      Are you still doing your Weekly Wednesday Challenge? I have missed seeing them the last couple of weeks.

        I am not. Gave it several months, then closed shop since it never really took off. Not the first time in my life and won’t be the last. I move forward and enjoy other’s challenges.

        I don’t know how I missed this comment or the other one. I had a WP issue the other day where I was responding to a comment and WP flipped me out of the comment and showed I had no notifications. I went to that person’s site, but still no comments showed up – these must be those comments.

          I had the exact same problem for a couple of days in a row. WP must be doing some updating.

            I had it happen tonight and now I know if I just exit WP, not even logout, the notifications come back – whew! I didn’t know the other day. We bloggers have to be on our toes constantly it seems.

    Your trail looks beautiful and springy, Pepper. The purple flower is so delicate. Our trail took us to Lodi, CA where we visited a resort and wandered through the garden. Even though it was well-maintained, it had the appearance of a wildflower garden with all different species planted next to each other. Is your weather muggy yet?

      Found it and it has been added to the links on this post. For some reason, pingbacks do not always go through. Adding a link in the comments seems to be more dependable. Haven’t figured out why this is.

    I’m always struck by how much northern woods resemble our landscape here in Eastern Washington, Pepper. Here is mine this week!
