Taking a Break

Hello everyone.   There are no words sufficient to express my appreciation for followers, old and new.   Will you accept flowers instead?

 

As most if not all of us know, things are hectic in the United States.  Everyday, Trump has said or done something that stresses the masses.   Remember to vote. 

My yards are telling me that giving them two days of attention a week is not enough.   It’s now August, and I’m way behind. Rabbits have built themselves a condo underneath my deck.  They have a front, back, and side door that they dug out.  I don’t mind that but a neighboring cat who is left outside at night is visiting.  It either lays in wait for a rabbit, or tries to reach the bird’s nest that is by my bedroom window.  (Nosy animal neighbors.) My dog doesn’t like cats so she wakes me up all through the night to let her out to run the cat off.   My son has suggested that I install a motion light that might run the cat off if it scares him/her.

I don’t want to put food out for the cat because we have wild critters, including raccoons, and I don’t want to attract them to my yard.  It’s time I find out who owns the cat.

On the subject of blogging, blogging to me is more than just what I do on my blog.  It also means visiting the community and paying it forward as much as time allows.  When I get behind and notifications reach 300, I don’t feel a panic because I can usually catch-up on a Saturday, but now I have over 900 notifications.   In other words, I need a break from writing to catch-up, and then a break to rest up.

I was going to follow the trial of Paul Manafort, but changed my mind.  Federal courts do not allow electronic devices inside the courtrooms.  That means finding reputable news sources that are reporting on the trial.  That means running into online news sources that only allow 3 to 5 visits before they blank the scene and tell you that you’ve exhausted your number of free views and need a subscription.

This past Monday, the documentary series about the Trayvon Martin Story began.  I do plan on posting comments, (if I have any), on the same thread until that series is finished.   I don’t plan to write a new blog post for the next week or so.

If you want to share news, comment, post an opinion, or share otherwise, feel free to use this post for open discussion in the comment section below.  While having my morning coffee, I’ll check for any comments that might be in the moderation queue.
