Strange Day

                                                                                




 First my Facebook account was suspended. The reason given had to do with an Instagram account--that I don't believe is mine. I signed up for IG years ago but haven't used it since.

I'm suspecting a hack and will stay off FB till things become clearer. While I'll miss being in touch with friends, I think it will be a good thing to break the tie, at least for a while. 

Then our power went off for hours. No biggie--I sketched and listened to Stephen Fry reading P.G. Wodehouse. It was a pleasant way to spend a cold, drizzly day.

I haven't yet decided if I'll continue this blog on a daily basis. It began as a way to reach readers and has become, really, a sort of online journal. Most of the engagement has come from FB with a handful of folks who read the blog online rather than FB.

 We'll see

I do see you on FB when I go, but I follow mainly through Blogger. I am less of a FB guy. I don't like to use it more than I 'need' to in order to stay in touch.

We'll stay in touch through Blogger--until something happens to that platform.

I have never used facebook. . I have come to rely on your daily blog.

Teddy said...

Will miss your daily visits. Your blog is the first thing I read while having breakfast.

Vicki Lane said...

You encourage me to keep posting!

Don't give it up. Yours is a voice I like to read. I'm not on FB and never will be.

I don't do Facebook, either. But I do read your blog every day.

I wondered what was up when your page disappeared from my search list. This is crazy. Glad you're here on your blog.

Your blog is the only one I visit every day, and I always start my morning with it.

I read your blog everyday, whether or not I comment. And now you (and Barbara) are my main source of info about the craziness overtaking the US, not to mention soothing scenery and wonderful skies. (And Josie's charm.) I'm happy to carry on reading you on Blogger - and if you need a break for your own sanity, do please take one - but do come back!

I've followed your blog for years. Love the book suggestions, recipes, farm life, and watching Josie grow up.

Is this why we're no longer friends on FB?

Is this why you are no longer on my friend list on FB?

I'm sorry to lose you on Facebook. If you are looking for another social media venue, a lot of us are now on BlueSky. It seems to skew liberal, which is a Good Thing in these times.
