Another Year (2012)

DateTuesday, August 7, 2012 at 1:34AM |

My blog turns 2 years old today!

What to do to celebrate?  Last year I held three raffle contests.  The first raffle was for my blogging friends.  The second raffle was for the people who "liked" my Facebook page.  The third raffle was for my Twitter followers.

This year, I thought a sort of recap would be appropriate.  You are too many to mention individually but I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you plant and garden bloggers who make my green blogosphere and feedburner so much more interesting.  Special thanks go out to:

Once upon a time when digital cameras were not yet invented there was a thing called film. After clicking the shutter button to take pictures, you bring the film to a photo shop to have it developed. You will be asked to choose the type of paper for your photos and usually you will be given two options matte or glossy. Things were more complicated in the past.

Last time I heard, film was already included in Appendix III of CITES (Read: threatened with extinction).
