My 10th blogging anniversary

WordPress recently reminded me that I created my blog site 10 years ago, and I cannot believe I have been blogging for that long! My first post was on August 1, 2012 and was an account of Why I Live In The Woods. Today I have 1260 WordPress followers and additional followers by email and on social…

Still here, just not as often

I’m still here, but sometimes blogging takes a back seat. Almost every day I make the hour drive to my father’s house. He is in hospice care at home, and I want to be there to help take care of him or just to sit and talk. His conversations often don’t make much sense, but…

My 9th blogging anniversary

WordPress recently reminded me that I created my blog site nine years ago. My first post was on August 1, 2012 and was an account, illustrated with photos, of why I live in the woods. Today I have 1191 WordPress followers and additional followers by email and on social media, and I have had almost 114,000 views….

Trying to get back

Since the pandemic started, I’ve noticed that I haven’t blogged as frequently. And since my husband passed away two months ago, I really haven’t felt like blogging at all. But I’m trying to get back because blogging has been a creative outlet for me for several years now, and I don’t want to let it…

Away for the holidays

The holidays and other matters have kept me away from blogging for a while, but I will return soon. I haven’t even been taking photographs, but I did get a nice one early one morning about two weeks ago… Happy New Year, everyone!

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,…

Trying to get back

I’ve been away and have missed blogging and reading the posts of the bloggers I follow.  It’s been over 3 weeks since my last post when I asked for prayers and good thoughts because my husband had just suffered a major stroke. He is back home now after being hospitalized and treated by neurologists, gastroenterologists,…
