One year ago today I started my blog, SWEET HOME AND GARDEN CHICAGO. At the time, I had no idea that I would meet so many people as crazy as I am about gardening . So many different personalities in the garden blogging world and each give fresh views on blogging and gardening .
I've also written 267 blogs out of the 365 days in the year, pretty consistent , although I did take weekends off.
If blogging was my only job I'm sure I would do it much better than I have. The fact is that I have to struggle to write almost every day because I have so many other things on my plate
( yeah, just like you, I know !) .
So, to the dear bloggers that I've got to know and admire in the past year : I thank you for your encouragement and support, without which I surely wouldn't have come as far as I did.
Happy Anniversary, Carolyn! I remember the first time I found your blog--naturally it was the "redneck humor" that caught my eye!
