I was reading through some old posts of yours, and you digressed into a long bit about how dangerous elephants are and how you once ran away from an angry herd of them. There was fashion shoot involved somehow. But, I suppose that I also meant it in a metaphorical way . . . because you live in a world that is so big, grand and scary.Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02375981493145612394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-484915268092812945.post-76752748928158831032009-05-08T21:46:00.000+01:002009-05-08T21:46:00.000+01:00gee bee...thanks for the recommendation..in fact, ...gee bee...thanks for the recommendation..in fact, off to be chased by elephant tommorrow...!? x janelleJanellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05125077795925721552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-484915268092812945.post-34073760662484246682009-05-08T18:43:00.000+01:002009-05-08T18:43:00.000+01:00There are too many good blogs to love.

My husband has also been known to look up people's houses . . .<br />Thanks for clarifying this issue for me. It is now clear why I don't run into Kate Bush at Waitrose. Such a pity.<br /><br />Butternut Squash - honey wine. YUM. Yes, your point about writing is well-taken. I'm always struggling to get the writing/reading balance right.<br /><br />Lisa - Yes, it really does evolve (first, I wrote revolve). I just sent an email to you in which I actually use the word evolution!<br /><br />About the new blogs: I know, I know. You will be fascinated by Janelle, though. Please do not gnash your teeth about how wonderfully she writes or how exotic and interesting her life is compared to, well, pretty anyone else's.<br /><br />Beeswax - Hi!

I'm at that point, too, and I don't know how to manage it all. My boss has such an attitude about paying me to read blogs and leave comments.<br /><br />Still - I'm finding that the blogs that I once read that continue to focus on politics have become second tier in my reading rotation (I feel like a rat by not being a loyal reader/commenter anymore) and those that deal with art and relationships and humor are more to my liking.

Good stuff and lovely photo!<br /><br />I'm in love with all my incredible blogging friends--don't know if that's healthy or not (escapism?) but I've "met" some wonderful people (including you!). Would love to actually start visiting everybody--I think that would be amazing.<br /><br />By the way, the best place I ever lived was definitely Monterey, California--a close second was Santa Monica, CA. I guess I'm a Calif. girl at heart, even though I was raised in the East and have spent most of my adulthood in the Midwest. The worst place I ever lived was Monroe, Michigan!CashmereLibrarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11729843454611380586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-484915268092812945.post-16842528405131214552009-05-08T01:54:00.000+01:002009-05-08T01:54:00.000+01:00Thanks for the recommendations.

We lost one of our daily papers in Seattle and that has helped me to find a little more time to keep up with new posts. <br /><br />So many interesting and creative people and voices out there- yourself included, of course. <br /><br />Thank you for adding your voice.blackbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07044667449525289901noreply@blogger.com
