Allllllll about "commenting"........

.
I do realize that I am a No Reply Blogger.  But I am choosing to remain so, at least for awhile.
.
Let me explain my way of blogging.  ~~~~  If people come and leave a comment in my blog, I go and read/comment in their blog.
.
I do not send "email replies" to all who comment in my blog.  Feeling that my reciprocal reading/commenting in their blogs, is sufficient.  
 .
Nor do I expect anyone else, to do this "email-replies"-to-all-who-comment-in-their-blog.
.
And, I do not reply, in my blog comments, to the comments made on my blog.  This expects people to return to a blog, for a 2nd time, to see the blogger's return comments.  Who has time to do that????  Not I.
.
My feeling....  If you appreciate comments on your blog, go leave a comment, on the blog's, of your commenters.
.
Have you ever considered these issues?
.
If so, what is your view, on them?
.
Please and thank you.

Another accomplishment... :-)))

I finally made a "skirt" to cover my lamp shade!!!!
:-)
.
Sorry about the "tilt" of the shade.  
It is an old lamp and it "tilts"...
.
I used to be embarrassed about this.  
And then I saw beautiful old lamp shades, on Instagram.
Which proudly "tilted."  :-)
Soooo...  Now I am no longer embarrassed.  :-)
.
How silly of me!
Needing someone else's validation.
For a silly little thing, like a tilting lamp.
.
I easily follow my own mind, on big things!
.
But not on this tiny thing.
:-)

of her garments shaken...
Silent, and soft, and slow
Descends the snow."

My Frosted Rose....

My frosted rose, in my Banner.....
.
I took this photo, years ago.  By some chance, it came out in quite a beautiful way. 
.
I don't keep many pictures I have taken.  But this one, I have kept, for years.  I just love it.  :-) 
.
It is small by my blogging standards of today.  So I couldn't use it, in my Banner, until I learned to center my Banner pictures. 
.
I learned.  I can do it now.  And I did.  
.
Not an earth-shattering post topic.  But, I wanted to say it.  And I did.  
.
Hooray for our blogs!  A place, where we can write what we want.  "A Writing Place."  :-)

Blossom where the rose should grow....."
