it's a beautiful day

I woke up to yet another mild and sunny late winter day. It makes me wonder how long this warm spell can last. And whether I should risk triggering a snowstorm by doing some clean-up work in the garden.

But the weather wasn't the only happy occurrence this morning. I also discovered that I have had an award bestowed upon me. Courtesy of Moonwolf at Howling at the Moon. Blog awards always make my day.



But with great awards come great responsibility. As always, there are rules:

1. Thank the person who gave you this award.

Thank you Moonwolf. You've made my morning!

2. Share 7 things about yourself.

Hmmmm . . . okay. If you really want to know.

1. I once tried to fly by tying rhubarb leaves to my arms. And luckily lived to tell about it.
2. I have been known to eat sweetened condensed milk right out of the can. But only occasionally. Really.
3. I've tried, but cannot make myself like pumpkin seeds. They nauseate me.
4. I've tried, but cannot make myself like roller coasters. They nauseate me.
5. I'm a huge fan of golden age comics (1940's/50's). So simple and sincere.
6. I used to close my eyes during the opening of The Six Million Dollar Man because it disturbed me when it showed his skull x-ray.
7. I still close my eyes during horror movie previews. Especially the gory ones.

3. Pass the award along to 15 bloggers who you have recently discovered and who you think are fantastic!

This part may be difficult. I follow many blogs. Last time I checked, I was approaching 100. But most of them are old favourites. Very few have been added recently. All are fantastic. So I'm going to risk the wrath of the blog-award gods and postpone this part until I begin following more blogs. Or perhaps indefinitely. We'll see.
