A while back I mentioned that nominations were being accepted for the Mouse & Trowel awards. Frankly, I didn’t expect to get nominated, as I couldn’t spare the time to “promote” myself and the garden blogging arena has gotten quite a bit more crowded. Imagine my surprise to discover I had been nominated for the Best Rural/Farming Blog category. I’m in great company, as you can see by the vote widget in the sidebar.
Thank you to everyone who nominated this blog. I am honored and deeply grateful for your vote of confidence. There are many other categories besides the rural one. The Mouse & Trowel voting page has them all. If you vote for the Rural category by using the sidebar widget here, don’t vote again for that same category at the Mouse & Trowel page.

Congratulations, Kathy, and good luck to you! I’ve also been nominated for the best post of the year…I can’t believe it I’m in the finals! I’ll definitely vote for you, and for Pam @ Digging. There’s a couple other faves on the list as well.
