no time to catch up...on things left undone. things that need finishing!
i need to stop. breathe.
....................................................................................................
let me take a few minutes to mention that there's an 'AWARD' going around...
a blogger receives it...and then passes it on to other blogs they like.
it kinda reminds me of one of those emails you get that says..."pass this along to..."
well, i don't do them. does that make me a party pooper?
am i spoiling the pleasure of others...by declining to participate with enthusiasm??
i think anyone who has a blog...anyone who takes the time to post their thoughts,
writings, feelings, stories, photos, art...
deserves an award.
every blog...is someone's special place.
usually...when someone leaves me a comment...if they have a blog...i go check it out.
and if their blog interests me...i follow...
ANYWAY, two of the blogs i visit regularly & vice-versa...
have passed this award along to me...and other bloggers.
and i thank them for that!!
if i WERE to pass this award along...they would be on my list.
so MUCH THANKS and GRATITUDE to:
BeMistified AND Functional Koas
for including me in your 'award' giving! :) (check out their blogs!)
and after you check them out...here are a few more i feel deserve a mention...

ReplyDeleteHi Laura, i like your blog soooo much and your landviews - it must be satisfying to live there.
ReplyDeleteIn Tirol its also beautiful but not so much nature you have at home.
So i'll always return to your blog, because nature and love is the best we can have in life.
Take care about yourself-

Thanks so much for having my blog on Your fav list. I love what You do with Your blog . Thanks too for being such an Awesome E-Friend! peace
ReplyDeleteHave you seen my NC garden blog. I just posted there this morning too.

Oh wow! Thank you. As a new blogger I have to say that gives me such a boost. At this time of year I wonder what direction the blog will be able to take. Winter can seem so quiet on the nature scene. ATB!oxfgz
ReplyDeleteaww ... no worries dear. We all have our own ways of 'sharing the love'. Yours was the first blog I 'followed' when I started this and still one I look eagerly to see if you posted yet when I log on.
ReplyDeleteLove that hawk, I don't see too many of them here in SC. I used to get almost daily visits back in KY, kinda miss that.
Laura...thanks for putting me on your list! Maybe I'll see if I can get the old man to build you a bat house. Hey,I, ME, found a bone today in my yard while weed whacking...:) XOXO
ReplyDeleteThank you for putting me on this list. I am really honored. Love the sunset shot. There's something about the pinks and peaches in the sky at sunset.
ReplyDeleteWell said Laura. Party Pooper? No way.
ReplyDeleteIt'd be a boring old blogland if everyone held the same views.
Mustang Sally nailed it when she said "we all have our own ways ..."
Cheers :D
You really have a wonderful parcel of forest out there and I thank you for sharing your pictures and stories of them.
ReplyDeleteSurely even without the awards we are happy to rave about your blog.
I have just discovered this recently and I really admire your crafts....there's just so much more to know and see here, I just keep coming back!
Cheers! ^_^

THANKS ALL!! :]
Hi, I am still very new at blogging and have very little knowledge of how it all works. Just writing bits and pieces of what I think. Don't know about pictures and the rest. Maybe later.
ReplyDeleteSure enjoy your blog and your pictures are really great.
Laura - Love your site, & it's great to see someone else who is as crazy about nature and all the fantastic life out there as I am. I also collect bones, but tend to keep them as skeletons to use in teaching kids about how things are "built". I enjoy contrasting your wildife with what we have up here in NW Washington State. We did live in Texas for a couple of years & visited Florida once, so know there are all sorts of wonderful DIFFERENT creatures "down there".I'm not crazy about awards either, but you definitely deserve one!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the gorgeous photos and your insights.
ReplyDeletekaren forester, Ladybug and smileys_hope...thanks for stopping in!! and so glad you enjoyed my small piece of nature here!
ReplyDeleteand Ladybug...nice to hear we have a common interest...BONES!! if we were to compare them...i can just imagine the difference between washington & FL...WOW!!
thanks for all your kind words guys!! laura :]
