So after a morning of beautiful sunshine, ignoring all of my emails (except for yours Dave,) terrible wind, excellent chocolate at the new bakery down the street from me and a good bike ride on my favourite trail, I am going to grow up now and actually post. I had so many lovely entries that I actually had to email and poll some of my readers to help me choose a winner. So, without further ado–The winner of the blog contest and the proud new owner of a spiffy $25 gift card is
Mr. John Howell over at http://johnwhowell.com
Here is his entry:
