***There ARE other WONDERFUL blogs out there that choose not to display awards.

Here's three wonderful blogs that I chose for this award:

Theresa at TexWisGirl has beautiful photos of her ranch life, four legged children to share and she's quite the artist.

Sandie at Chattycrone is a christian gal with a little of this a lot of that and always gives you something to think about.

Ann at annssnapeditscrap is mother to Duke, he's so cute, and she is so creative and crafty!

Cheryl at thefarmersdaughter2 shares delicious photos of her road trips and the country side of Missouri.

Award and Sandhill Cranes Video

   Thank you, Cheryl for this Liebster Blog Award!   It means "beloved" or "good friend" in German.  This award is designed to bring additional recognition to those blogs with fewer than 200 followers.  If you receive the award, you should link back to the blogger that nominated you and nominate 5 more blogs.  That's it!  

Visit Sweet Cheryl AKA http://thefarmersdaughter2.blogspot.com/

Here are my 5 choices:

                     Ginny at Let Your Light Shine

                      Deb at My three boys and a bird dog

                     Mama-Bug's Nature Photos

                       Val at My Girlz Got Paws

                      Amanda at When You Stumble...Dance...

                     

It was difficult choosing just 5 bloggers because I like them all, but most have over 200 followers or don't accept awards.  These 5 bloggers are all very interesting and have wonderful blogs.  Check them out, you'll be glad you did! 

So, hubby and I went looking for those social birds AKA Sandhill Cranes.  We drove back out to the same area that we had seen them before, Orlando's main post office, and had our Flip Video Cam in hand.  There they were across a small pond...so it was safe to get out of the vehichle. LOL!
Here's a short video of the Sandhill Crane family.

An Award

Thanks a bunch to Sandie at http://chattycrone.blogspot.com/.  Her blog will always put a smile on your face!  Sandie knows I'm very new at blogging and it was so sweet of her to include me as one of the seven awardees. 

Here are the rules of this award:

1) Thank and link to the person who nominated you.

2) Share 7 random facts about yourself.

3) Pass the award to 12 of your blogging buddies.

4) Notify the recipients

Now she passed this award on and you are supposed to write seven random things about yourself. 

Here are seven random facts about myself:

1. I make up words to rhyme with other words, such as foodie woodie (when talking to my doggies),

honey woney (when talking to my husband),  sleepy weepy (when talking to my son), yawny wawny to them all, lol.

2. Can't stand to see anyone litter!!!

3. Out of the blue I often grab my husband's hand and start dancing with him...he loves it!

4. I've never been able to pass up an animal in need.  If I can't help then I call someone who can.

5. My son and I have always taken drives to get ice cream and to talk.  We still do, but now he's driving me.

6. I get very sad to see any elderly person walking in the heat or rain and you know they're walking because they have to not because they want to.

7. Since I was a young girl I have always liked t-shirts that simply read LOVE on them. :)

I'm so new at blogging that I don't know seven bloggers yet.  I have one terrific lady that has helped me almost from day one and I'm choosing her for the award, http://squirrelqueen2.blogspot.com/  The second blogger doesn't participate in awards, but has been a lot of help and we chat about our babies(doggies).  She's another great lady and so I just wanted to at least mention her, Sandra at http://fourpawsetc.blogspot.com/.
