Sweet!

Many thanks to Elizabeth Young at The Garden Gate for this lovely award.  According to the rules of this award, I'm to share seven things about myself and nominate fifteen bloggers.  Here goes:

Seven things about myself:

1. I'm not good at following directions.

Fifteen blogs that I enjoy (in no particular order):

• the red dress club: I love this site for its terrific writing prompts.
• http://oneminutewriter.blogspot.com/: Great for when you want a warmup or just think you don't have anything to say.
• http://worldfrommywindow.blogspot.com/: Lovely look at country life. 
• http://www.moderateoven.com/: Don't know what to have for dinner? Check out this site.
• http://keplers.blogspot.com/: All things books.
• http://coffeesandcommutes.com/:  Interesting blog on life and writing.  Plus I love the design.
• http://brtom.typepad.com/wberry/ All things Wendell Berry.  I haven't spent too much time on this site, but plan to go back.
• http://www.missminimalist.com/: Simplify your life.  I like the idea of owning just 100 things.  I've read that people "cheat" on this: They consider a collection one thing.  So my 200 books in the basement really count as just 1.  I'm good.
• http://barenakedfamily.com/: Family sells everything and hits the road.
• http://fiddler42.blogspot.com/: Neat site on homeschooling.
• http://canadianhomelearning.blogspot.com/: Another nice homeschooling site.
• http://maggiesfarmicelandics.blogspot.com/: Back to the land and the basics.  Love this site.
• http://iggiandgabi.blogspot.com/: Neat writing site that bucks tradition.
• http://citym.org/ue/  The owner of this blog is my brother, an excellent writer.
• http://dionneford.com/ Fascinating site.  Terrific research.
