Micro-Blogging & Catching Up

Are you on Instagram?

Me too!


Without intending to, my Instagram has become my micro-blog. It's now my immediate go-to when posting photos along with short text posts. I didn't expect how much I would enjoy using IG as well as the interactions with other users there.  

I didn't mean to get derailed here once again! There's so much to keep up with in the online (and offline) world anymore. Add my unpredictable health to the mix and it's all too much at times, even though I've always been conscious about using what sites/apps I enjoy vs what the status quo is at any given time. Our recent vaca was a great technology/app break and I've tried to keep that going to a large degree since being home. (Coming down with a wicked awful sinus infection the day after we got home on 7/20 and only starting to feel better on 8/3 has helped with the extended break!)

What I'm going to try focus on in the weeks to come is sharing here at The Portable Homestead in a way that doesn't duplicate my IG posts, but expands on them and takes them even further into detail. Get back into the writing aspect, not just the photos. 

Can y'all believe it's August already?! 2014 is just trucking along at an alarming speed. Summer hasn't been too bad so far. Our infamous Jersey summer has been less infamous so far and though disgustingly humid at times, the temps have mostly been in the 70s & 80s during the day! I for one am very thankful! (As are our air conditioners). Unfortunately it's been all or nothing when it comes to rain which has caused flooding issues at times locally, but overall, if our summers were more like this one, I'd complain about them a lot less!

How is Summer treating you so far?

Micro-blogging is just the perfect word. I too am trying really hard to keep my blog unique from my Instagram, it is tough most days as I am an instagram addict!

2nd Annual Practical Magic Blog Party 2011 is Here! *Updated*

It's time for the 2nd Annual Practical Magic Blog Party created & hosted by the wonderful Anna of Frosted Petunias ! My sincerest apologies for getting this up rather late! The adventure that is post Hurricane Irene cleanup & repairs has been taking up too much time recently. (sigh) Things are a mess; I only started decorating for Autumn yesterday and I'm missing Halloween decorations! Luckily my broom is always safe and sound by the front door so at least I don't have to wonder where it is. (Not that it hasn't been known to scamper off now and again - naughty broom). I was afraid, quite honestly, that I wouldn't even get a post up sometime today! I kept hitting dead ends with every other one I tried. But, this morning I sat here at the computer and it flowed. Thankfully! I would have been so disappointed if I'd missed this, it was such fun last year! As some may remember from last years party, while I like the movie, (and love that house!), I love the...

The Time Is Upon Us Once Again!

Welcome Friends! It's time once again for A Fanciful Twist Halloween Party ! Warmest thanks to the lovely Vanessa for hosting again this year. My apologies for not having this up sooner, I've been dreadfully under the weather and my helpers have been more of a hindrance! My lovely kitchen witch Helvetica has given up time off and has been cooking & baking away since last night but the skeletons have been eating everything in sight (damn their bottomless stomachs!) though they won't fess up and the invisible man has been raving on and on every time the door bell rings! I do hope you'll enjoy your visit to Pumpkin Manor and have a Happy Halloween ! I look forward to your return.

11:14pm (3/16/09) Watching a documentary Tennessee is so beautiful Head & nose all stuffy Out of ZyrtekD - sigh Want to read but distracted by my clogged head Hubby's snoring a little, restless a lot I worry about him He's so tired, works so much Doesn't get to do what he enjoys often enough (If at all) He willingly took my burdens & made them his own I'm still not used to being taken care of Makes me uncomfortable, guilty I took care of things for so many years Are 2 persons "stuff" too much for 1 person? Even a good, strong man? I know what it is to do more than my "fair share" Though the situation was completely different Is the end result the same?
