Thank you!

I was awarded a beautiful award today and I want to take this opportunity to tell Ian... THANK YOU SO MUCH for the award!! It is beautiful, isn't it? It is an honor, really!

The best part of this award is that it doesn't come with rules attached so there are no prerequisite numbers: no five this's or 7 that's that I have to write, so I will simply bide my time and pass on to other bloggers as appropriate.

I want to also take the opportunity to award the Great Comments Award to (drum roll please...) Marcy at Mainewords. (by the way, the award came from Trisha at WORD + STUFF who was given it by another. This is not original to me, just so I credit the right people here) I ran into Marcy quite a while ago- another blogfest (do they begin to sound like bars to you? You know, I met her in a bar some time ago, can't remember which one...) and I have had the pleasure of seeing the seasons come and go in Maine for the past couple of years. She blogs on her home state, her job at the vets and gives some insight into what she enjoys about certain WIPs that writers have emailed her. She also (and this is what I most want you to see) posts yearly on the Pumpkinfest in her neck of the woods and has some great pictures right now, so go drop by.
Now, hmmm... I was going to post some pictures, but I have already written quite a lot so I think I shall post this simple sunset and call it a day:
