Posts here have slowed down lately, and GardenPunks seems to be taking a turn again – the blog tends to evolve every year to incorporate our newly-discovered passions and current interests. I’m having a hard time finding inspiration for interesting garden or environment related posts, perhaps it’s the doom and gloom of our economy and the current outlook (“Great Depression, Now in Color!” screams a silly picture from PunditKitchen.com this morning)
Chris and I have become complacent about some of our environmental adventures – riding our bikes to work, hanging laundry on the line, catching water from our showers and sinks, running the dishwasher only when super full…the list goes on (while we still participate in these adventures sometimes, it’s not as much as we’d like – and then there are the excuses for each…). The garden is hanging in there, looking as gorgeous as ever, I even started some winter seeds and am approaching another round! But why I can’t get motivated to post about it is beyond me.
I’m going to stop beating myself up and commit to a challenge – 5 posts per week minimum. Posts about photography, gardening, food, and environmental issues all represented at least once in the rotation.
I blog because it makes me feel like people care, as narcissistic as that may seem. The readership we’ve gained over the last 2 years is still important to us, and we want to give you what it is that made you subscribe to us in the first place! So hang with us through the funk – and let me know if there is something you would like to see us write about!
