a tidy green tree
celebrates springtime with rouged
cheeks and saucy skirts

Okay, a little dose of flowers and haiku to set the mood, because there's some celebrating to do.

And I find myself with two more awards. My newly-found blog friend, Claire Dawn at Points of Claire-ification-- who is currently reading books in Japanese and Spanish, watching a movie in French and editing her own work in English--handed on the Picasso bouquet award to me. Since I have it already (in that mantle that is my sidebar) I thank her profusely and say, please go check out her blog. You will enjoy.

Also, there is the Prolific Blogger Award, which was bestowed on me by the talented Yvonne Osborne at The Organic Writer. Yvonne is never afraid of a writing challenge--she dives in, takes risks. As a result I've read some memorable snippets of her work that have stayed with me. If you haven't visited her yet, take this opportunity to click on over.
The Prolific Blogger comes with rules. Those who've read my blog know I'm creative with rules, but this time I'll try to stay inside the lines and prove I can be a prolific and rule-abiding blogger.
1) Pass it on to seven prolific bloggers. 2) Link to the person who gave it. 3 & 4) Link to the Advance Booking post where it originated and sign into Mr. Linky there.
(More than 250 people have received it and signed. It's fun to watch the widening ripples in the blogging pool, isn't it?)
So here are seven nominated bloggers who may wear the Prolific Blogger cape if they please. Nobody's going to check your word count. *grins*

I'm humbled and surprised to be considered a Prolific Blogger, as I only blog once a week (just posted about summing up your platform in one sentence), but it's certainly nice to be recognized. Thanks!
