My Most Wonderful Favorite! Award

Earlier in the month, on May 20th, I was very pleasantly surprised by two of the very best bloggers I follow. They each awarded Sunflower Ranch with the Most Wonderful Favorite! Award. I was just stunned and honored to be recognized and awarded! One award from Glynis Sym or one from SquirrelQueen would have been wonderful but both of them? On the same day?? That was simply happiness times two!! And again, I say thank you so much! You are both just sweethearts!

These are the rules in accepting this award:

Deliver this award to eight bloggers who then must choose and deliver the award to eight more and include the following text into the award.

"These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers."

So, I am blending the two presentations together to represent both copies of the award, eight blogs for each of my awards plus one [for luck] for a total of seventeen! They deserve your attention and a closer look. I hope you'll find them as interesting and intriguing as I do. These bloggers reflect all sorts of view points and interests. I love to read all of them! I've enjoyed their creativity and talent -- every opinion and comment is delivered with passionate sincerity. The writing is outstanding! That's what draws me to them. I hope you will enjoy them, too! You're invited and encouraged to follow all the blogs linked in this post. You can't go wrong!

In no particular order, but all equally deserving of further attention, I proudly pass this award on to the following bloggers:
