I'll have to admit, the world of<BR/>blogging, which for me started last February, has caused me to be <BR/>more productive than I've been in quite some time. It has resurrected <BR/>my artistic side, spurred me to research, to dust off some of my <BR/>beloved poetry and even document some of my favorite dishes and <BR/>films. I surprised myself by picking up my digital camera and actually <BR/>learned how to use it!'<BR/><BR/>And we are the fortunate ones at the receiving end, dear willow.

Being a resident of CT everything is blossoming at that time and the temperature is pleasant. Then a would rate Fall as second, because we have the crisp air and brightly colorful foliage. Summer is my least favorite, because I don't like the heat, bugs and humidity. <BR/><BR/>Once again I must say I greatly enjoy reading your blog.Dakota Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01100285210259716346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-73879863012751345622009-01-02T09:35:00.000-05:002009-01-02T09:35:00.000-05:00Posts like this make me think we are twins who wer...Posts like this make me think we are twins who were separated at birth.High Desert Divahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06612606483622054573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-2430961299130968402009-01-02T08:55:00.000-05:002009-01-02T08:55:00.000-05:00I know what you mean, I started my blog in April l...I know what you mean, I started my blog in April last year and WOW what a wonderful world of like minds I have stumbled upon...funny how fate works...I'm alive again...with more purpose than ever imagined.A Wild Thinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11083369862963892366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-70666375114543982942009-01-02T08:34:00.000-05:002009-01-02T08:34:00.000-05:00willow, I had no idea you'd only begun your blog l...willow, I had no idea you'd only begun your blog last year- to have captured so many people's imaginations is fantastic.

That event alone must have generated the first major upsurge of blogs and posts and comments crackled with news and views well into the conflict. <BR/><BR/>Relatively few of my early compadres are still blogging, but I find that the stimulus of keeping the pages filled and the lines open continues to inspire and provoke the creative impulse. And it keeps me in touch with many 'kind, creative and inspiring people' whom I now regard as friends.<BR/><BR/>So, Willow, may 2009 keep you engaged and may you still be rejoicing in the benefits six years on!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-63033247432773867622009-01-01T23:19:00.000-05:002009-01-01T23:19:00.000-05:00I love this post and didn't actually realise you h...I love this post and didn't actually realise you have only been blogging since Feb!!
