O.k..a few days ago Momlady gave me the Nice Matters Award. I wanted to p[ass that on because I have met SO many really NICE bloggers..new friends and old..SO...

1. I want to give this award to a very special blogger, someone i have known for many years altho we have never met in real life. This woman has called me to check on me, has encouraged me, and prayed for me through all of the weirdness my life seems to ooze even though she has faced major hardships and pain in her own life. So..Marla, thank you.

2. My next award person is Jenny at Up the Hill Gang who has also been a friend and sweetly COMMENTS on my blogs unlike the rest of you lot. :)

3. Next is someone who I never met IRL but I think *might* be in the same odd genetic whirlpool as me. I am adopted so who knows? Rechelle at Country Doctor's Wife is hysterically funny and never fails to make me laugh..and totally identify with what she is writing about...because we both know what it is to be the mom of a plethora of testosterone laden individuals that truly believe the way to a woman's heart is being able to burp the Star Spangled Banner.

4. Valli, from More Than Burnt TOast is rapidly becomming one of my favorite bloggers ..especially with her *droolworthy* pictures.

There are actually a ton of other people but this is it for now.. :) Enjoy your awards.... you deserved them


On to the next thing...
I have been writing for Hubpages. According to my very lucrative contract with them I need to promote myself on my other blogs...this and apron strings..so ...
I have been really looking into green techniques. I think that as a Christian it is important to be gentle with the earth. I don't understand the mentality that has no concept of the intricate details that went in to creating htis planet. Personally if I was God people would get smote regularly.
Luckily I am not God.
Anyway..I want to restore this house but I also want it to be off grid, sustainable and gorgeous. All on the $3 I found in my pocket this morning. One way is to create a sustainable garden, one that is created especially for the climate and soil conditions here...
I wrote baout some of the hows of that last night, Sustainable Organic GArden Design so check it out.
