There seems to be a blogger participation plummet for whatever reasons. So many blogs I used to follow, with such interesting and useful homesteading content (sometimes humorous), have left the blogging scene. I get it for the most part. It can be time consuming, and in winter the writing content can be very limited. Things change for some as well.
I mean, we used to raise dairy goats (Lamancha), and we stopped doing that years ago, so I do understand change. Life changes constantly.
I'm experiencing the humdrum of blogging. I know spring is around the corner, but maybe like all the other blogs I used to read (and now don't post anymore), I'm sort of falling off the blogging "thing" lately as well.
Maybe I am the one who needs a new change. Although we are still undergoing home repairs, and staying busy, sometimes change is a good thing.
The rain held off, and we had a few very nice 70 degree days here. It may stay in the upper 60's today, but thunderstorms may actually roll in later. The weather causes that itch to clean up gardens, but I know I need to refrain for now. It's still too early.
Here is an update on "what I am crocheting" for the time being. I have to admit though, as the warmer days stay, I'm on hold for this blanket. If we cool back down, I'll be back to work on it some more, and in hopes to finish before the cooler days disappear for the year. The photo doesn't really show the colors very well.
That is a burgundy yarn, leftover from crocheting a cardigan, and the others are heather gray, teal, and soft white. The gray and white are also leftover project yarns. The colors remind me of a cabin. I wanted to use the other pattern, but his one has less ends to sew in.
Blogger is once again having hiccups with posting. I am having trouble with photos loading, and for the font to stay the way I type it. I have to constantly go back and fix the post.
I may also remove the "popular post" widget. I am getting some outrageous view counts on some very old posts, that is not normal. Most of my posts barely get 100 views within a few years, and some showing up in the "popular" post widget are well over that.
I am using the stats and google analytics to watch those this week. Another reason I am contemplating continuing to blog - a lot of work to maintain for all reasons.
By the way blogger "stats" is not working properly. It was working the other day, but now it is not. Anyone else having blogger issues? Also, I tried adding a jump break on a post, and it would not work either. I may try an entirely new blog theme.
