Wow. Four hundred and thirty comments. That's a whole lot! I usually try to respond to all comments. I threw in the towel on this one.
Now on to the task at hand...selecting the winner. The random number thingy selected lucky number...drum roll, please...191. After a lot of printing comments and counting (There must be an easier way to do this???), I determined that Alissa wrote comment number 191. So, Alissa, come on down. You are the next contestant on the Price is...Oops. Wrong contest. Ms. Alissa, if you will email me your mailing address, I will get the Ginger Blossom YUM in the mail for you.
And just so I don't write a post without a picture, here is a peek at what I saw when I hiked the hill behind my house.
There is a whole lot of pretty up there. I love the fact that these little guys don't bloom to impress people, the other critters they live with, or the other plants that are flowering beside them. They bloom because that's what they were created to do. I want to bloom like that.
Happy Day,
Cassie
P.S. Just in case you were wondering, the cat won the what-kind-of-animal-would-you-be contest. I think that's a pretty fine choice. My favorite answer, though, was a "liger 'cause that's practically my favorite kind of animal." Thanks for the laugh, Colette.
Congratulations to the lucky winner.

I love flowers that bloom just because. They are lucky if one person sees them. I'm glad you were there to appreciate their beauty. Isn't that Indian Paintbrush?
