MOMMA GOOSE STRIKES A LOW PROFILE ON HER NEST THIS MORNING AS POPPA GOOSE QUICKLY FLIES IN TO PROTECT HER FROM THE PAPARAZZI WALKING BY…………..
Well, try as I may tonight I just could not get myself interested in putting my Blog hat on. My creative side was dead in the water & my usual every day writing enthusiasm was nowhere to be found. I’ll just blame it on another poor night’s sleep & our cold gray damp weather & hope for a brighter creatively productive day tomorrow.
Did manage to get one thing out of the way this morning though. Kelly came back from Cambridge the other day with some new material for the seats on our kitchen chairs. With scissors in hand & using the old chair seat material as a pattern, Kelly cut out the first seat cover & I went to work with my staple gun & re-covered the wood based seat. Spurred on by my stapling success, I went on to cut out the other 3 seat covers & reupholstered the rest of the chair seats. Turned out really well if I must say so myself. Even managed to get the seats screwed back on the chairs right side up….now fancy that:))
Happy to say I have had no side effects from the pills I was given for my leg pain last week. Instructions are to double them this week so we’ll see what happens.
Couple new Blog Followers today. SAM LIVINGSTON describes himself as an old man who likes to eat & hike & MARTYYOUNG562 rounds out our Blog Followers list at an even 500. Thanks for dropping by & brightening up my gloomy day folks, much appreciated:))

Posting daily can leave you high and dry occasionally and nothing wrong with that. Tomorrow will bring sunshine and new inspiration.
ReplyDeleteYour blog is still enjoyable even though you say nothing is exciting. Its like reading a good book.:)
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand you made one mistake...not showing us the chairs you guys did. Now I have to wonder what they look like LOL or was that your plan.
Your photos are excellent as always. I especially love the tulip!!
ReplyDeleteI agree, let's see the finished chairs!
Well, it's better to have nothing to say and say it, than to have nothing to say, say it, and accidentally delete it. :)
ReplyDeleteAs much as I enjoy your daily blog I could understand if you just felt like missing a day here and there. I enjoy blogging but if I had to do it daily I would probably end up in a straight-jacket.
ReplyDeleteGive yourself a break now and then. Us faithful readers will still be here waiting for your beautiful pictures and wonderful words of wisdom.
Sit down, have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and watch Family Guy marathon!
Peanut butter and honey sandwich will brighten a gloomy day in my books!!..glad to hear the chairs turned out!!..now we all want to see the proof!!
ReplyDeleteYet another vote for great chair reupholstery pictures and the freedom to NOT blog every day.

Great pics as always Al. Now you need to post a pic of the newly upholstery chairs.
ReplyDeleteBusy Busy Busy You take great nature pic's and recover 4 chairs and have to accept the fact 500 people are glued to you every post.
ReplyDeleteToday I discovered I still can't save changes I make to my bad pic's on Picasa 3. I could never fill your shoes. Hope those pills do the trick.
Everybody has an off day once in a while. Nothing to fret about. Still sounds like you were busy.
ReplyDeleteI loved the Mama Goose picture. And you have that knack to make even a blog about not being able to blog interesting.
ReplyDeleteI know the feelin,,,,I sure do!!!
ReplyDeleteThe lighting on the tulip is stunning. Great shot. Hope tomorrow brings sunshine and renewed energy.
ReplyDeleteDo you have to be busy and inspired every day.
ReplyDeleteYep, show us the chairs.
ReplyDeletedont feel like writing anything on the blog...ok....just give us a bunch of your fabulous pics. they speak for themselves.
You got a spam up there. I got one yesterday. Which [I knew what they were saying....not that it really matters.
ReplyDeleteBlogging every day can be slightly addicting, and you hate to miss a day because you then feel out of sync and wonder "Why not skip 2 days?"
ReplyDeleteI may have missed it, but did the doctors say why you were having pain in your leg? Are they just treating the pain, but the cause as well?
No photo of the chairs???
ReplyDeleteIt's always a wonderful blog, Al, and an inspiration to the rest of us when we don't have anything to say! Pad it with your beautiful photos and consider it done! Short and sweet and to the point! :-)
ReplyDeletePS. forgot to say congrats on 500 followers, wowee! Just goes to show, that even when you don't feel like you have much to say, there's plenty of people who still like checkin' in with you!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure my comment was accepted so I may be repeating myselt.
ReplyDeleteYou'll never know how you inspire people with your words and beautiful photography. I don't feel that my day is complete unless I read your blog.
As you may notice, I have gone down to 2 blogs a week..It's just too darn nice out to sit and type every day..Plus, I have been heavy into genealogy stuff...Only blog when you feel inspired...it's working for me and I no longer feel pressured to do it every day..just sayin'.
ReplyDeleteI just want to say, as your newest follower, I very carefully waited until just the right time so I could be number 500. I began reading your blog last July at the suggestion of a good friend and It is one of the things that makes getting up in the morning so enjoyable. I can't wait to read about your adventures - even if it is simply that you aren't having a creative thought process. You write so well, as one of your earlier commenters said, it is like reading a good book. It makes me feel warm and snuggly. Than you for sharing your life and travels with us.
ReplyDeleteBaaaaa! I agree about not seeing the chairs. Nosy noses want to see. Maybe a picture when you are feeling better?
ReplyDeleteYou will have to share pictures of the chairs when you are finished!!
ReplyDeleteAnd taking a day off from blogging every now and then would not be a sin you know!! :) **Even though we would all miss you!!
