Awards, for me?

Why, thank you!

I am very surprised not just to be awarded two awards this week (even though that is exciting in of itself), but to be awarded two awards from three fellow bloggers, all of whom I can't imagine myself not checking into their blogs on a weekly, if not daily basis.

So, thank you to:
Michelle for saying that my blog is awesome enough for this award. I really appreciate it.

These are some my favorite "Awesome" blogs that I'm choosing to bestow this award:
Life on a Southern Farm because I enjoy reading about her talented husband who builds things like water wheels and saw mills. And because she always is kind and helpful in her posts and replies.
Little Egg Farm because she's a wonderful story teller and photographer. She's made me both cry and laugh.
Little Keebler because she keeps it real. She makes you feel like you're chatting with her in the barn on a couple bales of hay. And her Appy horse, Rusty is cute!
Seatbelt for my Saddle because I love the name of her blog. I want a seatbelt for my saddle, too. She also has a great sense of humor.
The Knutson Family because I love visiting her blog full of wonderful photos of horses, kids and dogs. And I really like her friendly replies to my my blog posts.


And thank you to both Meg and Laura for "Sharing the Love" with me, because I truly needed it this week. My poison ivy symptoms have taken a turn for the worse after seven days and are really making my life miserable. I've been feeling sorry for myself, but your thoughtfulness lifted up my spirits today.

These are some of my special blog friends that I'd like to 'Share some Love' with:
Nuzzling Muzzles because she's honest, brave, knowledgeable, and has a big heart. And I never tire of seeing the pictures she takes of her three beautiful Arabian horses.
Life Beyond the Sidewalks because she has beautiful llamas and cute goats and a handsome grown-up son. She writes as if you are sitting across from her in her cozy kitchen over two cups of delicious herb tea.
Grey Horse Matters because she likes my Polish chickens. haha! I am impressed and in awe of how she rescues horses and gives them a brand new beautiful life. And she often has some very helpful information to share.
Farm Dreams because this gal has been through so much trying to attain her dreams. She has a big heart, loves animals, is always kind with words, and she has an adorable son.
Children in the Corn because she's the real deal. Life on the farm, raw, and in all it's beautiful, natural glory. And I always get a kick out of reading the funny replies from her Dad (Grey Wolf).

Thank you so much! It means so much that you thought of me. I posted about it on my blog.

And I'm sorry about the poison ivy. Logan woke up 2 mornings this week with his left eye swollen shut. Putting ice on it for 30 minutes helped a lot each day.

I am glad that I came over here and found you a while ago :)

Awww, shucks! Thank you for sharing the love and congratulations on your well-deserved awards.

How did I miss that you hadn't gotten the "Awesome Site Award"? I would have given it to you! I felt like I was just sitting on my hands, that all the blogs I read had given the award to each other.
You deserve both these awards and more!
I'm sorry about your poison ivy. Have you had cortisone shots yet? My poor sister is terribly allergic PI and got it while peeing in the woods. You can guess where she got it. Wishing "cool and not miserable" thoughts to you.

Thanks twinville for sharing the love. What nice things you said about me. But I'm afraid I would be drinking coffee. You can have tea though if you'd rather. I hope somday you can come sit in my kitchen.
