Hello Again

I got bogged down last month,

trying to come up with a list a day.

It felt too burdensome,

so I stopped.

No one seemed to notice.

Definitely no one minded.

I really did intend to blog more often

and more regularly this year.

A monthly theme seemed like the ticket

to generate daily posts,

but after a month or three,

the wind seemed to leak out of my sails.

I've gone back over my posts

since the beginning of the year,

a total of 122 posts,

and one thing I notice is

that my words and images seem to

add up to a big fat nothing.

They're seen by a few people,

but don't evoke a comment.

Certainly no conversations

and blog friendships

like in earlier times.

Is blogging just passé?

Deader than a door nail?

Have sites like Instagram and Facebook

swallowed up the appetite for connection-by-blog?

Are my efforts

just 

a

waste

of 

time?

So it would seem.

I'll leave you with this, apropos of nothing,

except the images are lovely to look at.

I had fun with my camera yesterday

on a field trip to Sequim, Washington

to preview the Lavender Festival

that starts today and runs through the weekend.

I wanted to see the sites

without huge crowds

and I wasn't disappointed.

May you have a day full of joy and wonder.
