Best Blog Award

November 18, 2009

Fancy that, a best blog award!  I got notice yesterday from Rosie of “Realising the Dream” fame that she’s given me a blogger award.  Well, how cool is that!?!   I’ve been enjoying popping in and reading about her farm in Britain, and she returns the favor and pops in and reads about our farm in the southern U.S.

Best Blog Award

Anyway, this blog award is presented from one blogger to another to say:

“Well Done! Big Thumbs Up! Love the Blog!”

Gee, thanks Rosie!

And now, as requested by the rules that go along with this award, here are the blogs I love to read, so I’m nominating:

starAdkins Family Farm – I like this one because I grew up in West Virginia and enjoy reading about farms there.

starFront Porch Indiana – Blog about restoring their 100 year old farmhouse into a working homestead.  She has SHETLAND SHEEP, which I am totally partial to!

starHomemakers Tales– From a friend living in North Cornwall, United Kingdom, who loves fixing up her house.  We both deal with chronic pain and fibromyalgia (can we say empathy!??).

starIn The Shadow of Juniper Hill – Just landing there and seeing her awesome photo header brightens my day!

Best Blog Award

starLaughing Orca Ranch – Coming from New Mexico, with some great photos of the surrounding countryside, her farm and critters, and family! Her fun personality shines through!

starMy Little Bit of Heaven – Coming from Texas, lots of humor and some great pics.  A pleasure to read.

starNorthern Michigan Experience – Gorgeous photographs from the northern United States.

starRamblings Around Texas – Here’s another blog from, you guessed it, Texas!  Lovely photos of the country around there.

starSeasons Eatings Farm – This blog belongs to a dear friend in Maine, written with humor and style.  Farming, Maine wildlife, adventures in the greenhouse!

starSugar Creek Stuff – Her crafts are works of art.  Seriously.  What she does with a sewing machine and fabric totally blows me away!

starViewing Nature with Eileen – A blog from Maryland with most excellent pictures!

starWrensong Farm – Another farm with SHETLAND SHEEP, so I have to drop in now and then and see what new pictures are there!  Coming from Monroe, Washington, with some awesome scenery.

This list is shorter than the 15 asked for in the rules, but hey! I only have so much time to read blogs, and these are the ones I visit on a regular, or semi-regular basis.  (Depending on how busy I am!)  Though I did notice Rosie had already done a couple I read, so I decided to just use “new” blogs.

Now the rules:

  1. Anyone awarded with this one must pass this “BEST BLOG” Award to 15 bloggers who he/she thinks have the best and greatest blogs.
  2. For the new awardee… To receive and accept this award, copy and save the award, then…
  3. Make a post in your blog about the award, like this one, but write in your own words, or at least a reasonable facsimile.
  4. In your post, mention the name of the blogger who awarded you, and include a link to their blog.

That’s all!  Happy Blogging!
