My friend Anita from Prairie Dreams passed on this award to me. The award has been designed especially for Anita by anajz of The Sustainable Backyard and is one of the prettiest I've seen. Anita is such a big inspiration to me, not only for ways to go green, but more importantly in how to come out the other side of a disaster even better than before. Anita takes the time to answer each post to her blog and that has me checking in with her several times a day. Thank you, Anita!
