I am late getting to the Daily Prompt at WordPress.com because I slept late. Now the why of sleeping late is rather embarrassing but it goes something like this:
Anyway now for the prompt: Run outside. Take a picture of the first thing you see. Run inside, Take a picture of the second thing you see. Write about the connection between these two random objects, people, or scenes.
Grabbing my camera I ran outside. Literally ran since that was the instruction and I am basically a rule follower.
Snow going!
The first thing? Yup. I mentioned warm winds the other day and the thirsty force of nature gobbled up my snow.
My winter
It’s a far cry from the photo I posted the other day (as above).
Next I ran again. (instructions and rules you know)
Windows open
And this is what came up on the second look: Open windows, every where in the house beckoning in this false spring.
Birds are singing. Residual snow in the first photo is even less this few minutes later. The darned old Magnolia tree is again in bud as are so many other trees. False springs are such a danger for crops due later as a freeze is certain to follow and the rhythm of nature will be off and in the long run it will mean more failed crops, less food and higher priced food in the future.
BUT on such a day (it is 12 cenlsius which in real language is 53.6 F) it is impossible not to let ones heart soar in the glorious warmth. Yup for Canucks this is almost shorts and Tee weather! Because after all we Canadians are a hardy lot!
When it comes to awards I have been blessed many times. When it comes to blogging awards I have also been blessed.
Linda Cassidy Lewis at lindacassidylewis.com has awarded me the Liebster Award..meaning loved or beloved
And how can I not love that? Regardless of stats there are always a favorite few who are loyal in comments and sharing their own kind of wisdom. When I get an award I always graciously pass it on to those loyal few who comment regularly. There are so many more I regularly read and love and Lord knows there will be more..insatiable appetite I have..and I would like to share all of them with you..but then you could not possibly read them all without abandoning your own loyal following.
I have to apologize to others who have passed awards on to me. I went through a period of totally being overwhelmed so know I missed someone. (today I cleared out almost 4,000 emails from posts and bloggers that came in in the last month or so). Do let me know so I can credit you.
I can’t possibly give you a list of things you don’t know about me…damn my transparency but I can give you a list of folk to follow in addition to the addys above: (Many have already received awards and may want to pass. For the others I send you blessings and thank you for making my day that much brighter!)
Colleen Brown at http://bikecolleenbrown.wordpress.com/ who has been a buddy since the beginning and who does enough exercise for the two of us..so I can take it easy.
Lois who is also a fairly new friend and who makes me wish I looked that good and who you will enjoy visiting at lroelofs.wordpress.com
Oh yes and Joss…if you read me you know all about Joss… my hero..or heroine… at crowingcrone.wordpress.com
Okay I know time to stop…. if I could I would send blogger love to so many…Mark are you listening..even though I don’t think you do the Award thing..how can you with millions of us…
