Here's the new mystery picture. We'll see if I can be a tad trickier this time than last time. I was trying to be tricky last time, but obviously I missed the mark on that. I had no idea that all of you were country girls like me who knew your wood. .jpg)

Here is the picture nearly all of you figured out. And then the rest of the picture. I was imagining you seeing canyons and who knows what else. But most of you saw exactly what it was. A slice of tree trunk. Still, it's pretty neat, don't you think? I spotted it on my walk last week. A little bit of a tree sawed down and deserted. No fire made with it.
When I was a kid, one of my chores was to carry in loads of wood and stack it on the back porch for the woodstove. Helped develop my muscles. Even after I married, we burned wood for heat until a few years ago when my husband developed allergies. Nothing like the warmth of wood heat. Sitting by a fire, reading a book, drinking a cup of tea. Simple pleasures.
I've got all of you who made a guess on the last picture entered in the giveaway for one of my books and another grab bag book. Remember, I'm picking three winners on February 1, 2015. You have to be 18 to enter and a USA or Canadian resident to win the paper books. But if you live in other countries and want to play the guessing game, I'll send you an e-book if you win. If you guessed on the last picture and then guess again on this new picture, you get another entry. Each guess on a new picture earns an entry for you.
So what do you think it is? I do hope I have a few of you at least momentarily puzzled with this one. LOL. We'll see. You all are hard to fool. Remember, it's more fun to guess first and then check out the other guesses. The most important thing to remember is that it's all for fun. Wrong guesses get an entry the same as right guesses. But you do need to leave a way to contact you. If you don't want to leave your e-mail here, you can send your guess via my e-mail, annhgabhart(at)yahoo(dot)com or leave a message on my Facebook page.
Okay. Time to guess!!
My guess is pineapple. I am having fun with these pictures.

Thanks for stopping by with a guess, Susan. Come Sunday you'll see if you are right or wrong and I'll post a new picture.
DeleteI have no clue, so I'm going to say cut up pineapple....lisa_g_bragg@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by to make a guess, Lisa. Got you entered. Come back Sunday for the rest of the picture.
DeleteI Thought it was fresh cut pineapple also, but it could be ice. Carolann Ellmore barlenbay@comcast.net
ReplyDeleteGreat guesses, Carolann. And they got you an entry into the drawing. But you'll have to wait until Sunday to see if one of your guesses is right.
DeleteSlices of pineapple when I first saw it that is what I thought so going with my gut here. You've really got us on this one Ann!
ReplyDeleteGood that I'm making you think, at least, Patty. Thanks for joining in the fun.
DeleteFaye Simer says ...Oh Sure ! That's a hunk of lemon sponge cake !
ReplyDeleteLemon sponge cake, Faye. Do you think I cooked it myself? Come back Sunday to see if you're right.
DeleteOkay, you stumped me. I'm going with a creative "caterpillar in the snow" guess. Yep, sounds right to me, ha ha! thimbleluvr@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteWell, you may not be right, Amy, but your guess is very creative. Poor chilly caterpillar. LOL
DeleteIt is obviously yellow snow ---a passing polar bear or a dog left a mark. Or it is pineapple floating in a bowl of blue punch for a baby shower for a baby boy yet to arrive. Or....shoot fire....I have no idea so I guess I will focus on the yellow snow.

Annette, I'm certainly hoping it's not a polar bear down my way. LOL. But those are some good guesses. Yellow snow. Very interesting!!
DeleteMuch tougher Ann!! A frozen flower in a pond? HaHa!!
ReplyDeleteRobin in NC rw620{at}aol{dot}com
Great to hear that this picture is making you all use a little more brain power. I like your guess, Robin. Not saying it's right or wrong, just that it's a great guess.
Deletemy guess is angel food cake. Sm wileygreen 1(at)yahoo(dot)com
ReplyDeleteAhh, Sharon, I love angel food cake. Sounds lots better than that yellow snow. LOL. Come back Sunday to see if you're right.
DeleteYellow snow?? I'm loving the guesses.
ReplyDeletemarypres(AT)gmail(DOT)com
Got to watch out for that yellow snow, Mary. The guesses have been fun this time. Some of them could be right. Or maybe not. Come back Sunday for the big "reveal."
DeleteI'm going to say a close-up of French fries.
ReplyDeletenancylohr@charter.net
Great guess, Nancy. Not saying it's right or wrong, but still a great guess. We'll see who's right on Sunday.
DeleteMy guess is Pineapple. Or certainly looks like it to me lol I love the yellow snow comment. Simply too funny
ReplyDeleteThere have been some interesting guesses, Brenda. The yellow snow must come from somebody snowed in too long. LOL.
DeleteLooks like pineapple but the background looks like a frozen pond.
ReplyDeleteWell, Gail, you never know where you might want to float your pineapple. Check back Sunday to see the "rest" of the picture.
DeleteLemon bars on a blue plate sprinkled with sugar! Though my first though was pineapple, but on second thought (and look) I thought maybe not. Fun challenge!

Thanks for the chance to win and good luck to everyone.
god's Blessings!
Hi, Robbye. Thanks for stopping by to make a guess. Lemon bars sound delicious. You can check for the "big reveal" of the rest of the picture on Sunday. I'm busy trying to come up with mystery picture number 3.
DeleteI'm going to say it looks like a lemon.
ReplyDeletecampbellamyd at gmail dot com
It's yellow anyway, Amy. Great guess. I'm about to do the reveal and post a new picture. Thanks for jumping in with a guess and joining the fun.
DeleteI sent a guess last night but it didn't seem to have gone through. I said a yellow sponge! Thanks for the brain teasers! Linda
ReplyDeletedmcfarl101(at)juno(dot)com
As you know by now, yellow sponge wasn't right, Linda. But thanks for dropping by with a guess. Only one more mystery picture to go tonight, Wednesday, before I draw for the winners.
DeleteI am going to say pineapple. It's my favorite
ReplyDeleteoh.hello.hiya@gmail.com
And it was a favorite guess, Danie. Not too mysterious for most of you. However, the next mystery picture from Sunday has fooled everybody so far. The big reveal later tonight.
