Title: Blog now starting its seventh year
Post by: tillie on May 01, 2012, 11:05:48 pm: As of today, my blog begins its seventh continuous year - close to 1000 posts - should be there by the end of May. I've had tons of visitors, lots of links (Google says that 135,000 links to my blog exist on the Internet!)

Mostly I'm writing today to say thank you to all of you out there on this forum who visit, post, and comment. There are, again according to Google, 6,700 links on the Beemaster forum over the past six years to various blog posts of mine. I've linked some of those, but most come from other folks, so I am very grateful for the support and fellowship of all of you. What a great forum!

I know I've been a little scarce this year - new grandbaby (that makes three), teaching, and all the many ways I am involved in Georgia beekeeping eat up my hangout on the Internet time.....but I do care about all of you and appreciate all that you have given me over these past six years.

Anybody not familiar with Lindas blog should at least check the sections on crush and strain and the homegrown beetle trap.

I still check your blog every week to see what you are up to. I feel a kinship with you Linda because we are both Sagittarius and both started our bees on the exact same day in April.

Thanks for all you do.

Love
Annette
