It was a beautiful spring-like day although a bit windy to welcome the first day of March. It's wonderful to be able to open a few windows and let in fresh air. I can smell spring in the air. We were lucky to escape the severe weather this week. My heart goes out to those struck by tornadoes this week, including Branson. I'm reminded when I see the news how our beautiful days and lives can quickly change when severe storms roll in.
I've also been lucky this week to have 3 awards given to me by Dianna of These Days of Mine. Thank you, Dianna, I appreciate your generosity! If you haven't visited These Days of Mine, please check out this delightful blog.
The first award is the cheerful looking Sunshine Award. It seems that in order to accept this award I must answer a few questions.
Favorite color: Blue
Favorite animal: Cats, but horses would have come in first when I was young!
Favorite number: Seven
Favorite non-alcoholic drink: Pepsi
Prefer Facebook or Twitter? I don't do either.
My passion: My family
Prefer getting or giving presents: Giving.
Favorite pattern: Probably gingham check.
Favorite day of the week: Friday, because that means the weekend is next.
Favorite flower: Lilacs or roses, I can't decide.
The second award is the Genuine Blogger Award. There are no stipulations attached to this award and I am proud to accept it.
The third award is the Hug (Hope Unites Globally) Award. It must be passed along to at least one other person. You can find out more about the Hug Award here.
I am passing along these 3 awards to the following 3 bloggers:
Sandie at Chatty Crone. Sandie has a very uplifting blog and she makes you smile, especially every Friday.
Marie at Women Talk About Life. Check out Marie's blog where she talks about a variety of things.
Barb at Grandma Barb's This and That. I haven't known Barb long, but she has a most interesting blog filled with wonderful photos.
Until next time...
Congratulations on your awards. I love your new blog look!

ReplyDeleteI don't do awards on my blog because I get so many people reading my blog who are ill. I don't want them to have to read all that. But I do think it is great that you received 2 awards!!
Congrats on your awards. And it's nice to get to know you a little better.
