And the Winner Is.......

It's finally spring outside.  You can tell by the birds chirping and the whisper in the breeze.  Hubby tells me the definitive sign that spring is finally here has occurred.  The Masters are taking place this weekend.  Well thank goodness the weather has finally turned because I sure don't want to be stuck in the house watching golf all weekend.

Luckily I was able to drag my husband away from the tv long enough to pull a name out of a hat.

So, here's what we've all been waiting for.......

drum roll please ........

The winner of the glass ornament

Nell Jean @ Secrets of a Seed Scatterer

(Nell can you please send me your mailing address.  I can be contacted at

How pleased I am to be able to send this gift to one of my first supporters.  Last year, when I was just starting this blogging venture she was one of the first to 'fave' me on Blotanical.  An active member she found this newbie and gave me a nudge.  Now one year later I can return the favour.

For those of you who are non-garden bloggers who might be wondering what the heck Blotanical is.  Or what exactly is a 'fave' anyway?  Blotanical is self described as a place 'where garden blogs bloom'.  It is a place to discover garden blogs, meet other bloggers and share in all our gardening obsession.  Faving is basically saying, hey, I like this blog, other people should read this too.

For those of you who may not know Nell, she hails from Rural Southwest Georgia.  The seeds she scatters are mainly those of her 'bulletproof' california poppies.  Bright gobs of orange standing out in the hot humid climate of her zone 8 garden.  Her blog is delightfully organized.  A woman after my own heart.  Tabs for lilies, daffodils, camellias.  A garden inventory.   Notes on what's going on in her greenhouse.  What fruit she's growing.  I adore lists.  Particularly lists of plants.  Although I'm smitten with this post which has nothing to do with flowers whatsoever.

Once again I'd like to thank each and every one of you who read my blog.  I've received wonderful feedback from so many of you and I've enjoyed exchanging stories.  I look forward to another year together and more adventures to enjoy.
