Blogging


The fan is on. I rest my head on a pillow that takes my shape like gently folded hands to rest upon. Forced air is twirling my hair and I feel my eye starting to drift downward. Fighting to finish the day with words from the blogging world I click one more time to a new name with a new story. Another door opens into someones life. The talent captivates me so much that my yawns disappear and my wide eyes grasp for more.

Wordless Wednesday...

Lately, I have been having dreams about bears. Then my husband sent me this....Hummmm.

This is what it's like being married to a Wildlife Biologist..... Not too long ago I was out with my husband picking up bear poop for a research project. I was getting pretty good at it too.
What we do for love.

The Weekend

I've turned blue with Avatar, strummed a guitar, had a drink and got sober with Jeff Bridges all in one weekend. I was a busy girl.

We had Sam, our part time dog, for the last couple days. Having her insures two outings a day. I really like it because my husband and I go for long walks when we have her.

The weather was wonderful. On Saturday, we went to the same beautiful park that looked like this in February...

That now looks like this...

Sam made a friend...

Wrapped up in doggy loven I sat on an ant hill and got bit...a lot on my bum. How ridiculous is that? If something is going to happen, it will happen to me. I swear if there is a bug within 50 feet it will attack me first. That goodness someone invented Cortisone. I'm an itchy mess. Go ahead laugh, it's actually pretty funny. Just be glad I didn't share photos.

(Photo from my walk with Sam on Friday... the St.Lawrence is behind me.)

The forecast is calling for snow tomorrow....come on...really? Although I'm shaking my head, inside I'm grateful for the warm weather we had on Saturday and Sunday.

Size Doesn't Matter

We're talking about blogs, so if you were expecting something else mosey along. (Smile) All week I was celebrating 500 followers of my blog. It was a lot of fun and I hope everyone enjoyed it. While I expected to do one more day of giveaways, today I've decided to focus on the four giveaways and save one for another time. Surprise giveaways are fun too!

It isn't about the size of a blog. It's about the content and I haven't been giving content lately.....
This morning I was at SITS and they asked us to leave a comment with a best post. When I had to go back for months I realized that my blog has been sucking.... I haven't been writing the way I intended. For that I am sorry! I hereby pledge (wait I need to get my quill and ink... o.k. I'm ready) to write better.

I really enjoy writing reviews and up until last week I would only write one a week...it is titled Monday To Do...Review/Giveaway. Tuesday I write my burning question. Please stop by on Tuesdays it's a lot of fun and I love to read everyone's answers. I will continue with that. Wednesday is Wordless Wednesday. The rest of the week is just "stuff". So, that what's going on in my neck of the woods.

I was lost and didn't know it, but now I'm found and ready to write.

What sort of things would you like me to write about?

Swiffer SweeperVac and Walwart $40.00 Gift Card Giveaway

The front doors opens to a beautiful spring day. The sparrows are feasting at the feeder and the robins are pecking at the ground, I want nothing more than to sit on the porch and take it all in. Looking back before heading outside I noticed the sunlight illuminating the front halls wood floor providing a stage for the now dancing dust.

Have you heard of the Swiffer Sweeper from P&G? If you thought Swiffer Sweeper Vac was good than brace your housecleaning self because they have improved it with Double Action Cleaning. You can now let the vacuum pick up the bigger stuff while the electrostatic pad trap and lock in the dust and grit. It makes cleaning easy and very satisfying. You'll have a lot more time to enjoy spring with the help of Swiffer.
