At the risk of sounding like a stalker when I think about my appalling lack of blogging and blog reading I often think of you, and how I must make the time to visit your blog. I'm afraid my only excuse is that with our move to the farm and resulting lifestyle change spare time is a thing of the past. Mind you I should pull my socks up and make the time - a new year resolution in August :)<br />That aside I do wonder if perhaps the change in blogging is in part due to the growing number of other social media platforms and apps, many of which are designed around the brevity of interactions - 140 characters, 1 photograph...and as a result life and interactions have sped up and become even more thinly spread. A sad state of affairs indeed.<br />I've just read through the other comments - and I'm with Pia, I like the quiet of your blog too :) Elsa Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13652787657325357638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5232927064230838150.post-32711078725146770752015-08-10T08:03:35.174-07:002015-08-10T08:03:35.174-07:00Thank you for reading, Nicole.Thank you for reading, Nicole.Denise https://www.blogger.com/profile/08269617590521412393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5232927064230838150.post-86050242678537101302015-08-10T04:03:35.143-07:002015-08-10T04:03:35.143-07:00I guess we all follow the forces of ebb and flow i...I guess we all follow the forces of ebb and flow in life, that's how it is for me anyway, and part of that are those quiet moments.

It's become harder for me to blog frequently---now only 2 times a month, average. When I look back at the "peak" of my blogging, in 2010/11 it was every week, peppered with many comments, and so forth. I think about the ebb and flow, the cycles of things. Change. I'll keep blogging, when I can. Like everyone who has commented here, I enjoy my visits to Chez Danisse.nancy at good food mattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14498979861284571305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5232927064230838150.post-58676480937778569952015-08-08T10:11:01.589-07:002015-08-08T10:11:01.589-07:00I always enjoy coming here, Denise.

The conversations shifted over to Flickr at first...but that seems less trendy now. Instagram...twitter...facebook... All forums that work for others but not for me. Summer always is a quieter time with folks enjoying time away from the computer (as it should be!). So I watch the shifts in myself and others but all the while remain grateful for the connections I have through my space even though they are few... This is very similar to my life outside the nets and that quiet suits me fine.
