Happy Fall!

Oops, once again I seem to have disappeared. I just can’t seem to get back into my blogging rhythm over here. And also, I feel as though I’ve typed that sentence in a previous post. Recently.

So much for a slow September, here we are at almost the end of it. I worked a lot more than I expected during the “slow” time. Guess I’m going to have to make an effort to create my own slower paced schedule for a bit.

Anyway, I do have a plan to get back into blogging regularly in this space and spending some time checking in on all my favorite blogging buddies (I apologize as I’ve not kept up well with that at all either).

October is the unofficial 31 days of blogging time. Used to be official with a site to link up to and all that. However, I just like to do it on my own now. And I’ve decided it’s exactly what I need.

One month, 31 straight days of blogging, one topic (sort of).

I’ve decided to get back to the roots of this blog and keep my 31 days in a chit chat style. So, starting in October, I’m going to do 31 days of questions!

Topics that might come up if you and I were sitting have a cup of coffee (or tea or whatever your favorite beverage of the moment might be….maybe we can pretend were out having margaritas if that’s more your style).

So as just a preview (and because I’m not quite ready to go back to cleaning the house/laundry), here’s one for you.

31 Days of Questions Preview

I don’t have any fancy graphics made yet and I may change the title. Or I might leave it as it’s pretty straightforward. Anyway, here’s an idea of what I’m thinking of doing every day in October.

Spotted this huge rain cloud at dusk one evening and was fascinated by it. I could see the lightning within the cloud striking at different points.

Have you ever watched a storm cloud where you could see the lightning in it before? Are you a fan of a good thunderstorm?

************

So be ready to grab your coffee/tea/margarita/water and join me in October for some fun questions and (hopefully) a few answers!

My answers: I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a cloud like that before though my husband thought it was much less fascinating so maybe I have and simply forgot. And yes, I do love a good thunderstorm as long as we’re all safe at home. Driving in one, not so much of a fan.

  1. Hello my Lovely!
    Happy Fall to you. :)๐Ÿ๐Ÿ’›
    I think we love to get you whenever we can…and it’s totally understandable to have times you just get too busy. Lovely to see you back here though. ๐Ÿ˜‰
    Love your idea for October! To answer your question – I have seen lightening in the clouds before. We sometimes get heat lightening where there’s now rain – just lightening dancing around in the clouds in the sky. I do a love a good thunderstorm if I’m home and nice and cozy! I remember being terrified when I was like 9 or 10 years old and we were camping in a tent out at a campground as a family, and there was a storm. It was SO loud because you were basically outside. And the tree shadows swaying in the wind you could see between lightening strikes freaked me out. You would think that would have scarred me. But as long as I’m not out in it or having to drive in it – I love a big juicy thunderstorm!

    1. Oh, that would be scary to be at a campground with a thunderstorm…just makes me double down on my no camping unless it’s at a Hilton stance, LOL. Definitely hoping to be around here a bit more often. Hoping you are getting ready for a great weekend!

    2. Oh, and I meant to ask about your daughter…is she near the hurricane? Thinking of her (and you) and hoping she’s safe!

  2. I LOVE this idea! You will find the groove that fits you best to get your blogging MOJO back. I look forward to you being back. And yes I LOVE, actually adore a good thunderstorm! And clouds are like snowflakes – no two alike, but all are beautiful in their own way. ๐Ÿ˜€

  3. We will be here whenever you are, my friend! I hope it is during this, my favorite time of year. But there’s no pressure! LOL. Have a cozy weekend!

    1. Aw, thank you! I’m really hoping this will be a nice no pressure way to get back into my blogging routines ๐Ÿ™‚ Hope you had a great weekend!

  4. Oh, the same here; I canโ€™t find my rhythm either, but maybe it will work out in autumn and winter. Iโ€™ll keep an eye on your blog in October because Iโ€™m curious about how youโ€™ll manage it. I wonder if it will take a lot of time. If it doesnโ€™t take too much time, Iโ€™d like to do it too!

    Best regards from the Netherlands!

    1. I think something about the fall/winter does make it easier to blog (I say that now, we’ll see). My plan is to do a few scheduled posts for days I know I’ll be busy and then, maybe a set time to answer comments. Hope your week is off to a wonderful start!
