Gone Camping (Part Deux)

Posts will likely be sporadic to non-existent for the next couple weeks. (Sunset walks, on the other hand, will be plentiful!)

First Lines From My First Blog Post of Every Month of 2021

January – “I recently heard about this site that lets you write letters to yourself at some point in the future.” February – “Shea and I are hooked on “Yellowstone” right now and a big part of that is realising how many songs on the soundtrack are already part of the “Camping Faves” playlist we […]

Music Monday – “I wasn’t meant to be then it ain’t meant to be now/I love this home but now I hate this house/Its been a hell of a year”

I posted this exact song a year ago this week – hard to believe the same sentiment applies a year later and it’s worth a repeat post of the same song. Here’s hoping I’m not starting a new blog tradition and having to post it again at the end of 2022! 🙁 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8utfXo41Qg “Hell of […]

Saturday Snap – First Shorts of the Year?

For some reason, I’ve made a point to note the first day of snow every year pretty much since I started this blog. But with beautiful +14 weather on the last day of winter, I wonder if I missed an opportunity to also record the first day I wore shorts outside each spring?

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Luther College 1991 “Midnight Breakfast” (and Happy 5000th Blog Post To Me!)

First off, it didn’t line up perfectly but earlier this week, I posted my 5000th post on this blog after nearly 14 years of daily posts from February 25, 2006 to April 30, 2020 (and fourteen years ago, I *never* would’ve guessed that my milestone 5000th post would be about my daughter, let alone my […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Blog Analytics for 2019

As so many sites/apps do at this time of year, one of my blog plug-ins also provided a “Year in Review” report for my blog traffic. Now, I should back up and repeat my standard line that I tend to think of this blog as my “acreage in the country” – far away from the […]

First Lines From My First Blog Post of Every Month of 2019

I’ve written before how this annual post where I share the first line of my first post of every month of the past year is one of my favourites of the year.  Part of the reason is how it seems completely random (I honestly don’t think about what I’m posting for the start of every […]

2019 Edition of “First Snow of the Year” – Hawksley Workman
