I am very pleased to announce the winner of the "Find the Bug in the Brew" contest: Carolyn of For Chameleons.
Unfortunately, she responded too late and the bug, I believe a forty-legged besotted beetle of some sort, was quite inebriated by his evening in the bucket and slipped off his crabapple and drowned. His body lies somewhere at the bottom and with any luck, may be recovered in the straining of the pulp and returned to his relatives.
Carolyn will not be receiving the planned award but may still proudly proclaim her victory over no other entrants.
Hurray! Go me! Wait. Was was the prize I’m not getting? And my condolences about the bug (may he rest in peace).
The prize was a signed first edition of Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood.
Also found out it was not a bug but a button so the contest was null and void anyway.
But Thank You, Carolyn! And keep your eyes sharp for the next “Find the…” contest!
