For most of the day yesterday the race for our new Stream of Consciousness Saturday badge was a close one. When I posted last night’s reminder, Willow’s “Wildflowers,” JoAnna’s “Rocks and Water,” and John’s “Digital Sky” were neck in neck for the lead. Trailing not far behind were Helen’s “Fast-Moving Stream,” Deborah’s “Firework Fantasy,” Dale’s “Thoughts,” and “ KG’s “Long and Winding Road” in that order.
Then I posted my reminder to vote and one badge took off! Though most of the other badges gained votes, the winner became clear. By a landslide, with 38% of the votes, the winner is…
Oh wait. I should take a moment to honour our outgoing badge. Thank you for serving us so well for the past year. And here’s hoping our friend “Hope Floats” returns to WordPress soon! We miss you!
So now, without further ado…
except for a drum roll…
of course…
our new SoCS badge is brought to you by…
…
Congratulations, John!
The two runners up were JoAnna with 22% of the votes and Willow with 16%.
Thanks so much to all our lovely contestants for your amazing efforts. And congratulations to all for entering!

I’ve been participating in Stream of Consciousness Saturday almost every week for more than a year now. So although I couldn’t see these entries, I figured I should vote too. The names were intriguing.

Congratulations.
All these entries sounded so great. Of course, this is coming from someone who can’t see them. I did figure though, that I’ve been participating in Stream of Consciousness long enough, but I thought I should vote too. All I had to go by where the names. That was enough. I was intrigued.
