Strawberry plants are flowering already!

by

Look at this! I took this photo about a week and a half ago – my strawberry plants are beginning to flower already!

You know what that means don’t you? We’ll probably have strawberries by early June! Yeah baby, fresh strawberries. Yum.

the best thing about the strawberry plants that we have is that they keep producing fruit well into late September or even early October! Some strawberry plants only produce one or two crops early in the season, but ours are every producing ones.

I can’t wait to taste a fresh strawberry from my garden. I just hope my puppy doesn’t get to them before we do!





Need inspiration for celebrity blogging

by

You know, I’ve got a celebrity related blog, but I haven’t written in it much lately.

Oh there’s lots of celebrity news that I could be reporting, but I think when just about all the young stars and their dogs were in drug rehab I just felt “What’s the point” in regards to writing about it.

Even though I haven’t written in that blog much this year at all it’s still quite popular. It gets a lot of hits every day. I really should get it going again. I guess I’ll have to try to find some inspiration and hope that the young stars stay out of trouble.

Flowers springing up everywhere

by

My garden is looking lovely this year. It seems that almost each day a new plant has sprung up or a flower has started to bloom.

Here’s a close up of one of the tulip buds that was about to bloom a week ago when I took this photo. There are even more flowers filling the garden now.

Our puppy has been pretty good about staying out of the garden.

A month ago we started saying “no garden’ every time she went near our flower beds or anyone else’s when we were walking her. However lately she’s been sticking her nose into the garden to smell things. I guess even she can’t resist the smell of all the new plants that have been springing up.

Strange code in my WordPress files

by

A few weeks ago I noticed that some of my wordpress blogs said that I was using version 2.5. Odd … I haven’t upgraded to the newest version of WordPress yet and the blogs that said I was using 2.5 weren’t even upgraded to 2.33 yet either.

I think I’ve finally figured out what happened. On April 10th I must have been hit by a bug … maybe through my FTP program or by visiting someones website. Several files in each of my blogs (those that say version 2.5 and all the rest) have a line of code in them that wasn’t there before.

So the last few days have been spent going over each file, and all the files on my CMS run website as well as another website to remove the added code. I’m almost done repairing the files. Unfortunately the blogs that say they are using the highest version of WP still say that even though I’ve cleaned all the files.

Weird eh?

Another thing that I’ve come to realize this past few days is that I need more ram in my laptop as I’ve had tons of windows open in my browser as well as several programs running at once as I’ve searched out the affected files on my sites and the computer just gets slower and slower.

I know how to upgrade a desktop computer but I’ve never upgraded a laptop. This should be fun!

Anyone else find odd lines of code at the top of their WP files – even theme files – in the last while? Maybe there’s a new bug going around. Whatever it is my antivirus program didn’t catch it!

Blackout!

by

Our power finally came back on. Yeah!

At around 11:30 pm last night, as Chris and I were watching TV, our power went out for a second, came back on again for a few seconds then we were pitched into total darkness.

We took a look outside and several streets around us were affected by the power outage too. The power finally came back on at 2:30 am after being off for 3 hours. Not fun when you’re in the middle of a blog post!

Good thing we have a lot of candles in the house. We quickly gathered candles from various parts of the house and lit them up in safe areas. Actually we put the dog in her crate first as I’m sure she would have knocked a candle over if she’d been out.

I did try to go to bed after waiting for the power to come back on for about 45 minutes. Chris has one of those book reading lights so I read a novel in bed for a while, hoping to get sleepy. I think I was just finally falling asleep when the furnace came on and startled me. That’s how I knew the power was back on.

Good thing I woke up though as I’d tried to turn out the lamps on the main floor, but I wasn’t successful as there were lights blazing in the living room when I checked.

Now I’m up and I’m hoping to get back to bed soon.
