Yesterday I received word that one of my blog posts had earned a Silver Award in the Garden Writers Association’s annual media awards. The post is self-described as “A rambling discourse written over several days about dried beans, home gardens, and the creative impulse.”
The post was entered in a relatively new category for electronic writing. The great thing about the GWA awards is that the association announces all the silvers in spring (the number of silvers in each category varies) and the big winner in each category is not announced until the GWA’s conference, which this year is in beautiful Raleigh, N.C., in September. In other words: Road Trip!
Congratulations, Mary. It’s every blogger’s dream to be recognized and awarded for a rambling discourse. Yours, of course, happens to be good.
Congratulations!
Congratulations! I remember reading that post–the award is well deserved!
Wonderful news! Congratulations, Mary!
Congratulations! We rambling garden bloggers salute you and will be waiting to hear of your adventures in Raleigh.
Thanks, everyone, for the good wishes! Coleen (with one l), welcome to the blog. It looks like we are neighbors in SE Mn, so I’ll add your blog to my blogroll. Colleen, (with two lls), I tried to buy your book yesterday, but it had not arrived yet. Any idea when it will be in stores?
Congrats on the award. And I would also love to get a leg lamp award. You better bet it would be displayed in my front window.
I read about your award and came over the read the post in question. It’s lovely! I’m out in CA and am adding you to my Midwestern/Northern blogroll.
