Where Have All Of My Subscribers Gone

I am not sure what is going on here in Blogville. Yesterday I had 473 subscribers and this morning I checked and now I have only 30. Was it something that I said??? Does my breath smell...I used Scope!!! I put on clean undies!!!! So what's up. It appears that quite a number of bloggers have lost quite a number of subscribers. They seem to all be from the Google Reader Feed. If you have subscribed to my blog via Google Reader, check and see if you are getting my latest feeds and let me know if you are or if you aren't getting my latest updated feeds. If you aren't, you might want to subscribe again. Hopefully Google will fix the Google Reader feed problem soon.

The First Flowers Of The Year

With Spring time upon us, I have been starting to do my outside yard work. I mowed the yard for the first time of the year and boy was it tough. The grass was pretty high so it took me a while to get it done. I have also placed the mulch in all of the gardens and I planted a couple of Hostas around our Weeping Cherry tree in the front yard. Last but not least...I got the fountain and lights set up for the year. I always turn the fountain and fountain lights off during the winter months. I actually pull the under water lights out of the fountain along with the pump. I store them in a plastic container on the ground, in the garden, right next to the fountain itself. I also end up painting the fountain sections every year...just to keep them fresh looking. I hope that you enjoy the first flowers of the year...all daffodils.

Things That Go Boom In The Night Part 2

More information and an answer as to what caused "the event", that occurred on Sunday night, has surfaced. It appears that it was not a meteor but rather an exploding piece of space junk from the second stage of a Russian Soyuz rocket falling back to Earth. There is actually someone at the Naval Observatory that keeps track of this type of space junk. According to document listings for debris that were expected to enter the lower atmosphere from their decaying orbits around this time period, a listing was found that the second stage of the Soyuz rocket that launched last Thursday was slated to hit the earth during a window that started at 8 p.m. ET Sunday. My only question would be...if they know that a piece of this space junk is coming down, why did someone not mention it and make the info public. It would have saved an awful lot of people from making and receiving tons of telephone calls not to mention any safety issues that could have possibly been involved.
