It didn’t happen overnight, but slowly the ideas for blog posts have been reduced to a trickle. There are a few technical problems with the WordPress platform, but if I had more enthusiasm I could, no doubt, work through those. Although I have some serious health problems I’m dealing fine with those. COVID lockdown? It probably would not be fair to blame that either. So, bottom line, I can’t explain the drought of ideas.
I’m going to take a hiatus until the last of August, try to do some serious writing and contemplating and I hope to come back with more depth. Thanks for your patience, thanks for all the hours you’ve spent on Crooked Creek and have a safe summer.
P.S. I can always be reached in the interim at: suebmattingly@gmail.com

Sue, thank you for the many pearls of wisdom and appreciation of all of Nature’s gifts (You are one, too) you have shared through pictures and words. I always look forward to reading your blog. Sometimes, especially in these particularly trying times, it becomes necessary to step back to recharge the batteries. You will be missed and at the same time, give me something to look forward to. Peace.

Have a relaxing break from blogging. (I’m supposed to be, too, but I just abandon the circle altogether. 😉 )
I want to encourage you to keep writing, though. Follow one of the daily writing prompts — or pick a random quote — and write for a few minutes on the concept or describe a scene that pertains to this word. Keeps a person “oiled” — and these saved musings may someday make good “kindling” for future posts. 🙂
