6-27-2019 Computer issue update

I don’t think it’s my laptop on the verge of crashing… (although it could happen) I backed up all my files just to be safe.
I thought it strange that my issues mostly happened when I was trying to blog. It finally occurred to me to try a different browser.
So, I’m pretty sure that there’s conflict between Microsoft Edge browser and WordPress.
I switched browser and am able to blog at the moment, though it’s slower going than it should be.

Wishing you all a issue-free rest of the week!

 

 


 

2018 WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge – Growth – Herbs

2018 WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge
~Growth~
Evoke the excitement of entering a new year
with a photo that shows growth

~*~

Right now it’s so cold in our region that the only thing that’s showing any growth around my home is one of my basil plants. I transplanted them from my herb bed last fall to a container to set on the window sill. I’m surprised one of them is doing so well. I haven’t had the heart to use it yet, but it’s just now finally tall enough to use. I’m going to start using a few of it’s leaves for seasoning food sometime soon.


Below is a photo I used in the WordPress Weekly Challenge last August for Textures.
The healthy growth of my herb bed evokes the excitement of the promise of a new gardening season in this new year .

 Wishing you all fun with another year
of the WordPress Weekly photo challenge!

2017 WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge – Temporary

2017 WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge
~Temporary~

“This week, show us something you appreciate
despite —or even because of — its short shelf life.”
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I appreciate snow and icicles as long as they’re temporary.
We haven’t had a major snowfall in awhile, so
I went through my photos in search of snow and ice.
These 2 photos are a couple of my favorites from 2010.

 Wishing you all fun with the WP photo challenge!

2017 WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge – Textures – Herbs

2017 WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge
~Textures~

“ We consume photos through our eyes,
but that doesn’t mean they can’t have a tactile element, too. ”There’s several textures of different varieties of herbs.
velvet soft common sage, spikey onion chives,
wispy fennel, spoon leaves of basil, candy-leaf stevia
needle-like leaves of lavender & rosemary.

and of course the herb bed itself has textures,
Soft marigold petals & fragrant fronds,
hard resin birdbath filled with cool water,
smooth cool concrete stepping stones,
coarse limestone rocks, gritty potting soil,
rough landscaping logs,

the bed surrounded by a carpet of grass

 Wishing you all fun with the WP photo challenge!
