I read an article recently about whether or not you would read your own blog and it got me thinking about the blogs that I visit. I subscribe to a ridiculous number of blogs but have only a handful that I read on a daily/regular basis and that list of favourites is mostly blogs that are more like a morning update - like a conversation that continues through the days, months and years where there is no need for introductions, bells, whistles, spins, climaxes or finales. Simple, beautiful and nourishing. No drama, no issues, no competing, no self appointed experts. These are the kinds of blogs I enjoy best.
What if I shared a little something and nothing here instead of the gaps? The beauty of my day, the interesting links I come across, the creative things I often do but don't share. What if I shared with you what I like to see from others - like a postcard from my days. Snap shots of the wonder of ordinary.
This morning I tinkered with the RAW settings on my camera and captured the first of the daffodils to bloom. During the quiet of the morning, as I worked out how to upload and process the images, gentle ripping sounds broke the silence as the other flowers burst open to greet the sunlight with their dazzling colours.
Weekend breakfast is on my mind as school mornings are so rushed. I'm considering the Berry & Buttermilk Cake from Apples for Jam or perhaps something from my Breakfast Ideas folder on Pinterest.
Yesterday's warm weather turned my mind to Spring cleaning. I have been (procrasti)knitting these cheerful little Two Tone Tawashi (Ravelry Link) scrubbies for the purpose - such a great way to use up odds and ends of yarn in a useful way.
It's harder than it looks to write about nothing much!
Wishing you a wonderful weekend.
I too have certain blogs that I read on a daily basis, I like the honesty of them
ReplyDeleteYour photo of the daffodils was extra ordinarily beautiful. I liked your writing about "nothing." Lots of good nothing. :o)
ReplyDeleteLove the little scrubbies- must add those into my wish list soon...
ReplyDeleteLovely post! And you can bet that I'll be visiting that Breakfast Pinterest board. Yum-yum!
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to write about nothing much but you do it so well!
ReplyDeleteThat is a good way to see it; would you read your blog. Lol I wouldnt read mine which says a lot but then mine is less a blog that the occasional dribble lol.
ReplyDeleteOff topic quick question: I know you knit but do you sew? Nobody I knows does* and I have an equiry about it, I hoped you might.
*Unless you include sewing cok-eyed buttons back onto coats.
