Springtime means beautiful flowers and lush greenery, bursting with enthusiasm, return to my long-slumbering yard. Welcome back, color and life!

What else is resurrected? The What’s That Wednesday brain-stumper contest!

Today’s item comes from my friend and yours, JD of the I Do Things blog.

When she sent me the picture, I had no idea what it was, and that was with the benefit of seeing the object in its entirety.

You’re in trouble because, as is the tradition with these things, you only get to see a bit of it.

How to play:

1. The photo shows a small portion of a larger object.

2. First person to guess the object wins a Junk Drawer magnet and your choice of bacon bandages, Jesus bandages, or glow-in-the-dark skeleton keys covers.

whats that

If you think you know what it is, drop a comment in the drawer.

If you give up, head over to my friend Bill White’s blog for his version of What’s That? For the record, I have no clue what his item is, so don’t ask me for clues.

Bill is a columnist for my local paper, and also an adjunct professor at the university where I work. I’d like to thank him for inviting me as a guest speaker in his Journalism class to talk about blogging on Monday.

I’m honored for the invite and grateful that his students were so attentive and asked such probing questions. What a great group of kids!

Now put on your thinking caps and get crackin’.

Stumble it!
