Blog Under Construction

 

Doorway in Guilford, CT, taken two years and a day ago.

This is an (Amost) Wordless Wednesday post, but it's difficult for me to be wordless. My giveaway schedule was to announce the winners today, but in the interim, Buttercupland is getting a major "tweak." It may not look it, but changes are here. The content remains the same -- my life in New York, books, coffee and travel -- but the look will be totally updated by my blogger buddy, My Fairy Blog Mother, who is truly my fairy blog mother and possibly, the most patient person in the entire country. I'm not sure when it will be done, but there will be a celebration. 

What else is going on? Our mayoral race is a mess, it's 96 and possibly going to 100 and Con Edison, our electric provider has asked the neighborhood to cut down electric usage. I'm keeping the iPad charged and putting a few extra water bottles in the freezer. I've got 1.7 miles to reach my half-year 500 miles walked goal and I'm not pushing it. 498 miles will be close enough for me today. 

As ever, thanks for visiting and keep cool!

So far, it looks like your blog redesign is off to a great start, Carol. It's just as hot here in NH.

Your blog looks great. How fun. I have been in the hospital and have been absent from commenting.

Change is good and your blog looks great! Mine looks the same as it did in 2009:) Perhaps I need a change too. Enjoy your day dear friend, HUGS!

It's been very hot here too, but today we're seeing some relief with temps in the mid 70's. Whew! Good you are getting prepared and I hope you don't have a loss of power. Keeping some water frozen is a great idea. Take good care and keep cool and hydrated.

What a surprise - that house is only a few miles from where we live! I don't believe the door is still that color. I'm pretty sure it's a dove gray.

It's hot here, too. I'm beginning a very intimate relationship with the air conditioning vents.

I'm so impressed that you're revamping your blog. I haven't updated/changed mine in 10-12 years. LOL

Stay cool, hydrated and relaxed!

A nice fresh look to your blog, Carol, and one day I may make changes or start an entirely new bog. I wondered if the redo was costly and did you provide inout as well to the designer. Also, didnyou buy a domain name? Questions, Inknow, but perhaps others would also be interested in knowing more. Happy 🇺🇸💥weekend to you.

Your blog looks nice. What was wrong with the old look? Just curious.
Hopefully, cooler temps are on the way. You have a super Holiday weekend. Hugs, Edna B.
