Settling in on Sunday

I've been so neglectful of all things blog this last month and then I saw over at Sprite's Keeper that the spin topic this week is "behind the scenes of a blog." Among other prompts, Jen says "How do you keep your blog going when, you know, life gets in the way?"

I thought maybe if I started to write about it, I might figure out how to rev the blog back up.

The ideas chattering away made me think perhaps it was a post that might need to be done in parts.

But I've been grading.

And walking.

Today Daughter and I drove down to the beach I walked to yesterday. It is 3.2 miles.

So instead of Part One, you all get to see how BC makes friends at the beach.

Is that cute or what?

    I love how patient BC is with the wee one.

    Adorable!

    (Taking a break during Lent, myself. Sundays don't count ;-)

    Walking is good. Looking forward to Part One.

    Totally understandable :) I took a month off and still feel like I can't get in gear!

    And LOVED that video!! BC is so good with the little girl.

    Border Collies are so smart and cool. I love that little girl's chubby legs. I tried to break and kept on, I sort of wish I'd taken that time off. There's always tomorrow, I suppose. :)

    BC seems like a sweetie... even I probably couldn't hate that dog.

    With such beautiful child around, and a full time job that creates more work than most, you are fully engaged every moment. Glad you share yourself and your life with us.

    Too cute! BC is very good and patient--and got the reward in the end (ball, yes!). Thanks for sharing.

    BC is such a good pup! I think it's sweet how he befriended the little girl. Just ease into the blog as you feel it. Moving is a big change!

    I'm sure you'll get back in to the swing of things. I'm having a bit of trouble lately myself.

    I can see how BC would come in handy. He is super awesome. What a good dog.

    Oh wow! Riley is waaaay too hyper, hahaha. He'd be jumping up trying to lick the little girl's face. BC is a true gentleman. :)

    BC is adorable! That is very, very sweet - Scooter would have either ignored her or been all up in her face.

    Wow, both the kid and BC were really well behaved there! Now, LG would have thrown his arms around BC's neck and forgotten all about the ball.

    I think February should have been called "Blog Funk" month. We were all a little off our game.

    I find that walking HELPS with the writing. I walk for miles and miles and then I come home and bang...thirty minutes and I have three blogs written!

    Your puppy was awfully patient, waiting for the little girl to figure out how to "throw" the ball. Still waiting for a behind-the-scenes look at your blog, though...real life has been getting in the way of my online life, too!
