And she mentioned a giveaway on <a href=\"http:\/\/charlaneg.blogspot.com\/\">Char&#8217;s<\/a> blog. I went and entered. And for the second time, Kate sent me to a giveaway that I won. Is she good or what? Or maybe I am. I don&#8217;t know. But I was thrilled because among the prizes Char offered was one of her very own photos. I chose this one:<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px; text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: #000000 2px solid;\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3128\/2559449997_1abe6e4042_m.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<span style=\"font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 0px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/charlaneg\/2559449997\/\"><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\">bowl of sunshine<\/span><\/a><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\">Originally uploaded by <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/people\/charlaneg\/\"><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\">CharlaneG<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>But here&#8217;s the thing &#8211; I get to pay it forward to three [that&#8217;s 3!] other bloggers! And I have just the thing &#8211; each winner will receive an 8 x 10 print of this photo:<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-705\" title=\"grass500\" src=\"http:\/\/dlynz.com\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/grass500.jpg\" alt=\"grass500\" width=\"500\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"http:\/\/dlynz.com\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/grass500.jpg 500w, http:\/\/dlynz.com\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/grass500-300x240.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/>\u00a0I chose this one because I have seen it printed already and I know it looks nice. It&#8217;s done on metallic paper so that the grass has this really pretty golden undertone.<\/p>\n<p>So &#8211; to enter:<br \/>\n1. I guess you must have blog, because you need to pay it forward on your blog.<br \/>\n2. Leave a comment answering this question &#8211; What is the best part of the month of February?<br \/>\n3. You must be willing to pay it forward if you win and have a giveaway, awarding 3 winners on your own blog<br \/>\n4. US addresses only, one entry per person<br \/>\n5. No family members will be eligible &#8211; if you are really nice to me, I might send you something anyway though.<\/p>\n<p>Contest open until Friday at 9:00PM EST Winners will be chosen by the Random Integer Generator and announced Saturday morning.<\/p>\n<p>And while you are entering things &#8211; go on over to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.coldclimategardening.com\/2009\/01\/30\/botanical-interests-seed-giveaway\/\">Cold Climate Gardening<\/a>, Kathy Purdy&#8217;s blog and enter to win some seeds from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.botanicalinterests.com\/store\/shop.php\">Botanical Interests<\/a>. I entered and if I don&#8217;t win, I will be ordering my choices on my own, because now I can&#8217;t live without them.<\/p>\n<p>I have a little collection of photos by other bloggers that feature orange or yellow flowers and this one will go in there very nicely.
