08.04.10 | Ilona Erwin | 4 Comments

Sometimes too many blogs in the fire are too much of a good thing, I know… for reading and writing. However (you knew that was coming, right?) I had decided to break up the topics that I write on into separate blogs some time ago (before blogging, actually, when making that first Geocities website).

ANYWAY – you might be interested in following the d-i-yourself tales and the back and forth banter between my husband (aka Handyman) and I who are the two writers, and apparently the two readers, of that blog on fixing up the old house. I am also writing in the garden file with my little plans and projects for the garden. It sort of keep track of how accountable I am to my dreams and plans, etc.

Garden Beds and Your Marriage get covered in the old house. Oh the double entendres that inspires!

Garden tasks and plans for this week, in the Garden File.

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.

    I posted with about ten edits for typos following that. Wow. new record.

    I must stop talking to myself- anyway… I think I will warn people when there is or is not more to read in the post. It is a script in the template that comes up whether there is more or not. Or maybe I can dig back into the innards of the template to remove it. I don’t really need it now with the “more” feature in blogger.

    Good progress in programs sometimes means tedious remedial work. Happens all the time….

    Of course you’re not talking to yourself…

    HAHA! Thanks, Rob… until you posted that it sort of felt like it.

    Internal conversation: “you keep commenting to yourself on your own post…how lame is that?” but see, now I can feel like I was talking to you, which, of course I was 🙂

    … and the conversation helped me to do something about that pesky read more whether there was something there or not. Now every time it tell you that it will be in response to something else that is on the page….. like it should!
