I intended to post a potato salad recipe today, but maybe I'll do that later this week. Instead, I'm participating this week in the Liebster Award. Groundwell Farm nominated me for this award and I like the idea, which is to thank the blogger who nominated you, answer the questions they pose and pose questions to a few bloggers (with hundreds rather than thousands of followers) who I nominate.

I'm thrilled that Groundwell nominated me. It's wonderful to be recognized by a blog that supports sustainability, something I've been working creatively to live. So thank you Groundwell for your good work and your recognition.

Now, to your questions:

1. What do you think about sheep?
Hmm. I'll be thinking about that one all evening because I haven't thought of sheep since I heard some in a barn and went to see them. They weren't interested in me; I didn't have food.

2. Identify your most unloved possession.  How did you acquire this thing?
A clock that hangs in our living room; it was a gift.

3. Why did you think you needed it?
 Because my husband likes it.

4. How did it disappoint you?
It makes me think of deer hunters and I know there are too many deer here, but I hate to think of them being killed.
 
5. What is your favorite gardening tool?
My small, hand hoe.

6. What got you started blogging?
I wanted to be accountable to myself as I worked to live from my garden.

7. What is the best way to build community?
Listen to one anothers stories.

8. When was the last time you grew something and produced a yield?
I've been doing it all summer.

9. Did you save seeds from your yield?
I saved my spring spinach seeds and planted them for fall.

10. The last time you entered the wilderness, what brought you there?
A desire for a peaceful place to walk.

Now, for the blogs I want to nominate:

Friends Drift Inn

Savoring Kentucky

Simply Nutritious

Now bloggers, for your questions:

1. What's the title of the last book you read?

2. What are you looking forward to this fall?

3. What's your favorite kitchen tool?

4. What's your favorite kitchen ingredient?

5. What have you never grown that you would like to try to grow?

6. Where did you go on your favorite vacation?

7. How do you stay optimistic when you're having a hard time of it?

8. What do you like about the changing in seasons?

9. If you could be a guest on a radio or television show, which show would you choose?
