We have had such rain the past week or so. It does get gloomy. So, today I was pleasantly surprised to take a walk this morning and feel the warm sun. As I looked up, I thought how amazing the sun was, so huge.
Then as I continued on, spring flowers are popping up.
Have a wonderful Spring filled weekend!!
Hello Fellow Bloggers, I’m assuming you missed me? Just kidding.
I normally post once a week. However, this week went by so quickly.
We’ve reached Saturday — and — HERE I AM.
Wishing you a GREAT weekend!!
Yesterday I was working, completely forgot about the SpaceX Dragon landing. For some reason, I turned the news on, just in time to see the landing. It was beautiful and exciting.
Our astronauts are home!
Welcomed by dolphins! That was AMAZING!
While I’m not Irish, it’s fun to celebrate with my Irish friends. This morning they were showing the St Patrick’s Day parade going on in Dublin. My daughter lived in Ireland for five years. She said this is indeed their biggest holiday.
Happy St Patrick’s Day! Maybe we all find a pot of gold. I do enjoy their sheep. 😉☘️🇮🇪
I was walking and happened to look up and saw these lines in the sky. For some reason, I immediately thought of Tic Tac Toe, we just need another two lines to set up the board.
Continuing along, I looked up again and saw a sheep.
How often do you look up at the sky? I admit, I don’t do it that often. I should, it’s fun!
Happy Pi Day!
Did it work? Did I catch your attention with the 6 Million readers?
I saw an article on the art of blog writing. It mentioned that it helps to use a “number” in the title. Personally, I always steer clear of posts that say, “3 Best Gluten Free Breads,” or “10 Worst TV Shows,” etc. I used to get sucked into those, then realized they were full of “fluff.” WHY, because they got the memo that adding a number to their title would get you readers/followers, so a bit boring, lots of copy cat articles.
I sold advertising for magazines years ago. We had certain issues that used the “number technique.” It did work. Our February Wedding issue focused on the 10 Best Wedding Planners, June would be the 20 Best Dentists, September focused on the 5 Best Senior Centers… You get the idea.
It helped sell advertising. Think about it, were these companies really the BEST or were they the ones willing to pay high advertising rates? This is when I realized, there are a lot of “fake” articles out there.
So, if you want to be an influencer, then you need to write in a certain way.
If, you are like me, and write for enjoyment. Then you write your post, get your coffee, sit back and see who comes. If no one comes, tweak things a bit, then see / hope your numbers soar.
Have fun writing!
Ok, I hope I don’t make too many people cringe by saying this, but every time I eat a blackberry, they remind of ants. YES, they look like a group of ants in my mind.
Blackberries are a strange fruit, so many little black balls that pop in your mouth. We had a blackberry tree where I grew up. It was glorious to pick blackberries daily and just munch on them non-stop, fingers turning purple. Of course, there was a mad dash to get to the tree first before siblings / friends ate them.
You probably won’t look at blackberries the same now.
I’m off to eat some more…
This past week has been cold, below zero temps the other day. It’s not possible to walk, so I had to find “something” to do.
Joann Fabric had a huge yarn sale. I decided, time to knit a blanket. It’s coming along. I feel a bit like a granny. Since it will be big, it might take until Fall to complete, depends on how much time I commit to it.
While knitting, I’ve been watching Top Chef on Netflix. I didn’t know that show was still on. As they race against the clock competing, it keeps me going. Keep knitting – one more row, one more row!
Right now, I have dark grey and this light blue color. I’m trying to decide, stay with those two colors only or add this purple violet color. I’m always drawn to bright colors versus earth tones.
I’m amused when I go on a train or bus and see people knitting/crocheting. It does take time, we have to use every minute to get the project done!
Do you have a winter project?
I’m a bit under the weather, it happens. Nowadays, if a friend sends a message, it’s always in a Text or Email.
Guess what though, this friend took time to send a card. It was so funny, it lifted my spirits.
So, here’s to taking time to send a greeting card to someone, I liked Becca Cahan’s humor. I’d like to see what other cards she’s made. Thoughtfulness does make a difference!
I was at Joann Fabrics recently. They have so many discounts on everything in the store. As I went through the isles, I came across these adorable storage bins. Quite a few of them. Take a look.
They are so amusing. Too bad I don’t need one, but I did like that orange fox a lot.
A few more you might enjoy.
We do need humor in our lives and walking by one of these baskets every day, would give me pause and that feeling that I should “slow down” enjoy life more.
Have a great weekend filled with humor!
