A is for April

 April is here, and time for Wally's birthday, Easter, Earth Day, and the A-Z Blogging Challenge, when I will attempt to publish a post every day in April except for Sundays. This conveniently comes out to 26 days-one for every letter of the alphabet.

I first participated in this challenge in 2015 and have continued every year except for 2017 and 2020. In 2017, I was involved with my elderly mother's care, and, well, we all know April 2020 was when COVID began terrorizing the world. Both years were stressful times, and I don't know if I even thought about the A-Z challenge. But the other years, I have usually made a last-minute decision, like this year, to participate. If you read here often, you know that I am not a prolific blogger, and halfway through April, I suffer from blogging fatigue big time during the challenge. Last year, I thought I might do better with a theme, so I chose fruits and vegetables. However, I still had problems coming up with content, even with a theme. But I like to finish things, so I have always battled through to the end. And the interesting thing is that some of my favorite posts were written during these challenges.

So here it goes. Join me if you like.
