i'm a winner.



I came home from work on Friday to find this sign in my yard. The Old Hickory Village Neighborhood Association awarded me Home & Yard of the Month! How about THAT?! I also found an Old Hickory Village mug tucked away on my porch.

Apparently, someone nominated me. Then I suppose the committee cruised by to check it out. They must have driven by on a day when I had picked up the dog toys that are usually strewn across the yard.

Now I need to mow & edge to keep up with the sign.

hey laura, congrats! i'm glad you have such an award-winning yard. but mostly i'm glad you won an award so coveted by cole, who will never win such an award because his taste in yards is way too pedestrian for awards committees.
