Contest the Winners Are?

Folks,
Not sure if the pink flamingo floated yesterday or this morning. So I have the winners.

Shady Gardener of Does Everything Grow Better in My Neighbor's Yard?
Stuart and Alice of Bluebird Meadows
Grace Peterson of Gardening With Grace
Di of Voice in the Garden
Jeremy and Jenny of  The Mountains Are Growing With Chile

Shady won because the flamingo fell over on the date she picked. The rest were the closest guesses to when the pink flamingo floated. So the winners please contact me with your address so I can send your prizes when I get back from Belize.

The Pink Flamingo Contest is still on!

The contest is still on, the pink flamingo is still standing out in the middle of our pond! The ice still covers to entire pond, two days ago it looked like there was open water on one side.
I'll recap the details on the contest:
The first 4 people to guess the date the Pink Flamingo floats in the pond wins a copy of my interactive CD book on the Butterflies of the Carolinas andVirginias. This CD covers every butterfly found in the Carolinas and the Virginias with excellent photos of every butterfly, 95 % of those taken by yours truly.

The flamingo is resting in mulch and the date(s) closest to when the flamingo and mulch float apart in the pond wins the contest.

Contest: Guess when the Flamingo floats

I thought a little contest would be in order! The first 4 people to guess the date the Pink Flamingo floats in the pond wins a copy of my interactive CD book on the Butterflies of the Carolinas & Virginias.

As of Sunday the ice in the pond was at least 4 inches thick. When will it melt and the pink flamingo end up floating? The flamingo is resting in mulch on the ice.

Hey can you believe I got Meg out on the pond on Sunday night!

Dot walking over the big cracks in the ice!
