Up in the air....

First off - it appears that Google Blogger is no longer sending post-update emails to subscribers.  I've put up a couple of posts and, as a subscriber to my own blog, I've not received any notices for days.  You may want to check a couple of previous post entries to see if you've missed anything interesting.

I'm not a sports fan at all.  Canton, though, is about to embark on it's annual HOF Football frenzy which cautions me from going anywhere near downtown, the parks or other places chock-a-block with revelers until after next weekend.

But I do enjoy it when the Goodyear blimp drones down this way.  You can't mistake the noise of the engines and when I hear it I head outside to watch it dolphin it's way to the south.  (Watch a blimp fly, it 'swims' through the air like a dolphin, the nose dipping up and down, up and down.)

While everyone else is celebrating the annual induction festival, I've got something to celebrate too.

My neighbors got a new patio set and wanted to get rid of their old swing.  Gee, now WHO would enjoy such a thing?

Maybe someone who is, these days, doing more sitting down than in previous years?

MOI!

One more step in place toward making the old veg bed into a shady sitting garden....

And another reason for me to spend more time sitting and THINKING, check out this HouseHold Adventure (<= click here).

    1. How ironic! The blimps are based in Akron (about 20 miles north of here) so we do see them occasionally, especially during HOF week.

    1. Yep - The swing needs a bit of TLC, but you sure can't beat the price! And the view from there is really quite nice.

  3. Do you mean the. Comments people make on your posts? Mine seem to be working. There's a notifi action setting to turn those on and off. Yours might have gotten changed somehow.

    1. Hi Rick. Nice to hear from you. No, it's not the 'comment notification' that is the problem. It's when someone signs up for "Follow by Email" (link at bottom of right side column) and you get an automatic email whenever a new post goes up. It's these emails that I've not seen for a week. Wonder what's up with that?

      Glad to know you're still keeping tabs on the Sanctuary - in spite of the increasingly-ditzy keeper. ;-D

  4. That looks very similar to ours. Ask me how much time I spend sitting on it.......not enough.

    I was notified about this posting. I will now check out the other ones.

    I hope you are using the new swing.

    1. How odd. I'M not getting update emails - and I checked to make sure that my addy is still on the 'follow by email' list. A mystery...

      Yes, I sit there now and then as I start planning how to layout that new sitting garden. I'm really going to need some privacy screening behind it. It's smack in the line of site of the weird neighbor guy.
