My 6th Blogging Anniversary !
WordPress reminded me yesterday that I created my blog site six years ago. My first post was on August 1, 2012 and was an account, illustrated with photos, of why I live in the woods. I blog because I love to and never thought I would have any blog followers outside of a small circle of…
My 5th Blogging Anniversary !
WordPress reminded me yesterday that I created my blog site five years ago. My first post was the following day (on August 1, 2012) and was an account, illustrated with photos, of why I live in the woods. Coincidentally, I received notice from Twitter today that someone just retweeted that post! I blog because I love…
Good times with family
My husband had a heart procedure done three weeks ago, and family members have come from far and wide to visit. Daughter #1 drove up from Florida to be here for the procedure and left this morning. Son and his wife flew in from 3,000 miles away and stayed a week, leaving yesterday. Daughter #2,…

A little Fall color
We’re in a severe drought, and many of the trees that normally have beautiful leaves in the Fall are rather dull this year. Others are just turning brown, and the leaves are dropping. But here’s a little brilliant color… (click on each photo to see in a larger format) I can’t believe it’s been two…
My 4th Blogging Anniversary !
I created my blog site four years ago, and my first post was a written account, illustrated with photos, of why I live in the woods. As time passed, the blog began more and more to feature photography with short written explanations. I blog because I love to, and I never thought I would have any blog…
I’d Rather Be Happy!
I was thinking today about how wonderful the WordPress community has been during my almost-four-years of blogging. When there are so many negative sentiments, even hateful and bigoted sentiments, expressed on social media today it is refreshing to read positive, uplifting, and beautiful posts by the bloggers I follow. And readers who comment on my posts are always complimentary,…
