Dry Spell
It's that time of year again - the dry spell. Summer is over, school is back in session, and there have been no recent holidays. All of this means that I haven't used my camera for a long time (Craigslist stuff doesn't count). Flipping through my scrapbooks you would notice pages and pages of summer, then about four pages to sum up fall and winter. I have purposely tried to take more pictures in the fall - raking leaves, apple picking, pumpkin patches - but it always seems staged and the same every year. Once winter hits you would see the token "playing in the snow" pictures and a few at Christmas. For some reason we have used the video camera more than the still camera during Chirstmas. I think I like hearing the kids' reactions. However, our video camera is broken, boo hoo. Then, once spring comes along the photos seem to pick up. We have all the boys' birthdays in the spring, there's Easter (my favorite holiday), and then it's summertime from there. So, now that you know about my photo dry spell, you will understand if my blog comes to a screeching halt for awhile. Who knows, maybe having the pressure of a blog will cause me to find things to take pictures of - dry spell over?

I'm not picky, I don't even need pictures. It's even just fun to see what you've been thinking about. My blog is on a dry spell as well, I've just been lazy enjoying everyone else'e blog updates.
I tend to have "picture dry spells" sometimes, too. However, mine seems to come about February/Marchish. By then, I have taken the sledding and snowman pictures you talked about and, frankly, it is just cold outside. Maybe having a blog will break my dry spell this year, too.
Exactly! A blog has helped me take pictures of things that I may not have normally. But I am with you. I'm not sure there is anything to take pictures of until Halloween!
I was just going to say the same thing that everyone else commented here. Blogs make you start noticing things. It's kind of like a Gratitude Journal... it makes you see with new eyes the little things in your life that are fun or worth describing in more detail. I really like that aspect of blogging.
I am with Robyn... I'm not picky either. I'd love to just hear what is rolling around your head!
