they've got their thinking cats on

I myself have a cat sleeping on my head in Habitica. And in real life, a dog the size of a cat who would like to be sitting on my body, whenever he sits.

Another dog who doesn't see why it shouldn't get cat privileges: https://www.instagram.com/p/BF5QWB8Po-o/

Every spring I think about starting a gardening blog. I never do, because I don't have the energy, but every year I think about it. I take a lot of pictures of my garden but they are not the kind of pictures that are interesting to people who don't garden. Still, now that DW has image hosting, I think about how easy it would be to blog about gardening here. Would you be interested?

I would; I do some garden blogging here, but am not likely to start a separate gardening blog even if I get more serious about the gardening.

[boxofdelights]

Thanks for the reassurance!

I would be interested in seeing gardening posts, and would think encouraging thoughts in your direction, but probably wouldn't comment much. My gardening is... casual.

[boxofdelights]

It's good to know that you're interested, even if you don't comment.

I love seeing photos of stuff people do,* so I'd like to see your garden photos. Especially if you talk about them. If you started a garden blog, that'd be fine too. It's your time/space to do what you like with it.

*This has nothing to do with the WC Fields quote about having no problem with work: I can watch it for hours.

[boxofdelights]

That is a good point.

[umadoshi]

I like looking at/reading about people's gardens. ^_^

[boxofdelights]

Okay, I will give it a try!

[eeyorerin]

I would be!

[boxofdelights]

Excellent.

[jesse_the_k]

I would def admire. But no pressure.

Also, Baby Animal Gifs is a lifesaver.

[boxofdelights]

Thanks!

I would be very interested! Also, in case it might ping your fancy, there's also a gardening comm here on DW that's picked up a bit since the recent influx.

Also: Hi! Hi there, you. I am also gardening. Isn't spring grand? :-)

[boxofdelights]

Hi! It is! Are you still having spring wildflower bloom where you are? Is it epic?

[randomdreams]

Yes I would be interested, and how does dreamwidth manage photo hosting?

[boxofdelights]

Thanks! and I see you figured out the photo hosting.

I'm using flickr, which I'm increasingly uncertain about, as regards its long-term viability. Like LJ, it appears to be a dying breed.

I would absolutely read about your gardening! Go for it!

[boxofdelights]

Great!

Oh, this is wonderful! I shared it with my sweetie and I think it made his day, esp with the pun.

Have you seen this: http://star-anise.tumblr.com/post/159921850034 ?

I'm not particularly interested one way or the other about gardening, but I like seeing what people are doing and gardens are nice and pictures are nice. And you won't attract other gardening-interested people if you don't post about it, so you totally should.

I just ask that if a post has more than one picture or if you have more than one picture post per calendar day, that all but one are put behind cuts, so it doesn't make my reading page super slow to load on my pokey old machine; and that photos not behind cuts are no wider than, like, 700px so it doesn't break the standard reading page layouts.

[boxofdelights]

Those are good guidelines.

[beaq]

I would sure read that content, when I read!

[boxofdelights]

Okay then!
