Better Weather Day Finally! Blogger Question!!

 I've been busy with errands, dental appt. and what not.  I finally got an appointment booked with Daughter E for a hair cut soon.   I cleaned out the refrigerator, and got towels washed.

What I need to be doing is locating a new resource for straw.  It's been added to the to-do list.  


There is light at the end of the purge/extreme clean tunnel.  Everything that has made the "cut" to go back into the closet, or upstairs, or elsewhere, is being put in containers with lids, and labeled.  Luckily, I'm emptying totes, so I haven't had to buy new ones.

One bin (storage bin with no lid) contained new flour sack towels.  The bin has been given away to one of the kids, and the towels washed and dried.  I found 17 towels (two sizes) and 6 cloth napkins.  When a certain store put them on clearance, I went to all the stores in the area and stocked up on them.

Back in 2014 I cleaned and found the napkins and embroidered cute camping designs on them.  So cute, that we can't get ourselves to use them in the camper.  Seriously.  We take them every year, and every year we use paper towels.  You can see the designs on this blogpost.

Anyway, that pile is all folded up, and awaiting a container.  I keep them on hand to embroider for gift giving and for ourselves, but I am putting a few in the kitchen drawer (un-embroidered), as I use them often, and I have no time to fancy them up right now.  The cloth napkins will be donated.


I'm trying to be smarter on baking/cooking days.  I whipped up a pound of bacon at once.  We have some for eggs and bacon sandwiches, and for a dinner recipe.


My question - yesterday I replied to a comment and it normally puts my comment right through and onto the post with my photo of our first rooster.  It did not this time.  I had to click on it to approve it and my photo is gone.  

I then did a "test" comment and it went right on the post like normal.  Anyone else having weird things going on with your settings on your blog?

I don't think blogger is doing a good job at keeping up with us. People are not commenting alot there is many hoops to jump through, and annonymous comments are not accepted by alot of blogs, and most of the ones I get are actually people who do follow and just work around the entire comment mess.
Faith, it is just frustrating. I wish they would leave things as there were before all their changes. I don't like the fact we have to change the font after every photo we load too. Now I am getting warnings that my blog may have bad content. Sheesh.

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger. 

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
