SteemBloPoMo Week Four - checking in and curation (#SteemBloPoMo Day 29)

in #steemblopomo5 years ago (edited)


Today is #SteemBloPoMo Day 29 and we've only got one more day to go! I thought about waiting to do this curation post until after the month was officially up, but then I decided to do Week Four as I've done the other three, then do a final (or is it... 😊) wrap-up post in a few days.

No new participants this week, but another 30 Steem Blog Posting Month posts were uploaded this week, which brings us to 133 #SteemBloPoMo hash tagged posts so far this month!


And as I've said before, while the whole idea (much like the NaNoWriMo concept that inspired it) was to motivate people to post more consistently, I decided at the beginning of the month that a little extra encouragement couldn't hurt. Since then, I've been upvoting and resteeming every post, and each one I curate for this weekly post gets a @TipU tip.

Now here are the most recent posts, in no particular order, in the #SteemBloPoMo feed from @fionasfavourites, @darrenfj, @sustainablelivin (aka @mariannewest), @rwedegis, and myself.

 
 


 
 

Some corners of our garden


by @fionasfavourites

I know I’ve been banging on about no rain, no water and drought and then rain and not having enough water - for about two, no three years. I guess with water as the source of life, it is what it is. That said, we’ve had a bit of good rain; the municipality has partially lifted the water restrictions and the weather’s a little cooler and kinder to the garden. During last year we installed a grey water system, but when there’s only two of you, it really isn’t enough. We, er, The Husband, has persevered with the vegetables; the former stock farmer is beginning to embrace things like crop rotation and, wait for it: companion planting and, wait for it: planting based on the phases of the moon. I kid you not. The nascent scientist in him has seen the benefits: the dill which we’ve never grown successfully, is self-sown from the mother plants grown among last year’s onions and which have appeared in among the Swiss Chard. Then there’s the Italian parsley that was planted between the tomatoes and which is still flourishing.


 
 


 
 

Hopi Burger Anyone?


by @sustainablelivin

Today, my friends, is all about food. We are traveling and since my last time in this area, I wanted to go to the Hopi museum, motel, and restaurant.

Not so much to the motel, but very much to the restaurant. Today was the day and we were not disappointed.

Since we skipped breakfast and got a later start than planned, we were pretty hungry when we arrived. The rules were posted on the Museum and were pretty strict.

by @rwedegis

A Boy and His Ball

Here's another one of my Chocolate Lab Ozzie. This time it's with his favorite tennis ball. He loves tennis ball. If you gave him a box full of different kinds of balls. he would always be able to pick out the tennis ball.

Me too, but somehow, @steemitboard has only noted three. Must have to do with the time zones. So, glutton for punishment that I am, I will carry on until Monday 6th of May

Oh, I didn’t know that Steemitboard is keeping track of posts like that.
