Blotanical Nominations - for me?

Hey, I am a nominee for the 2009 blotanical awards!

New this year is an award for each state.

For example, Utah's is called 'Best Utah Blog'

To be honest, I don't think there are that many Utah gardening blogs registered with Blotanical.

But as I scrolled thru the nominees,

it was a pleasant surprise to see that I had been nominated!

So help me out, and head over to Blotanical

(where there are bloggers from all over the world listed)

and check it out (and hey, vote for me!)

There are 4 days left to vote.

I am messing with my 'look', and haven't crashed yet. Let me know what you think.

Kreativ Blogger Award....... thanks to the Sass!

So, I've won an award! Those daughters of mine are so good to me!
(you don't s'pose this is a pity award, do you?)

As a winner, I will name 6 things I am grateful for:

1. my health

2. my thoughtful husband

3. my kids, g'kids, and kids in laws

4. friends

5. flowers and gardening

6. chocolate!

This is our thankful tree----

Each leaf is something we are thankful for. We add our leaves at dinner time.

So, now I'll name six other blogs that I enjoy reading to pass this award on to :

Lynne at Lynne's Somewhat Invented Life,

Kylee at Our Little Acre,

Carolyn at Sweet Home and Garden Chicago,

Carol at May Dreams Gardens,

TAMN at Seriously, so Blessed!,
