Sculpture Plus Give Away

This hanging ornament is the sculpture above the fireplace at Bully Hill. It's actually functional because it has 2 lights that work, well that are supposed to work. The one on the right burned out and they haven't replaced it. Unfortunately I was more interested in that light because of the green, clear and purple blown glass combination. I'm sure it looks cool when lit. I also love that it has a dragonfly on the right. The sculpture is more detailed than my picture can do it justice.
So today is the 1st day of the fairy give away. All you have to do is comment once only in this post and tomorrow's post. I will toss all the names in a hat and my girls will probably fight over who gets to pick. So good luck.

Birthday Surprise

After last year's birthday fiasco, I had low hopes for this year. But wait, my husband set up the best surprise! We went to Bully Hill Vineyards with my brother and SIL! I totally was surprised and didn't find out until an hour before we had to leave. Lucky for him because 1 minute later my MIL showed up to babysit.
We saw some really cool things along the way.
Well this is the coolest. We went through a wind turbine farm and it was so surreal. These turbines are gigantic and I just felt like giant's should be walking around among these.
When we finally arrived at Bully Hill and this was our view from the parking lot! Just beautiful! It was off season, so we couldn't eat at the restaurant but they did have a nice sit down area with appetizers.
This is where we sat, plus everyone was super nice and turned the fireplace on. We tried probably 10 wines all together and decided on buying these.
The Aurore, Pink Cawtaba, Ravat 51 and Traminette. They are all sweet wines and have really nice fruit after tastes. I don't know anything about wine but I really like these. They are pleasant with NO oak after taste. The oakie taste made me feel a little nauseous when I tried those.
Remember the next 2 days of posting, I will be putting the names in a hat and choosing a winners for the 2 fairies. Fairy #3 is still missing but I maybe able to find something else to give away.
