The Mousies have been announced. On behalf of the Ranters I thank you all for voting us Best Writing in a Garden Blog and our hearty congratulations to the other winners. Especially Carol/May Dreams with 5! Wow!

I’d add that over the last year I’ve been reading many more of the blogs than I ever read before and they all blow me away with their wit, humor, civility, and, of course, cool gardens. I have at least 20 I’d give awards to. So thanks, everybody, for making the world of garden blogging so fascinating and informative. And thanks, Colleen, for doing this at such a distracting time.

Did I say “thanks” enough? Yeah, I think so.
