The winners for my two contests have been named. Winning the audiobook CD and signed paperback of The Awkward Truth contest (exclusive to my newsletter subscribers) was Hyojong So. She chose Requiem as the audiobook.
Winner of the Sam and Lee’s Wild Things Back Yard calendar, as judged by Sam, was Heather Dodge.
Sam wants to pay special tribute to five runners up. First runner-up was KJ, who made Sam laugh a lot. The others, in no particular order, were Katherine Dynes, Joanne Seador, Anita Hallam, and Clancy Topp.
Sam will be sending the runners up some “feedback” sometime before the end of the year. I’m not sure whether it’s something to treasure or fear! But you have been warned.
On that note, she reserves the right to send some non-runners up feedback too. *cue nervous laugh* 

Thanks to everyone who entered. There were 106 entries in the newsletter CD contest; 92 in the calendar contest.

I share world views I find online with her and your garden views are some of her favorites. Wishing you a fantastic summer. We love your garden from our crazy part of this world. I personally love your work Lee Winter.
