Friday Farm Day

Image
Alright Alright Alright, it's that time of the week again. Time to have a gander at what the garden is up to. And Away We Go... Starting in the front yard, guess who has bananas? Oh yes, one of my banana plants in the front has flowered and is starting to bear fruit! The Star Jasmine is Flowering and smelling glorious! Here's another volunteer sunflower popping up The rose is still blooming Moving to the backyard, have you ever seen an onion bloom? Speaking of blooming, I allowed this brassica that I'm still not sure what it is to go to seed as well. Since so many people spray for "weeds", this leaves the bird population often starving. When I can, I like to allow things to go to seed to feed the wild bird population. It's the least I can do considering all these murder mittens (cats) I have running around. Next, you'll see the carrots are doing well. I've thinned them once. I will probably have to do so again. The sunflowers I planted in the back to b...

Friday Farm Day Belated

  Hi all, we had a rainy Friday and Saturday here in Floriduh, so I’m slow getting this week’s post out. Upon leaving AFF, I’ve made the decision to stop numbering these. We all know we’re here to see the garden, it makes no difference how long this tradition has been going on. Without further ado… Starting in the front yard, the mulberry is loaded and I mean loaded with berries Next up, sadly the first volunteer sunflowers of the year are not doing well. I think the ducks had a go at them, and they look diseased. But, have no fear new volunteer sunflowers are already popping up to take their place. Like this one And these The pentas are looking lovely as ever Just look how gorgeous the white and red ones look against one another Moving to the backyard, the Blackberries are coming in As well as blooming The beefsteak tomato plant has set its first fruit of the season The baby pineapple survived its first transplant And my potatoes are showing themselves, like the one in this bin An...

Friday Farm Day Postponed Due to Rain

 Well, folks, it's raining here, and according to the forecast, it will be all day. So, Friday Farm Day will have to wait.  There's a sixty percent chance of rain tomorrow, so it's possible it will be have to be pushed until Sunday. Can't fight Mother Nature

Good News!

 It is time for a little good news. This afternoon, I received an email I had been hoping for. A foundation has agreed to help the feral cat colony I've been caring for receive medical attention. While I have been happily forking over hundreds of dollars a month in cat food and supplies. Their medical needs? Le sigh. Needless to say,  I am thrilled. Happy Tuesday All!

Blogger/Blogspot Tutorial - How to Edit Your Blog Posts and Labels with UPDATED PDF FILE from JN

Image
 Hi all We are starting with the first page when you get on Blogger. You click on whatever post you want to edit, like where I circled the "Untitled" post in the screenshot. This will take you to where you can edit your blog post, like you're seeing me do here to the "Untitled" post in the previous screenshot. Make whatever changes you want and click Publish. It will go live right away. I do want to use this post to talk about "Labels", which function as tags. It's how you tell search engines (if you want your blog searchable, see " Settings " tutorial) what your post is about. Since I want other bloggers to find us, I have a list of labels I use.  AFF, AdultFriendFinder, Adult Friend Finder, Lady Cat Lady, LadyCatLady, EnigmaInitiative, Enigma Initiative, etc. You get my point.  I suggest you use your screen names and blog names rather than mine. 😉 Always make sure you hit publish after you've edited something. And, you can edit it ...

Blogger/Blogspot Tutorial - How to put Pictures and Videos in Your Blog

Image
 Alright, we're starting at the point where you're ready to write your post and want to insert a video or image into the post.  It's real simple.  Look at that bar above where you're typing away, do you see the buttons?  By clicking on the image button, a menu comes up.  Mine is linked to my Google Drive, so if your menu doesn't look like mine, that's why. Upload whatever you want. In this next screenshot is how you upload a video. This next screenshot will help you change the size of the picture or video you want to appear. Just Click the Gear circled. This screen will pop up, and the default setting seems to be Medium. I changed all mine to Extra Large, you do you. :) Blogger/Blogspot Tutorial - Add other AFFers Blogs to your Profile Blogger/Blogspot Tutorial - Reading List Blogger/Blogspot Tutorial - Add Followers Gadget Blogger/Blogspot Tutorial - Settings Blogger/Blogspot Tutorial - How to Title Your Blog Posts Blogger/Blogspot Tutorial – How to Edit Your B...
