Default Won 3'd place in the writing contest.

First of it isn't/wasn't 11 pounds of coffie it was 1 pound. I mistook the L in lbs for an 11. Still I got a nice medium dark African double ground sense i didn't know what kind of filter we have/use at the group home.


Last night was a blast I got 12 burlap bags for free for my garden project and got to meet some great people, including a judge who was a professional writer. I wrote some funny stuff and had a blast to celebrate I had a giant bowl of popcorn from my roommate.

Wow, great to hear that!
How was the actual contest held: did you recite your poem/story in front of the judges or you submitted it online and were notified that you won the 3-rd place?

Good job Heirloom gard. Writing is fun. Keep doing it. Have you ever thought about keeping a gardening journal?
