and back to the present - TODAY IS MY 2ND BLOGIVERSARY!

CHECK OUT WHAT I WAS BLOGGING ABOUT LAST YEAR AND 2 YEARS AGO...

I have shared a bunch about me and my life, as well as learned a bunch about myself. Many people don't completely understand what blogging is all about...but for me, it's been a way to validate, communicate and keep track of seasonal happenings where I live. I have found each year to be different and I love to see how my thinking and psyche grew (or didn't) and what I learned. Time flies - and it is good to review my thoughts and accomplishments. The other 'plus' is making new friends; having others comment on my writing or my art or my photos. This post finds me out and about - time for some resource photography. I will return next week.

I promise not to eat them all and save one for you!
