way to satisfy my insatiable need to make toys without clogging up the kids' room with anything more.

I would like to give away a rocket.

I designed these last year and I had planned to make them for the craft show that I didn't get in.

The two choices are these: On the right we have a vintage flour sack (I bought it 15-20 years ago, and it was an antique then) and on the left we have the makings of a camouflaged rocket, unable to be detected against the night sky.

My kids really love these rockets and I would love to share them with you all out there.

Please leave a comment saying which color scheme you like better and I will pick a winner at random.

I will close the comments on Friday at 9:00 PM

Thanks for reading and commenting for these past 100 posts, and I hope that we can continue our conversations for many, many more.

Jess

  2. Congrats on your 100th post! I have been loving all the pictures from the fifth lamp... it's a breath of MN for one who is trapped in the desert. :) I think both rockets would be really cute!

  3. congrats, Jess, on your 100th! I love the rockets (so would my dear nephew) and his dad works for NRAO - national radio astronomy observatory, so of course the camo. one would be best. Miss working with you at the Yarnery!

  4. What a cute rocket - the vintage fruit is adorable, and I love the concept of space camo. They're both awesome squishy goodness!

    I must say that the photo chronicle of time passage from the fifth lamp is a great framework for your blog. I love to see the seasons evolve from your vista. Thanks for sharing!
