Holiday Weekend Alone

Plenty of time to work on my projects.
 
 
Pots to fill.
 
 
 
Lemon Zest Petunias and Blue Lobelia to arrange.
 
 
 
My nightstand to finish priming. Paint colors to consider.
 
 
But until this sunny morning, the rain and wetness has precluded all outdoor tasks. Unfortunately, I've been lulled by the lazy, hazy cloudy and wet weather, sucked into the Internet-app world trying to figure out how I'm going to enjoy following my blogger friends post-Google Reader. This crucial problem requires much research. Hours and days.
 
 
Maybe a double espresso under the lemon trees will get me moving.
 
 
 
Or not. Those martinis aren't mine. Definitely not mine. What do you guess? Lemon-drop?
 
 
Well, it is Mother's Day in France. And the Cannes Movie Festival was exhausting...

Change is a Bite

Blogger dashboard


Not yet convinced I'm lovin' Bloglovin or Feedly.
 
I've gone from Reader to Bloglovin to Reader to Feedly to Bloglovin to Reader ad infinitum. Reader is best for me, but alas (don't think I've ever writtem or spoken that word previously)... Reader is going away. I'm moving on. Soon.
 
My blogs were conceived and shaped by Blogger and my blog reading habits by Google Reader.
 
Both of the above-mentioned highly recommended alternate Readers have wins and losses in comparison to my expectations.
 
Change is always difficult, and both Bloglovin and Feedly feel awkward and overly complicated, requiring me to sort through way too many pre-selected blogs to get to my preferred sites. And, there are inconsistencies and limited editing options; repetitive postings. A lot of repetitive postings.
 
Feedly seemed superior until I'd experienced a few days of their content-format manipulation. Weirdly random.
 
Reader is going away. I'm moving on. Soon.
