Blogging 101

I like the way blogger.com allows me to post pictures and especially the way it allows folks to search for key terms in the blog, and to leave comments each day. I was going to add a guest book to my website, and a search capability to my journal entries, but I think this might be better. I'm going to give it a whirl, anyway, and see how I like it. Plus, blogger.com lets me create the blog using their tools but I can still host it on my server. Cool!

The news here: I got my driver's license and tags for the pickup truck! I'm officially a resident of West (by god) Virginia now. I feel like I have well and truly arrived.

It's raining, raining, raining here and has been for the last three weeks or more. We need to cut some firewood, but everything is soaked and muddy. Daring to be optimistic, we bought a couple of chains for the chainsaw yesterday. This will probably ensure rain for another forty days.

I'm jonesing to be out digging my garden beds, too, but it's way too muddy for that. Seems like it went from frozen to muck overnight.
