BEST BLOG AWARD
NOW THAT’S A COMPLEMENT.
Praveshree at whatever has awarded us the Best Blog Award. We are very honored to accept. Did you ever wonder why you liked a particular blog? Well it just dawned on me besides the fact that it is a very good blog and allows us to learn about how people live and do things in another part of the world.
When Liza and I where boaters not doing much gardening we had a 28 ft cabin cruiser named WHATEVER. Many weekends of fun and enjoyment cruising the coast of New England. Now we are enjoying how others live and do things on a Blog called WHATEVER.
Thanks Praveshree your blog is wonderful.
Here are the rules :
Post the award on your blog along with the name of the person who passed it on to you and link to their blog. Choose 10 blogs which you have recently discovered and you think are great and pass it on to them. Don’t forget to leave a comment on their blog to let them know they been chosen for this award.
Here is my list. I have bent the rules a little, some of these blogs I have not recently discovered but think they are great. I am sure some of them have received this award before.
Whole Life Gardening
Blue Gate Gardens
The Balcony Garden
Toronto Gardens
Flower Hill Farm
InterLeafings
ilona’s garden Journal
Garden on the Edge
A Garden of Possibilities
Country Gardener
I could go on and on but the rules say 10 so here they are.
That’s it folks. Visit these links and let them know what you think.
Congratulations John and Liza. That’s quite a compliment! Good for your!

Good Morning Beth. Thank You. Saw your post about the puppy, sorry it did not workout. One of ours came to us as a did not work out puppy.
At the same time we had another puppy and they are still young and energetic. They and We survived through it all and now they are members of our family. Hope your next one works out.
Enjoy your day,
John

Hi John and Liza: Thanks so much. That’s very kind of you. I’m a bit embarassed that I haven’t posted much lately. I’m working on a redesign of my web site http://www.flower-gardening-made-easy.com (which means a lot of cutting and pasting of content into a new template), and I’ve given myself a bad case of repititive strain injury, which makes even typing a bit difficult. So it might take me some time to reciprocate, but I will.

John and Liza, Thank you so for honoring me by including Flower Hill Farm on your list! It is very kind of you. Whatever sounds like a good name for a boat… to be open to possibilities … very similar in gardening. Now I understand your cap. I thought you looked a bit like a captain. Thank you again and I look forward to strolling through yours and the other blogs you have listed. Best, Carol

Good Evening Carol: “Whatever” to be open to possibilities. Never thought of it that way, its appropriate for that boat. I wonder if Praveshree thinks of her blog that way. Your right about the hat, I have several authentic made in Greece also have a Tilley that I wear gardening.
Thanks and you are welcome. Enjoy your evening,
John

Congratulations! You certainly deserve this. You should also be given a Best Blogger award because you are one the nicest bloggers I know.
Thank you so much for awarding me this. I am very flattered and humbled by this. I very recently did two award postings so I may have to give some thought on how to do this one without overstaying my welcome if you know what I mean. hehee.
Thank you so much John for your wonderful compliment. This means a great deal to me. Now I will have something special to smile about while I am out there in 30 degree weather planting bulbs this afternoon. brrr.

HI LeSan: Congratulations to you and thank you for the nice complement.
30 degrees its about 60 here today. Cold again tomorrow. Guess the Bulbs won’t care, they are pretty tough. You can thaw out tonight bulbs will have to wait until spring.
Enjoy the rest of the day. Make it fun,
John
