Legends of Western Cinema Week 2021 // Kick-Off & Link-Up Spot

Well, boy howdy y'all.

So overnight we were woken up by stale smoke drifting in and scouting round in the dark we discovered the orange glow on the horizon. Turns out it's from a big fire a county away, but still, it added some overnight drama. This morning the smoke's higher up and we have a creamy pinky sky, so that's lovely. 

And! Around here it's also currently one of my favoritest times of the year, Legends of Western Cinema Week which I'm co-hosting once again with Rachel of Hamlette's Soliloquy and Olivia of Meanwhile in Rivendell. So welcome!

We have some fun posts (including games and giveaways) planned so be sure to check back on all three blogs throughout the week and we'd love to have you join in with any movie reviews, character study posts, general western enthusiasm, etc.

Below you'll also find the party tag, which you can copy and fill out on your own blog at your leisure.

After you post anything, be sure to pop your links in the widget here (or in the same thing-y on Rachel or Olivia's posts) so we can all enjoy. Also be sure to grab one of our fine party buttons and link back to one of our three blogs somewhere in your post so as many people as possible get a chance to join in the fun. 

And.... that's it. Can't wait to see what y'all come up with! ;)

    1. Olivia,
      Yes, it's quite a few miles from us, but we're getting the towering smoke cloud on the horizon. So yeah, pretty dramatic to look at.

      And yay, likewise! <3 Also, thank you. I'm really excited about it too. XD 🌿

  3. I did the tag answers, and I hope to do at least one other post this week, and I was wondering if there is a limit on posts?

  5. It's a bad year for fires. So, so dry. Our plans to visit Jackson Hole (to see a Shane filming site or two) got derailed last week because there were fires up there that were obscuring the view of the Tetons, and since that was our other reason for going up there... we skipped it and went to Cody instead. And saw a brush fire on the way back, plus evidence of another one. Yikes!

I'd love to hear your thoughts and look forward to further confabulation. Please just be courteous to one and all. Oh, and I love thoughts on old posts, so comment away!

(Also of late -- what with time being finite, and Life Happening + managing multiple blogs and computer issues and all that -- I sometimes have to alternate between creating new content and replying to comments, but rest assured I'm thrilled to hear from each and every one of you and always hope to reply thoughtfully in full ASAP. <3)
