January 4th

Back in January 2022 I’d decided, with the great input from you folks, to do the 365 Days challenge, posting at least one photo a day for each day, chronicling my year. As you know, I got ‘way behind a lot of times, probably because instead of posting one photo a day, which was my original intent, I ended up posting a lot more than that, which took a lot of time, cropping and editing the photos, typing out captions, etc., and then posting everything. I think I got burned out and discouraged because I couldn’t keep up. I have a fairly busy life to attend to, also.
I am basically a storyteller, really. But I was so busy posting daily photos that I didn’t have time to post about our various road trips (witness the fact that I never did finish our autumn drive up the mountain from a year and a half ago!). I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about what I want to do with this blog this year, and I think that I’m going to cut down on the number of 365 Days photos I’ve been doing for the past three years, and concentrate more on storytelling, if you can call it that. I’m still going to work in the Daily Hummingbird, though, and I still want to chronicle each day, but on a smaller scale.
So without further adieu…

Christmas Eve
We drove out after dark to look at Christmas lights; as I said before, our usual wonderful display wasn’t open to cars, so we missed that one. But here are a few that we saw around town.

I think what I’m going to have to do is just post photos without a lot of comment in order to catch up!

The guys from AMEN, where we get our food for deliveries from, helped us out today because Chris’ pickup was in the shop.

I’m so far behind so will have to make my posts short in order to catch up. If I ever do. November was a really hard month for me.
