The musings and lamentings blog of the trials and triumphs of a multi-tasking freelancing retired woman… a writer, photographer who has been a gardener, a farmer, a rancher, a nature lover, an animal lover, a designer and married.

The Journey
And so it begins. My Journey on Word Press. There is nothing like having to learn how to do a new blog! Just when you think you have it ready to go, the computer crashes before I get a chance to save the draft!
Crash
Yesterday I did, I started my site here and then it happened. The screen went black and poof this morning when I got back online it was gone! Crash! I was miffed, to say the least, and it took me all day to get my wits about me and to begin starting over.
Do-Over
Today, I started over. Maybe in the long run of things it was better it disappeared and I got the chance for a do-over as I had a terrible time with the formatting and I could not seem to get it together. The only bad part at the moment is my lost content.. well that is gone forever and I will have to draw that anew! Those pages are retitled now and waiting in the wings for me to have at them.
Junk Happens
I think things like that happen to the best of us. We get it all online and then “junk” just happens. We can kick and scream when it does but the only thing that you can do is to start again. Note to self… refresh regularly and hit that save the draft often! So here we go, off and running like a crazy woodpecker on an alphabet keyboard. Kick back, grab a cuppa and come join me. I will not candy coat it, it is not starting pretty and may not always get pretty!

Well, I have been at this blog for a month… it has had it’s frustrations and triumphs. Things are running smooth on one hand and not so on the other. I seem to have a little software conflict going on. But hopefully I will get that rectified soon enough. Lots of chapters and still building on, little by little. Had a few people pop in, that is awesome and hope they will visit again.

3-29-19 – If you are tagging along you will notice that this journal has grown tremendously in the last month. There are many subjects and many chapters. Each chapter is updated as my gardening moves along. Some places you might only find a small writeup on the chapter, others are pretty long. I have a very extensive garden.

I do receive royalties from my art. However, what you may see in photos here are not necessarily an endorsement of a product, it is just what I happen to be using and so I get no monetary satisfaction in promoting those products if any are show with a brand name. (As in many of the types of seed I use.)
My HOMESPUN products are available for barter so please use the contact tab at the top of the pages!
Above all,
As ever enjoy!

5-11-20 – It has been so cold though lately that I barely have my winter crops in. Today I am planting cabbages in the garden and trying to get some seed sown. I garden intensely to which is my mark in life. Normally around April 19th is my time to get annuals in the garden or at least make a start as that has been our go-to on the frost date, but boy, not this year. Mothers Day weekend marked a deep frost at 29F. I spend my days more in journaling lately if anything just to keep warm!

Well it is 2024. I have winter sown some Sweet William, cabbage and one other. I ran out of jugs! LOL. I hope to be back at this blog to update. I have a problem though is that I cannot post any more photos here so there will be a link soon to click on.
Hope the cold has not destroyed your thoughts of gardening. It has been a mild winter.
I saw the first robin of the year. And our daffodils are poking through the cold cold soil. Cannot wait for their beautiful flowers!
