This ‘N That Thursday – May 16, 2013

May 16, 2013 By Jodi

Today we join our friends at the 2 Brown Dawgs blog for This ‘N That Thursday.

“This ‘N That Thursday is for those times when you want to post about unrelated topics or each topic isn’t quite long enough to make up a whole post. It can be anything you want, so feel free to grab the button and join us!”

Google Reader

Well I finally got almost all the way caught up in my reader. And yes, I’m still using the damn Google Reader, I’m just not ready to tackle learning a new reader….yet. I know, I know pretty soon I’ll have no choice.

At the beginning of this week I had over 300 posts to read, and I’m pleased to say as of last night I had only about 6 left to read. I promise even if I’m not commenting, I am reading, but as I won’t be reading much in the next four days, it may take me a while to catch up.

I’m going to ask you to please be patient with me. I’ll do my best. 😀

Follow-Up Friday

I’ve decided I’m going to begin announcing my co-hostess for the blog hop on Thursday, I think this will help those of you who participate in writing your post. And yes, I was gender specific, you don’t see any guys offering to co-host do you?

This week my co-hostess is Linda from the 2 Brown Dawgs blog.

This week’s Follow-Up Friday will include all follow-up except for today. Since I’m BlogPaws bound, and am NOT bringing my computer and HAVEN’T figured out how to post with the iPad, I’m scheduling tomorrow and Sunday’s posts to go up automatically.

I’ll try and facebook and tweet, but there are no guarantees. 🙂

The Dog By the Park

This little guy belongs to a house right next to our park, nearly every day he’s out there barking at us. I feel so bad for him, I really wish we could take him on our walk with us.

And finally, just because I can.

That’s it for me, see you on Monday. 🙂 This is the This ‘N That Thursday Blog Hop hosted by 2 Brown Dawgs, grab the badge and join us.

BlogPaws

In exactly one week I’ll be on my way to BlogPaws. Here’s the question. Are you going? Have you made arrangements to meet up with your favorite bloggers? I’ve currently been kibitzing online with some of my blog mates I know are attending and making arrangements to meet them.

But I want to make sure I have the opportunity to meet as many of you as possible, so please if you’re going and we haven’t been kibitzing on facebook, leave me a comment so I make certain to add you to my list. 😀 (Unless of course you don’t want to meet me.)

Tracking Spring

Remember my experiment to track spring?

Remember this little guy? I took this picture on April 21st.

: Monday (4-22-13)

: Tuesday (4-23-13)

: Wednesday (4-24-13)

: Thursday (4-25-13)

: Saturday (4-27-13)

: Sunday (4-28-13)

: Monday (4-29-13)

: Wednesday (5-1-13)

: Friday (5-3-13)

: Saturday (5-4-13)

: The branch (5-6-13)

(If you click on the photo, they enlarge.)

I did miss a few days due to some other obligations but I think I caught a good amount. It’s funny after missing just one day I noticed the difference immediately upon entering the park.

The Daily Dog Blog

Please keep my friend Julie in your thoughts today, her family is going through a really hard time right now.

That’s it for me, remember whatever you do today, live your life with a heart like a dog.

As you know I’ve been tracking spring and really I have a whole bunch of neat pictures to share with you, I just think I need a few more days, but in the meantime I have this really large rhododendron bush in my back yard that I’ve been tracking.
