  30. Day 31 – This was my original post that I wrote in my head back in February, but life actually got in the way and I wrote about what my life was like today instead of what I thought my day would be like in February. So I decided to write this original post anyway!

  74. Much gratitude to you all for the inspiration. This was my first rodeo and it was absolutely worth the effort.

    Special thanks to Juliette who inspired me to give this whole thing a go. And Andrea, who, like clockwork, was there 31 times to offer encouragement and feedback.

    Keep writing, everybody!

    1. Hi Joanne. I couldn’t find a place to leave a comment on your post. No matter what the weather is like Mother Nature has her own timetable and plants respond to that. Looking forward to garden pics.

    1. Yep… I’m shaking my head at your final thoughts Brian… I wrote early, I wrote later, I never plan a slice but later was sometimes easier… I loved reading and commenting… I accepted it too that I didn’t write 31 slices.. and I’m looking forward to composing slices on Tuesdays… so see you back here soon.
