Hello from Town Hall

HELLO!

This is kj, the laid back mayor of Blogland Lane who is content to let our collective blog chug along at two miles an hour.

BUT NOW:

Since Mr. Bear is going to be posting his photos and since Mim is experimenting with her Water Lily Girls, is anyone interested in having a gallery show of anything: photos, paintings, poems, stories, collages, anything?!

And maybe we should talk about the large nest that has mysteriously appeared in the northern corner of Blogland Lane...

Love
kj

IN WHICH BEAR TRIES SOMETHING NEW

Well, it has been an interesting summer. Don't have much to say except that I came out of hibernation in March, they went back to sleep until April. Then I got up, and did, well, things a Bear would normally do, like eat and sleep. And try to stay out of trouble. (That is difficult for me.)

Anyhow, over the summer, I was doing this and that, and waiting for hibernation until next spring.

But.

Have you ever notice how quiet it is around Blogland Lane? Beautiful houses, delightful shops and the like. But nobody seems to be here. Not even the Blogland Lane Municipal Office. All so very strange.

Anyhow, Bear decided to change that. Maybe.

Bear is going to start putting up photos. In front of my tent, and over to the side a bit (so they don't get too smoky from the fire). At least one a week. And after I've got a few up, um, well, . . . I'm not sure what will come next. 

And I'll see if I can set out some tea with hunny, and maybe some cookies. (Humans like cookies; I know that for a fact.)

Anyhow, it has been snowing up in the hills, so I thought I would start with a snow picture.

That does look kinda blizzardy, doesn't it?

The other thing that came to mind, just now, was a quotation. Something about stating things. Oh, yes: "The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." That was from a chap somewhere in Asia, named, . . . named, . . . ah, yes! His name was Lao-tzu. I think. Anyhow, I've taken the first step, and there will be more.

Blessings and Bear hugs to all!

Second test

I tried a new app for the iPhone to do posts and managed to get it to post...but on the wrong blog. (blogland!). So I'm trying this again.

I've been working on the water lily pics, redid the turtle one so that it looks more like they are on water and a new one with the kayak ( work in process) and talking to the fishes in color.

Hope this posts!

Test from iPad

I'm testing a new app that is really for the iPhone but I'm trying it on the iPad. I've been working on the Water Lily pics this week - see what you think!

Signing Limited Edition

Numbered and signed copies of  Death Bed are now available on http://www.noexit.co.uk/dbspecial/ My publisher made sure none of the books was left unsigned.

IN WHICH BEAR RETURNS TO BLOGLAND LANE.

If you wonder where Bear has been, the answer is "Hibernating."

Actually, Bear has been trying to hibernate. But the weather has been too warm for that.

So Bear will try hibernating at Blogland Lane, and see what happens.

"See you in the spring," said Bear.
