If I Post It... Will She Come?

The Spring Header is UP!

So, if I post about Spring will she finally come? Hey, it's worth a try don't you think?

Here's a post from last Spring... surely one of my favorites. Enjoy!
(Our Redbuds are actually very tiny and tight as I write this. Sunshine... we need SUNSHINE!) 

♥♥♥ 

 Early morning snow in my gardens!

QUICK! 

Grab a sweatshirt and run out in your PJ's!

There's MAGIC in the gardens

and it won't last long...

Spring Snow always melts so quickly.

Redbuds in Snow

The Redbuds are waiting patiently for sunshine,

and when it comes,

 those tiny little buds will "POP"!

Sweet Reflection

 Can you SEE the magic?

Enchanted Drop of Melted Snow

It's "take my breath away" beautiful!

I told you there was MAGIC in my gardens. 

Blooming Requires... PATIENCE

 All of Nature is waiting patiently...

but Spring is coming sooo very slowly.

Sensation Lilac

 Buds are tiptoeing cautiously...

Is it going to be SUNNY or SNOWY?

Warm or Cold?

Maple Leaf Babies

Is it safe to come out yet?

I don't think so, 

Didn't you hear?

There's more SNOW in the forecast.

Pretty Periwinkle Peeking Out from Snow

  

Real Blooms!

 Contrary to what you may think,

these little buds and blooms will be just fine.

This is Spring in Utah.

 

Tulips!

Though I do think 

they're BRAVE little souls.

Don't you?

Huge Increase in Blog Stats?

We are bloggers. 

We cheerfully publish our work online 
for all of the world to see.

We are of the 
"If we build it, they will come" mentality. 

And they do come.

 They view our pics 
and read our carefully crafted words.  

 And WE love the connection it brings
to other warm bodies 
who share our passion.

Warm bodies who pull up a chair and sit a spell 
to enjoy what we create. 

Warm bodies who often leave comments
to add their "point of view" to the dialogue. 

Then there are the "not so warm" bodies. 

They come and they go... by the thousands... leaving no trace of their coming 

except for a HUGE increase in our blog stats. 

Ever wonder WHY they come? 
Too busy to stop?
Not interested in the subject? 
Just browsing? 

I can really only guess, 
but I did start to wondering a few weeks ago  
when I noticed my blog stats increasing exponentially 
from a country that has been in the news lately 
for suspected hacking of prominent websites 
such as the New York Times and others. 

So I did a little investigating...

 Since December of 2012, I have received 3313 page views from that very same country... 
and not a single comment.

What could they be looking for?

Curious.  

Very curious indeed. 

 

Last week, the good people at Google shared this information:
(I'm thinking they may be thinking it's a bit curious, too)

Be sure to click on each of the headings to discover the details.

You'll be glad you did. 

And after you've read it... 

Take action!

Do something with what you've learned.

It may save you a little heartache down the road.

It's a really crazy world out there.

Next post I'll share a few more ideas.

Welcome to my gardens!
