Through Wishes, Dreams And Other Things by way of McGuffy's Reader I have been graciously awarded the Creative Blogger Award. Thank you for this honor.
I thank who awarded me, link to them, and tell my deep dark secrets (something) about myself.
1. I began my blog in September '08. A variety of subjects were written about during my seven years of blogging. I have bared my soul, told scary fictional and non-fictional tales, written some "poetry", shown my "art", shared my ideas, my laughter and tears of farming and life. If there's a subject you are interested in, type a word in the search at the upper left of my blog and you can see what I thought about that subject at the time. I'm not out of words yet!
2. Life is full of changes and so has my blog writing changed. In the beginning I feared showing my face. My first profile photo was a goat's behind sticking out of a feed sack. I don't know that my face is better but it's different. One thing blogging has given me is bravado. The best thing I have gained is many wonderful friends. They support me, encourage me, cry and laugh with me and appreciate me just the way I am...or so they say. Oh, and I tease a lot.
3. I have a Rebel camera and am trying to learn how to take pictures better than just click and shoot. This may take me a while so please be patient.
4. You who know me are gonna laugh cause this ain't a secret...I love dogs, horses, nature and rocks!
5. I believe we are stewards of the land and hope to leave it better than it was. I believe in The Creator and the Boogie Man (he/she has many faces). I believe we make a difference when we write. We make the world smaller by coming together. I believe there is always something to learn and yet also believe there is nothing new under the sun. My wise grandmother told me to believe nothing I hear and only half of what I see so I have some cynicism but much optimism.
I hope it balances out.
Thank you for sharing this award with me.
One more thing: My mind, like Diamond Lil in this picture, is always busy whether it shows or not.

Self Portrait
for dVerse~Poets Pub
Self Portrait
Not a wearer of pink
Nor dresses
I keep my face hidden
While I watch Nature
As if she were a Oscar-winning movie
Times ago
I wore pink dresses
Life leeches the pastels
Leaving earth tones
Blue jeans and big shirts
I want to be remembered
By the actions I've taken
Not how good I looked
In the coffin
I want to slip away
To be a thought
That crosses someone's mind
"I knew her..."
And they smile
Knowing I'm not far away
