I'm plum out of bloggish thoughts and bloggable energy, but I've noticed a huge spike in my stats in the last three or four days. I can't see a pattern (though I did see that someone Googled "washcloth versus sponge" to fall on my birthday post of about, I don't know, four years ago or so, heh-heh) and so I can't figure out where everyone is coming from, but I just thought I'd say hello. Hopefully I'll get the blog love back at least before my blogiversary later this week.
Don't beat yourself up about it... if we all lived at the pinnacle all of the time, it wouldn't seem so impressive to be there.

Hmmm... I noticed a spike in my stats as well. In my case I figure it is a Typepad glitch. ;)

Take a little time, play with the seed packets, dream some green dreams. We'll wait for you.

Well, you know we'd worry about you if you didn't at least check in every day...

Grrlfriend, I know how you feel.

With Mr. Jefferies posting weekly, how could your stats not go up? ;-)

Enjoy your well deserved break!

I love your blog. You brighten my day, inspire my knitting and teach me about gardening. Thank you.

People are tuning in hoping for more photos of Mr. J.

I come here everyday, sometimes twice. I'm eagerly awaiting gardening season, though I think I'm buying most plants this year, as the most prolific things I grew myself last year were egg gourds. The deer have finally finished off my kale. I'm ready to dig through the snow to find the first dandelion greens so I can make dandelion pesto. I just want green anything.

It's a sign, Norma. Mr. J needs two days a week to satisfy his growing fan base. Of course, you'll have to get David to help him write the additional day. I wonder if he'd do it...

Probably Mr. Jeffries fame and all that talk of hand jobs.
Posted by: Tammy | Wednesday, March 03, 2010 at 08:50 AM
Yep. Know what you mean. XOXOXOXOX

Dear Norma, you are such an important part of my daily routine. I so enjoy reading about your life, Mr. Jeffries, your garden, New York when you visit there, everything. Heck, I feel that I almost KNOW you!! This is just me dropping by to say hi, I'm SO glad you're here. Hugs!

Take a mental health day. Rx = Take a nap. Take a walk. Take another nap.
Posted by: Joannah | Wednesday, March 03, 2010 at 11:06 AM
Heh. No bloggy thoughts or blogging energy, please meet my ton of bloggy thoughts but lack of time to do anything about them. Between the two of us I think we have half the equation.
(Nothing a good night's rest will fix?)

Even blogging that you don't have anything to blog counts as a post...
Posted by: Mary Fran | Wednesday, March 03, 2010 at 12:03 PM
If you decide to take a bit of a well-deserved break, we'll be here when you get back....
Posted by: Elaine | Wednesday, March 03, 2010 at 01:32 PM
The Ravelympics are over and everyone's catching up! They missed you & Mr Jeffries while slogging away and needed a fix...

Who has bloggy energy? If it wasn't for medical updates, I would have less than nothing.
Should I take some dandelion photos and email them to you? Please don't feel like you have to force it. Blog when you want. We'll be here.
Posted by: Cookie | Wednesday, March 03, 2010 at 02:02 PM
Nevermind, as others have said, we'll still be here when you come back. You can't get rid of us that easily.

May I wish you an early happy blogiversary? I don't do well in crowds.
In my entire knitting career I have made exactly one washcloth.
Posted by: Lucia | Wednesday, March 03, 2010 at 05:28 PM
Well, the hand job man made the news...

So "washcloth vs sponge" is not a discussion on birth control?
Posted by: Laura | Thursday, March 04, 2010 at 10:31 AM
Well. OK. I agree to your terms - and Happy Anniversary!
