Heh. Thanks! Welcome to the virtual garden where things hit me over the head almost every morning, and turn into blog posts.

This a.m. I was gathering leaves. As I reached to lift my leaf raker off the garage wall, the 3′ x 4′ piece of plywood my husband insistently balanced on my raker hooks fell and konked me on the head…

Hard yet pliable,
The head that was smitten
Grew but one more lump.
(or, Grew more lopsided.) ;-)

I’m a new visitor. You are bookmarked!

Cady May – Thanks for the haiku!

I don’t know. One option, of course, is to date the post from whenever the photos were taken – but then only people who read your blog through an RSS reader would see it.

I don’t have a problem with posts in the past tense, essays of remembrance. I mean, let’s say you had a backlog of photos of this summer’s drought. An overview of that, posted now, wouldn’t seem at all strange, I don’t think, if you framed it right. It’s all in the writing. If bloggers are a kind of journalist, it’s up to us whether we want to do only breaking news, or also write features and retrospectives.

cobwebby, I like that
and I wonder about outdated blogging alot, because I am always behind in posting. Perhaps a person could hold it till next year and get a jump on everyone photographing and blogging the red maple leaf? Like walmarts seasonal database?
Dave, do you give this thought, or are you always within the “sell by” date of the season because you are just that good? : )
