Thank you!

  I appreciate your feedback regarding your blog preferences… I remember when I first started this blog I was so excited about the music feature.  Well… that gets real old.. visiting a blog and listening to the same music over and over again can turn a person right off.   I removed it as soon as I figured that out.  I’ve also never liked ads right in my face… we get enough of that in the outside world, don’t we?   I’ve been approached by companies who would like me to advertise on this blog, but always say no.  This is a place for me to journal the happenings on this farm and family.  It’s also an opportunity to connect and share with all of you.  And that’s all I’m gonna say about that –

OH.. one more thing.  So many of you leave really nice or hilarious or informative comments and I’d love to respond. However, you’ve got that feature turned off and so I can’t tell you how thoughtful your comment was and how much I appreciate it.  Maybe that’s for a reason, and that’s OK.   But if you are unaware and want replies to comments sent to your e-mail… you need to do this…

  1. Hey girl! Been thinking about you and just wanted to stop by. Isn't that frustrating when you can't comment back to someone? I just enabled the 'reply' feature on my comments so that I can reply there, and it's like a threaded comment – it's pretty cool and it's great that I can comment back – only draw back is that they have to come BACK to read it. : -( Thanks for not having any music – I just can't stand that – I mean – how can you READ with that going on?

  2. Karen – I love your blog just the way it is. Some blogs have too much going on and I find it distracts me, which isn't hard to do 🙂

  4. Too many ads on some blogs… and I leave without reading or commenting. Guess all those BIG blogs only want the hit they get from our visit anyway, so lots of those I simply don't visit at all anymore. They started out as pretty little blogs like yours and mine and now are only money making engines. I understand that some of those gals need to money to support themselves, and I can understand that…. but still… they won't be making any money off of me. bleh.

    And music? I think I took my music off three or 4 years ago. It's annoying…. do you hear that ladies? Take the music off your blogs because it's really only there because YOU like it and not your readers.

  6. I've always enjoyed coming to your blog. I'm glad you figured out who I was and visited me. I will cherish your comments.

  8. i keep 3 ad spots on my blog as the few clicks they get helps to offset the cost of frames and postage on my drawing giveaways. i hope they're not too intrusive.

  9. I would say with the way your not so "little" blog has grown over the years- that you definitely have it figured out! I love my visits here 🙂

  10. I'm with you on the comment responses. It frustrates me when I can't reply, after someone has taken the time to leave a comment. Also, when someone follows and their profile doesn't have a link to their blog and I can't find them.

  11. Karen, thanks for the tip. I turned my music off long ago… and find that I don't listen to much anymore on people's blogs. I like your header photo!

  14. Yes, it's me. The always late commenter. :/ Took 2 pieces of advice as they made a lot of sense. Removed my music. And showed my email address. The first one I didn't realize was so annoying until I went to my own sight and turned my sound up. Yikes. Who can read with that going on?? And I actually thought I did have my email showing but when I checked, sure enough, it wasn't. Anyway, THANK YOU! Have a nice day!

  15. One more thing. Thank you sooo much for not having all of those ads competing for attention. AND for keepin it real.
