Lemonade Stand Award!

Wow, thank you "Spinning Yarns From the Farm"!!! This is my first blog award. Well, I did get the "My blog is muck boot-tabulous" sticker from Laughing Orca Ranch, which is proudly displayed, but the Lemonade Stand Award is for "gratitude and/or a great attitude." Well, I try to show gratitude on my blog, for all the great things I enjoy about my little farm, and life in general. I hope I have a good attitude most of the time, although I've been known to be cranky on occasion (just ask Kelly!) I love to read Spinning Yarns from the Farm because it makes me smile, or teaches me something, or just makes me feel good. For example, check out the latest "goat milking tips" post. What a giggle!

Now, here's the really fun part!! I get to bestow the award on others!

The Rules:

1. Put the logo on your blog or post
2. Nominate 10 blogs that show gratitude or great attitude or both
3. Be sure to link your nominees within your post
4. Let them know they have received this award by commenting on their blog
5. Share the love and link this post to the person whom you received your award from

So here we go, blogger friends, I am sharing the love and awarding you the Lemonade Stand Award for your great blogs that show gratitude or great attitude, or both! (sorry if you've received the award before, but it never hurts to win twice! Just ask lottery winners!!) These are in no particular order...

Lola Nova - I bestow this award on you because your blog was one of the first that I read after setting up my own blog, because you commented on mine, and you always have such great ideas (= great attitude) and you show a love for life that I find infectious (gratitude).
