WHERE HAVE ALL THE BLOGGERS GONE?




I chose the above picture today because that little structure looks so alone and forlorn in that beautiful field of lavender.


Same with the hollyhocks...all alone in the above garden.  I feel that there was once a thriving blogging community that blogged for the mere sake of posting something uplifting or beautiful or sharing a bit of useful information.  

In my opinion, that seems to have been put by the wayside and replaced by Facebook or Twitter or some other social media platform.

I truly miss all the blogs that seem to have disappeared from the net.  
Do any of you agree with me on this?
I have always been of the opinion that old things are the best things.  I guess that includes people too!! haha

Just me spouting off...as usual.

  1. I started my blog in 2007 and I focus on upbeat things, mostly. Many of my fav bloggers continue to blog, I am happy to note. I hope FB and Twitter never replace blogging, blogging is more relaxed and we take the time to chat. Your two photos are lovely. Come on over and say hi.

  3. Oh yes, you're absolutely right. There was a massive exodus to "easier" and "quicker" platforms like Facebook and Twitter. Many people who still want to blog are over on Instagram now, which is the current "cool" spot. Some have moved on to YouTube or podcasts. The blogsphere has a revolving door on it!

  4. I am one of those disappearing Bloggers. I stay on Blogger to read and comment on the posts of those I have gotten to know and like, but similar to my life, I am winding down. I have full intentions of writing again, but don’t know when that will be.

  5. I've been blogging since 2008, you are right about the exodus of bloggers going to FB, Twitter and Instagram. I'm not on any of those. I enjoy blogging, although, I don't do as much as I used to.

  6. Yep...my blog featuring my oil paintings, was very busy with lots of comments a decade ago, but it seems that cellphones have replaced PC's and people are constantly playing with them...and facebook is "old" too. I think Twitter is ridiculous...posting to the world what you're doing every minute (who cares and who has the time)...and Instagram is the replacement with it's immediately gratifying flashes of images, no reading. Seems a shame. My blog barely gets any hits anymore so I eventually stopped posting. jeanneillenye.blogspot.com

  7. I fully agree that blogs are disappearing like hand-written notes in the post, long telephone chats and glossy magazines. I know that it is time consuming for those who write but i do miss their inspiration and talent.

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY......I'M GOING TO HAVE A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY MONTH!!!

I turn 67 today.....and actually I feel better as the years accumulate.  Since I've gotten older I actually have decided that I will celebrate each day during the month of October...just being grateful for being healthy and alive.   I hope each one of you who follow this little blog of mine celebrate each day along with me.... Here are some of the things I have planned for my birthday month: 1.  Listing our current home the end of the first week in November.  We are pretty excited to be moving into a little smaller spot as it means less work and maintenance.  We just want to be able to live more and work less.  Although we still have not found our new spot.....we know it is out there.   2.  Taking a 15 day cruise on the Rhine from Amsterdam to Budapest.  We will visit 5 countries along the way.  One of the stops will be in the place I was born....Nuremberg, Germany.  My  family  left Germany right after the war...when I was quite young.  Memories are almos

PUTTING ON MY GYPSY SHOES......................

Bo Bunny Paper Collection Well.......the coach is packed...the laundry done in the condo....and we will be on our way tomorrow. I often do feel like a gypsy moving from one spot to another....and each year my gratitude grows as I am able to continue this lifestyle. I truly would love to "do up" my coach in Gypsy Style...but alas....not too practical as things probably would be flying all over as we traveled down the road.  (O: But.....a girl can dream.....can't she? ~~~ My suitcase is packed with memories To be opened further down the road When my caravan must be halted The bag waits to be opened Stories to be told and shared Like the gypsy's of so long ago But for now....the wheels keep turning And my case grows larger still Waiting for the day..I must be stopped   And my heart, to the brim, will be filled Hugs from me to you, Jo Gypsy photos:  Electric Gipsyland on Flickr

HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND A MERRY CHRISTMAS

This is a picture of our little tree this year.  Each year our trees seem to be smaller, a function of our getting older and just wanting to deal with less stuff.  I'm sure a few of you feel them same.  Although it does seem to be a little weird that we want to deal with fewer Christmas decorations and give each other MORE STUFF in the way of presents under the tree.   Ahhh...being human is such a quandary sometimes!                                          MERRY CHRISTMAS                                                          Jo
