It’s been so long since I’ve added anything here at Robin in V-a (Va = Virginia, the commonwealth of) WordPress changed everything. Probably more than once. So we’ll see how this posting goes, if I can figure things out.
Anyway, I’ve also had a few messages from “people” who want to write for me for pay, or guest post, or whatever. No. No thank you. I guess there is a trend to collab as they say, with another blogger who might be like-minded, or not, but I don’t even really know anyone’s work well enough lately to consider that option. Who does? And especially not complete strangers I don’t recognize. I think they are fake.
Is it writers block when nothing makes sense to write about? I have a list of things I should write about but I haven’t been ready. Which is odd since I must feel a little okay if I post on Facebook, right? For instance, my Dad passed away last November. We had his memorial service in May. There are things I need to write, and will, eventually. I’m coming to realize part of the process of making sense, is to write!
The fact is one of the biggest reasons I haven’t written much is my eyesight. I’ve had cataracts and know now my eyes have probably been affected for several years. I started the process to have them taken care of last November. The process was complete last Monday. I can see! But much has been discovered as a result and I’ll save that on my list of things to write about.
Whether it’s writers block, laziness, distractions of all sorts, I’m asking myself whether it’s worth keeping this little blog here on the interwebs. For now I’m saying yes. For now I’ll work on getting back into the habit of writing right after I figure out the mechanics of posting again. Maybe I’ll be inspired to upgrade a few things. Sometimes a makeover is needed. I’m getting some inspiration from people I follow on Instagram where I post a bit (but don’t have Instagram quite figured out either), so if you wonder about a more pictorial diary of what I’m doing, check me out there.
End of August 2022 Garden Check-in: A pic of my garden shed with a twirly rainbow whirlygig on the end of a flagpole sets to the left in the photo. Next to it a row of elderberry bushes has been picked clean of their berries. Two long raised beds are tumbling over with green beans bushes and tomato plants. Their stakes are topped with little clay pots for safety and cuteness. In the forefront of the pic is a planter with Swiss Chard standing at attention. A blue sky with wispy clouds is overhead. A green lawn with a background of trees is beyond the back fence. Photo: Robin M Arnold.
