Wow! THREE People Awarded Me the Sisterhood of World Bloggers’ Award!

Wow!  I’m stunned, flattered, honored, humbled, and just plain flabbergasted!  Not one, not two, but THREE people awarded this to me!  Those wonderful, generous, kind people are in alphabetical order by first name are:  Elizabeth Townes, Lynn Baillie, and Riki Cleveland.

 

The Four Simple Rules of the Sisterhood of the World Bloggers Award

1. Thank the giver and link to their blog.
2. Post 7 things about yourself.
3. Pass the award on to 7 other bloggers and let them know they’ve won!
4. Include the logo of the award in a post or on your blog.

So here goes:

Seven things about me:

1.  I love chocolate.  I no longer try to live on it, but I still eat it.  I was spending $15/week on chocolate.  The good stuff.  But now I don’t.  It’s still yummy!

2.  I love just about anything with four legs and fur.  Well, almost anything.  There are exceptions.  But mostly dogs, cats, horses.  I currently have one dog, two cats, and three horses.  I also have eight chickens.

3.  I’m trying to grow my own food.  This is my third year with a vegetable garden.  The tomatoes are doing fairly well, especially the yellow cherry tomatoes.  I found out about pruning tomato plants this year.  I’ll be overrun with potatoes soon and that’s good.  The peas didn’t fare well again.  I have chard, melon, and turnips, too.  The carrots refused to grow.   And I had few strawberries.

4.  I love berries.  All kinds of berries.  And berry season is almost over here.  I’ll be sad when it is.

5.  I hawk someone else’s hummus at farmers’ markets.  Good stuff.  This job keeps me entertained.

6.  I love music and dancing.  I used to dance many styles – jazz, ballet, Polynesian!  A girl with long, really long, blonde hair doing the hula!

7.  I clicker train my animals.  Or, at least, I try to.  I’m better with the horses than with the “new” eleven-year-old dog!
