I Appreciate Followers

04.09.09 | Ilona Erwin | 5 Comments


Yes, I do! To any who have joined the blog whether through googlefriends or by using the feed…thank you so much. One does not write in a vacuum, and doesn’t love it any more than mother nature 🙂 I recently checked in on the facebook page for the site and ::frown:: no activity…which really isn’t anyone’s fault but my own. It takes me awhile to get up to speed on these things.

This month is getting so busy. I wish I could just slow things down for a couple weeks. There are bunches of pictures from all summer… places that I wanted to write about and all that… I’m just so slow about it because I get distracted reading interesting, but irrelevant things, taking advantage of a sunny day to just sit and think, and getting almost nothing done. Do you have times like that?

It would be ideal if all the undone things would just take a hike!

Anyway…just wanted to let people know I appreciate their time and supportiveness… and any and all encouraging words:)

About Ilona Erwin

I was a garden blog pioneer, and began writing on this blog in 2003. Before that I had begun a garden website that has been at its own domain since 2006, Ilona's Garden.

I still love writing, gardening, and art after all these years, although travel and grandchildren have become a big part of my life, now.

    Hi Ilona,
    I have signed in as your”Follower” on your blog and enjoy reading your posts.
    But I have no time to use Facebook or Twitter.
    If you visit my Guildwood.blogspot.com site, you’ll see why I am sooo busy.
    Gisela.

    I subscribe to your blog via Bloglines. Not sure if I’ve ever commented before though. It takes a lot of work to write a good blog. Know that the time and effort you spend on it are worth it.

    Yes I have times like that, but just think if all the undone things went away you would have nothing to do and would be bored. So you just have to keep on trucking.

    By the way you are welcome, I enjoy your blog a lot.

    John

    the fam and I went out on a field trip day… and lo and behold I get back to see these comments and get a full dose of encouragement. Thanks so much ppl 🙂

    Gisela- you are busy! It was so interesting to read your fossil post after my trip to the historical society today. We were just viewing some of those very types, and some quite rare and interesting ones. A perfect little fern leaf was my favorite @ the society.
    Leigh-love your gravatar. Your effort and time to comment helped make my day {hug}

    And yes, John you have a favored place… you have helped make this blog a more friendly place. Appreciate you.

    I have some pics from the historical society that I hope turned out (lighting you know!) … garden related 🙂
