Change

A friend asked me recently how I would know when it was time to stop writing this blog...something I've thought about now and again.  Because I mostly write about my everyday joy...it's not possible to run out of material....so I told her as long as it continued to be a positive experience for me I would keep going for a while.  And if others read it ...that would be a bonus.

But what I did tell her would discouraged me from continuing was if Blogger changed the format and it got too technically difficult or frustrating.  I had already stated experiencing some glitches....especially adding photos and then this notice started appearing on the top of my blog screen the last several days.

They're changing the format....I don't necessarily like change.  But I've also been known to say "change is good"....so we'll see how it goes.

Blogger is giving us a chance to experiment with the new format although we can still use the old one for a while.  At some point this summer only the new will be available.

I started this post in the new format...but ended up finishing it in the old one.  Like I said I was already having trouble adding photos in the old version...and it seemed even trickier in the new one. It used to be so simple.  I can't do this without photos....so I hope I can work it out.  My computer is also getting older....so I'm wondering if that's playing a role. Or is it just time to stop?

So this post is about change.....change in the woods....and adapting to change in my life.

The woods behind the condo has really come to life.  The trees have leafed out and the ferns are growing tall...and I'm loving the return of all my my sweet spring woodland flowers. 

I check on these little sarsaparilla firecrackers every day...they're my favorite.  They're just starting to open up and they're scatted all over.

I've added  clumps of sweet woodruff here and there that I brought from my Lexington garden...and they're adapting to the change quite well.

I hope I do as well adapting.   Putting this post together took way longer than it should have. Maybe it's the universe telling me it's time to stop....or maybe it's telling me to make the posts more simple.  I don't know....but I'm listening.
