#291 – verdant

where the storm passed by

a verdant patch abutted

salt water burned lawns

The Versatile Blogger Award – Part 1

Guile Castillo from Quiet Laughter has graciously passed  this award to me and I am very grateful.  In order to accept this award I have to do a few things

1) Thank the awarder and link back to them  – Thank you Guile!

2) Share seven things about myself  -see below

3) Pass award to 15 blogs I’ve recently discovered – Part II of the Versatile Blogger – coming soon!

Seven things about me: 

1. I am shy.

2. My son just started second grade.

3. I have a two year old  rescued Boxer/Rhodesian Ridgeback mix named Beau.

4. I have a sixteen year old black cat named Betty (Queen Bettista)

5. I am a little bit lost right now.

6. I am short.

7. I collect old classic books and sea glass.

Phew – that was harder than I thought – but I am grateful for the award and cannot wait to share the great blogs I have discovered!
