Fun Monday - First Anniversary

Vicki of Catching Light, this week's hostess and creator of the Fun Monday series, is asking participants to show a picture out their front door. Additionally, Vicki is requesting us to link to our first post.

Since this is winter in my hemisphere, the picture out my front door shows a frigid view. The picture taken at sunrise on Saturday morning, the temperature was -.6 Fahrenheit. In this view, you can see our dormant Spirea bushes, the service road in front of our home, the stream (drainage ditch), the main road, and a barren farmer's field across the road.

My first post, which some of you have read, comes from my first blog, "Spring of the White Robin." Since I have deleted the original blog, this is my first blog post.

All right, fine, so how was Spring of the White Robin born? Well, among
other things, I imagine myself as a great writer. Okay, so my writing is not
so great, but I have a great title. Strangely enough, there is such a bird
as a white robin. Maybe there is not an all white robin, but there are
robins with white feathers where other robins have red feathers, a robin
white breast so to speak. So in my fantasy world where I AM the great
writer, I write a tale for preteens about a young girl having grand
adventures and creating splendid inventions during the spring, in which our
heroine simultaneously discovers a pair of white robins. Of course, my novelette
is adored by young girls everywhere; and thus, I am an instant success.By now,
if you have read this far, you may be thinking, “Why in the world would a sixty
year old woman want to start a blog? The white robin story s*cks.” I have to
admit that Blogger has seduced me with the opportunity to post my picture. Even
though I am old and gray, I like this picture taken by my photographer son. And
the overalls are one of my favorite things to wear. Hence, this blogging began
as the desire to comment and as the vanity of having my picture along side my
profound, humorous, and more often than not boring comments.
