Wait for it...
Aaaandddd...
go!
Ah, what a glorious feeling..
A nice cool bath!
Just what a bird needs on a hot summer's day!
A big thank you to all those of you who leave out a little water in a shady spot for us wildlife during this summer heat. We appreciate it!
Onto other happenings at the Red House Garden, I want to thank the wonderful and singular Jane over at Tidy Gardens by Jane for awarding my blog with the One Lovely Blog Award! I appreciate it!
In accepting this award, I am required to share 7 facts about myself with everyone:
1. As a kid, I always thought that working for National Geographic would be the best job in the world, as I love to see new places.
2. I get very motion sick very easily.
3. Since motion sickness pretty much rules out a job where I travel (and National Geographic would probably not like an employee that was drugged half the time), I decided to go with my second, only slightly less glamorous career choice, that of a math teacher.
4. Actually math teacher was my third choice, as genius girl detective didn't really work out for me, either.
5. But I do collect old girl detective novels..
6. and I enjoy taking pictures of wildlife (if you couldn't tell). I think this gardening blog is in danger of turning into a wildlife and nature blog!
7. And I do still love to go new places. I am fortunate to have had opportunities to visit several different countries, including Singapore and India, thanks to relatives that have lived there.
Also, as part of this award I am supposed to pass it on by naming several other blogs deserving of this award. Well, I have the list of my favorite blogs over on my sidebar - all of them are very worthy blogs. I do believe in promoting new deserving bloggers as well - when I find the time, I plan to have a post on just this topic! Happy Gardening!
UPDATE: What a twice as nice feeling - Nadeszda from Nadezda's Northern Garden also nominated me for this award! Thank you, Nadeszda!
