I've been honored by this award from two of my lovely blogging friends, Vee at A Haven for Vee and A Woman Who is: at In a Garden. Thank you both so much for thinking of me.
This award is "dedicated to many who nourish and enrich the spirit and creativity. They see dedication, creativity, camaraderie, joy and above all, ART, much art. I wish that this prize is entertaining to all those bloggers and to bloggers who day by day share this space and enrich it a little more each day." ~Arte Y Pico

Okay, five blogs, in no particular order:
Carol at Charli and Me. I have totally fallen in love with Charli, a sweet little schnauzer. And Carol is pretty darn cool herself. :)
Jen at Jen's Chronicles . Jen has the best sense of humor. It is a real treat each time she posts photos of her amazing garden.
Gina from Patra's Other Place . Gina is such a tender, caring person. I wish she lived in my area so we could run around together; we enjoy so many of the same things. On the other hand, I've learned about Australia from her.
Katherine from Yellow Rose Arbor. Katherine is one of the most gracious ladies in blogland. She has a great eye for beauty and surrounds herself with it. Her blog is an oasis.
Lisa at Stop and Smell the Chocolate. Lisa is a new friend and I'm so glad I've met her. Her blog is sweet and funny and full of the joy of life.
