Wow! I Just Won A Prize!

Stella, of
The Fabric of My Life, has given me this wonderful honour! Thank you so much, Stella! On reading the other blogs she awarded, I am humbled to be in such company.

Now, I must nominate five blogs to pass this Arte y Pico award along to.

First, Darragh, of Cabin in the Woods. Darragh writes of her life, which I, for one, would love to live. She sings with a band, and lives with her dogs, "old man," and woods. Her thoughts range from music to philosophy, and she is a "must read" for me.

Next, Nelly of Nelly's Garden, gives us a lovely look at life in the country in Northern Ireland. She has dogs and chickens, and a family that I almost feel that I know, thanks to her wonderful words.

I have to send one to Milo of Jones Alley Magazine, for his irreverent and brilliantly written rants on national politics, astronomy, atheism and cats.

Lilo, of Lost in Lima Ohio, for her tireless efforts in support of crime victims.

Ronni Bennett of Time Goes By, for her continuing education of the blogosphere on the issues of aging. Not that she needs it--she has almost every award available, I think, but she writes like a well-educated demon on every facet of aging and ageism.

Thanks very much to Stella!
