Do you remember the year I spent taking a picture of the Daily View? Every day.
Here it is again. A lot has changed since that year. I need to go back and see what year that was. But it is getting late and I have already spent to much time making my To Do list this morning. As you can imagine Lots to Do.
So much has grown since the year of the Daily View too. I am into the fifth year of blogging now. (Four years in July) The Fellowship of the Farmy has grown to 4,812. I have created 1,491 Posts in that time. You have created 90,625 comments. We have had 1,271,101 visits. And (once again let me remind you) I have NEVER been Freshly Pressed. We did this all on our own you and I.
Not bad for the wee Farmy and her Fellowship.
Blogging every day (except for the odd day off) has become part of my fabric. You have become part of my landscape.
Maybe I will reinstate the Daily View and the Daily Temperatures. At one time I even posted at dawn every day. Have I become lazy or just more organic. And delightfully things are slowing down enough that I can think about these things again.
The other thing I have more time for now is hanging out in the Lounge of Comments with you all. I love the comments lounge. I read every single comment and now I will have time to answer you all again. I almost always go visiting From the comments lounge, to see what you are doing too, so if you create a blog page you would like to share leave a short comment here or on my FaceBook page (see below). This summer was so busy I lost touch with much of what has been happening. We need to bring me up to date again!
GET TO WORK CECILIA! NO more sitting around chatting!
Love, love

I envy your to-do list. I seem to run on the fuck-it list. I cross off more line-items that way.
Hmm I must run over my list again – using your method! just to be sure.. c
You are the busiest lady I know – not a moment wasted and always ideas for something new to do or think about!
Soon i will not be as busy – it is getting easier every day – once the last of the visitors has come and gone i am going to fall in a heap! c
The Daily View was such fun! It must have been at least two years ago…maybe three??? Until that awful storm did damage to the tree and treehouse! They both look at bit forlorn in the photo above. Perhaps some Tibetan prayer flags flying, or Ivy climbing up might perk up the tree a bit? Not sure if I have any prayer flags from my time in Asia. I will look!
Prayer flags! what a lovely idea.. c
I always check your blog first before all my emails. My blog is not so regular but I can share it with our fellowship – thegardenladyofga.wordpress.com I’m an organic gardener with 93 beds, a food forest orchard, an internship program and an interest in herbs (over 100 herbs growing here, mostly medicinal). I live in NE Georgia with a wonderful husband and 3 cats. I’m a 1700’s re-enactor, a homesteader, an herbalist, a fiber artist/spinner/quilter/knitter/crocheter/embroiderer, a writer, researcher, and volunteer minister. I love what you do Celi, and enjoy all the stories about critters and life on the farm. YOU GO GIRL!
Thank you Di.. c
Gorgeous pics of the pigs! Love smiling Sheila! ❤
{What is Freshly pressed Celi?}
Her clothing is not freshly pressed. Love, Gayle
Freshly Pressed is a WordPress award – if you write something really special they put your blog on their front page thereby advertising you to thousands of other bloggers. Some of the bloggers here have been Freshly Pressed it is a rather lovely way of highlighting Stand Out blogs. But I have always felt pleased that we all found each other with out the help of the powers that be. The old fashioned way. c
Had a day off yesterday – a computer free day. Thanks for explaining that “Freshly Pressed”. Didn’t know either. – Congrats to that achievement with your blogging, Celi.
I agree with you, Celi, word of mouth is the best advertising.
Well there you go! Thanks Celi 🙂 ❤
{Clearly I have never been freshly pressed either! haha}
😆
Ahhhh! Many thanks Gayle ❤
I loved the Daily View! I wish I had the commitment to do a little more blogging. I have fallen off that cart in a big way this year!
Oh No – you work full time and farm full time on top of it. And I see you here ! A little more blogging will come when it is ready.. c
You have the best views in the country which is why I stop by each day. I like the idea of blogging more organically. Letting the rhythm unfold rather than another “must do”. You have plenty of those. I too love the slower feel of autumn and winter. Now I think I’ll start the coffee and crawl back under the covers until it smells done. Funny how each day has it’s own rhythm and flow. Have a wonderful day on your farmy.
I hope you had a lovely sleep in!! c
I’ve been following you since 2013, and things have evolved even in that time. The nature of the Lounge has changed a little; we talk more to each other now, as well as to you, and it’s a lot of fun, as well as a source of comfort, support, ideas and endless amusement. Thank you for today’s lovely shots of the darling piggies, and I’m really looking forward to seeing what you’re going to do next! And you know where to find out what’s happening in Chiconia!
I love how everyone is relaxed enough to have real time exchanges in the Lounge.. I love it when i come in from puddling about outside and you are all talking to each other.. like a real group of friends around a cuppa! c
Ditto, to Kate. except that I’ve been following since just after the start, and I read back, too.
Lovely to see the changes in the Daily View.
love,
ViV
I like reading back too Viv. In fact sometimes I surprise myself when I read what i have written in days past.. c
I enjoy (love) what you serve up everyday and still look forward to the next days post too. I whole heartedly agree with katechiconi, but the community has developed and evolved due to your tireless effort and encouragement. Pat yourself on the back 🙂 Laura
And patting you straight back laura, your support is wonderful. c
Things have been a bit…busy…here the last few days. The newest granddaughter has arrived and her name will be one that not only marks the unique individual I know she will be, but will also be a forever reminder of Miss C and this blog. Here is a link to her birth announcement on my own blog…just about 2 hours old at the time.
Oh! Cecelia Mae is beautiful. Was she really born in water? Amazing! Congratulations, Grandmother!
Thank you! And yes she was born into her mama and daddy’s hands at home in a birthing tub 🙂
She’s a lovely, healthy looking newborn. Congratulations! And her name is perfect, up to and including Mae. Love, Gayle
Thank you!
Congratulations grandma!! how simply stunning.. c
Congratulations to Grandma! – I was so touched by the photograph of the newborn and enlarged family. All adoring the little one. It’s so full of love and harmony. All my good wishes to Mae and her family, Deb!
Thank you!
I know life is hectic and sometimes we are dragged thru the mud (rather than putting our wellies on and charging into the mud ourselves), but you, and the farmy have been part of my daily life since probably somewhere close to the beginning. Can’t imagine mornings without you. I too read most of the comments, and should really take more time to comment myself. I’ll try to be better. 😀
No No. Just comment when you want to. There is NO pressure here. I know you are there. Take care darling girl..c
Season’s change is well under way here….varnishing windows and shutters, putting the garden to bed and building a shed….my very first shed:)
Oh MY. A shed! That is marvellous.. not a cave then? c
How about a daily view of Sheila 😉
Sheila would be more than happy as long as I make sure to take it from her Good Side. She has such a smile that girl..
I have been hanging out in this lounge for several years. Celi, you are a gifted writer and your posts often blow me away. Meeting different bloggers and reading their comments has been fun and entertaining.
I enjoy cooking and that’s what I blog about. Occasionally I write about my travels.
It has been fun getting to know you all.
Your cooking is great too! have a lovely evening Gerlinde.. c
