It Has Been 3 Years!

When I started blogging 3 years ago, I didn't have any idea how to blog, or take pictures. I would have one of my kids who was walking by or my husband go out in the garden to take pictures for me. This is my grandson out in the garden and now he is going to start school. Time goes by too fast.

This was my very first post.

Hot July


It is really hot today. Hotter than a firecracker. The chickens are just standing out with their wings out on either side and the baby chicks just stand around panting.
Oh July!



I was so scared when I wrote this, when I hit publish, I promptly turned off my computer and ran away. All the thoughts and fears I had never happened. Instead it has been 3 years of meeting new friends. Learning new things. Entering a world where as far as I can tell, people are nice and normal and not at all like you see on the nightly news. Just normal people who love their families, who work hard who love their country and who are willing to share even the shirt off of their back. It has been a time of wonderful blessing for me.

I am for one very thankful that I did hit that button to publish.

All of it has been a very nice adventure. I have written piffle and have written down stories of my life. I am thankful to be able to share them, because my kids do get that glazed look in their eyes when I start in so it is nice to have some place else to share.

Some things haven't worked out like having bees. I learned lots and lots and having the honey that second year was very nice. But I don't think I will ever be a bee keeper again. So I have to say sometimes things work out and sometimes they don't. I don't even complain now when I have to pay so much money for honey. After being stung every time I walked by and chased every single morning. Bee Keepers earn their money and I am happy to pay it.

So thank you for reading me and visiting and for just being my friend. I am still thinking about a give away. I am a very slow thinker. If you want to know the truth. My husband had the idea to write a blog. I didn't I thought he was going to write and take pictures and all of that. I wasn't going to live out-loud in a public place. I was going to watch him and well, something happened. He got too busy with work and I just couldn't stand to see the poor blog sit idle so I had to jump in and do it.
So now you know, and the rest is history.

I am so glad you pushed the publish button..the picture of your grandson in the garden is precious..yes time flies

I am trying to catch up with your post this week...I know I missed a couple and when I miss them I miss out!

I agree with being willing to pay for somethings...like honey, somethings aren't worth the effort

Thanks for sharing the history behind your blog
