I have been presented with this award by Squirrel Queen. Her blog is beautiful with lovely photography and inspiring quotes. I found her wonderful blog through AlpHa Buttonpusher. And that's one of the joys of blogging--meeting new bloggy friends. Thank you Squirrel Queen (who loves flowers, photography, cats, and green)! (Check out this particular post and then just peruse her blog. SQ has 2 other blogs, so be sure to look to the right under the kitty.)

8 things about me people might find interesting:

2. I would love to hike to the bottom of the Grand Canyon (and back up, of course!)
3. I enjoy riding my road bike and am working on getting stronger.
4. I love old photographs of people.

7. I love seeing how sunlight filters through leaves.
8. With a friend, we had a camp for kids where we taught art, nature, movement, and music. (for 3 summers at a park)

Kreativ Blogger Award

Sinclair from NatureWithMe has honored me the Kreativ Blogger Award. Thank you! We do not know from whence this award originates, but it is fun to share some bloggy love. And it is lovely to be appreciated. So forth from me this award will go to four others whose creativity I enjoy (and you can, too):

How this works: You can state 6 things you are thankful for and pass this award on to others. Keep the badge for your blog if you wish.
I am thankful for much more than 6 things, but here are some: people I love, a happy life, good things to eat, fun things to do, wonders to see, and you (my reader), of course!

Sinclair, in her blog Nature With Me, writes of the natural world around her, of getting back to basics with her family. She writes of home remedies, recycling, compost, sustainability, and enjoying artistic expression through handmade goods. Her most recent undertaking is the revitalization of a greenhouse on her property. I highly recommend her very informative blog.
