I still have treasures to share, but I'm feeling very unprepared this morning. So instead of posting a hasty treasure, I plan to read blogs for a few days. I also need to check my computer, it keeps crashing a lot. Not good, since I have no funds for a new one, not even for repairs.
I'm on Day 2 of my Building Up My Strength and Energy project. I got up early, went outside and trimmed some weeds that hubby missed with the weed whacker. Then I trimmed some branches off my dead tree and some of those growths that pop up every spring on my other tree, forget what they are called now.
This morning, I printed a list of my followers. The list just shows the name of each follower, it does not provide any links. I would like to get a handle on that so I know who is who. This may not be the purpose of the Following feature, I mean what to those of you who have over 1,000 followers do?
My blog needs some work too, I think. We'll see. Anyhow, thanks for all your well wishes for my back. And for all the information, including the scary parts. Even though my osteoporosis is not that serious yet, I need to take it very seriously. And your comments helped me understand that. I love the support I get from you guys. Thank you so very much.
hope you can clean out your computer stuff to help it run better. definitely clear out your browsing history/cache/cookies, etc. and run scandisk and defrag. good luck!
ReplyDeleteSounds lovely there....we could use some of your warmth:)
ReplyDeleteI am lost in trying to follow and read every day. It think I need a good week or two just to catch up.....but spring and summer take me out so much more now.
have a wonderful day and week in your canyon!!
I wish I could spend more time reading blogs ~ but I do try to catch up when I can ~ hope your back is feeling better ~ and you can clean up your computer ~ Ally x
ReplyDeleteYou are such a caring soul, thank you for all your efforts in getting to know your readers. Looks like you've been productive too!
ReplyDeleteI think we all get WAY behind in reading blogs..I nearly passed out when my Reader informed me there were 58 new posts!
ReplyDeletePlease take very good care..you've got a lot going on!
so glad you are feeling well enough to get outside even if it is for your never ending work load. Must be laundry day because I stripped the beds and washed them too... didn't hang them out to dry though. When you get a chance check Face Book and see the photos of my remodeled Media Cabinet... that's our latest completed project.. of course Chuck did more of the work. But pleased with how it turned out. I've added blue and yellow pottery to the shelves.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, peaceful photos. I hope your mind is peaceful, too--no WHAMS! That has a lot to do with getting better. Kram----Fran
ReplyDeleteAhhh, tempermental computers! Suggestion - go to the bottom left, near Start and type in "clean manager." The Geek Squad recommended this. Also, when I switched to Kaspersky Pure, the security came with this dynamite clean/update feature.
ReplyDeleteHi Inger, i think you are referring to 'suckers' that grow out of the trees.....at least that's what we call them. I noticed some on our chestnut and linden trees.....and off they come, if left they could zap a lot of energy from the top of tree.
ReplyDeleteThe quiet life you have is very nice. I LOVE hanging out clothes on a line.....always have since I was a kid. Very soothing thing to do eh? Do you put things in order like all towels together etc, or randomly hang things out?
Hi Inger! I don't often comment, but I read your blog every day. Your life in the desert is peaceful and that in itself is healing, if you don't work too hard, LOL. Hanging out clothes on the line is one of the most rewarding of all chores. Regarding followers...have you ever noticed if you lose followers? Every once in a while, I'll notice my follower numbers is down by one! Hmmm, like losing friends, LOL
ReplyDeleteInger, thank goodness you are taking care of yourself FIRST, then everything else (blog, computer, yard work) because I'm feeling a little overwhelmed myself of late...especially since we began looking for homes...I just can't get to blogging and keeping this place up and the yard...well you know! ,,:)JP
ReplyDeleteI would love to just sit in that chair beneath the tree and feel the peace. Hope you're having a beautiful day, Inger.
ReplyDeleteDo take care of yourself and that computer! I just sent my computer off for repair and am using a very old unit I had been letting my kids use for games. Terrible!
ReplyDeleteI haven't hung clothes out for years... and I really did enjoy it. I also love the smell of line-dried items - especially my sheets. I think I'll see about putting up a line at my new house - thanks for reminding me of the simple pleasures of life!
ReplyDeleteOh, I do hope you have another chair, because I want to sit out there with Bobbi!
ReplyDeleteI always feel way behind on my blog reading & posting! It can be a bit overwhelming :) I think I need to just sit back a read for a few days too :D
ReplyDeleteI could spend all day reading blogs..it is just so relaxing to me...which is part of the "problem"...too relaxing...nothing else gets done. But sometimes I say to myself "Who cares"?..lol..What if the hokey pokey is really what it is all about?
ReplyDeleteI used to keep track of my followers but I stopped around 100. Now I just follow new followers, and then try to comment back for anyone who comments on mine. It's working for now!
ReplyDeletei hope your computer lasts for a good long time. i envy your simple life, although mine is getting simpler as time goes on. have a great week!
ReplyDeleteWhile I clean the house, my Gordon cleans the computers. It is a fair trade, don't you agree?
ReplyDeleteI am glad to hear that you are taking care of yourself and that you even have a plan on getting healthy. I admire that.
And I understand the feeling of confusion with regards to followers and their names/facts/stories.
I do not have half of your followers and, sometimes, I have to stop and think twice to bring back the facts about some of mine. I care for them a lot, and do not want to be rude to them. Ever!
Love ya!
Inger,
ReplyDeleteYour photos look so peaceful on a hot summer day. I've never been in your neck of the woods so I can't imagine how your weather feels. Hope you have regained your health. On your pictures you look beautiful, so strong and vital. I've met so many people who I consider real friends and wouldn't it be nice if we could all live close enough so we could sit in the fresh air and have a cuppa? My very best wishes to you.

Looks like another peaceful day in the country:) There are definitely aspects of the simple, country life that I miss... Sending you lots of healing energy for all your ailments! Much Love, Rach & critters
ReplyDeleteInger, you did post about treasure - your blog.
ReplyDeleteYou have followers who care about you... numbers don't matter. And I think that people in blogland are pretty forgiving in general. I mean... you can't possibly keep up with everyone every day. That's one thing I like about blogging... it's generally stress-free. When there is pressure involved, I tend to pull away. I just can't add pressure to my already pressureful life. :) You're such a caring person and I think everyone feels that from you. I hope your osteo stays in the background for as long as possible, and that you can continue enjoying your active life. xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteI don't dare hang clothes out, too many birds around here. Though, it's one of my Mom's sayings that I remember "Gotta go out and take down the clothes before the birds poop on them."
ReplyDeleteA little word of warning about osteoporosis meds. A man I know from one of the horse blogs I frequent (brilliant mind) warned that they do build bone, but that the bone that they build often is not "good" bone. It can be more porous and not as strong. He said that a couple of years before the problem of leg bones breaking suddenly hit the headlines.
I wish I knew more about it, and could tell you what natural means to use, but I really haven't studied up on it. Might be worth some research, though.
Hi Inger .. I hope you continue to improve .. get the machine sorted out and enjoy life outside - the tree suckers definitely need to come off .. and Kitty's 'Clean Manager' is something I hadn't heard of .. must check it out.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the weekend .. and love the pictures .. Hilary
Jims right - they are called "suckers" and yes, they need to go as they suck the life out of the main stem of the tree!
ReplyDeleteI love your early morning photos - they put us there right along side of you...
