For those of you wondering whether I had been laid low by illness, incarcerated for some trespass violation while skulking about for smallmouth bass, or had simply thrown dog and gear into the pickup and headed for the hills on a gypsy campout…Riverdaze's recent unannounced hiatus was due to those unfathomable technical difficulties.
As most of you probably know already, Blogger went down Thursday afternoon. For many of us, our blogs remained lost and in limbo until late Friday. Most of my blog returned late Friday night. However, all comments and posts made both Wednesday and Thursday had been temporarily removed and stored somewhere until the Blogger gurus got everything back up and running smoothly.
Though my post from Thursday (on queen snakes) returned on Saturday evening, all comments and replies from Wednesday and Thursday remained missing. Blogger said these, too, would be restored over the weekend.
Alas, so far those missing comments and replies have not materialized. I suspect they've been banished to some digital purgatory, never to reappear again. However, because a copy of any comment to my posts, plus my reply, is always saved to my email account once I post the comment/reply, I was able to restore what I think are the missing materials. Both comment and reply appear as a single comment entry from me. (But note: if I hadn't yet posted the comment/reply to the blog, there would be no email copy and thus I would not have a record.) So if you made a comment and neither it nor a reply is up there, doubtless your missive slipped through the cracks.
Anyway, Riverdaze is back up, things are now good, damage was minimal, I'm happy, and my grass needs mowing…but won't be until who-knows-when because rain is predicted through Thursday.

Nahhhhh, I'm fine, the river's fine, and the only gripe I have is it's too confounded cold and gray and rainy. I was so chilled and bummed I had a hearthfire this evening and a bowl of homemade soup. I want more spring, not a backtrack to winter. Wildflowers and warblers and smallmouth bass.
Haha..know exactly what you mean..my cure for that is hiking the more vertical deer trails..come join me on a couple of those an your weather perspective will change ol' man!;) And rain droplets on petals make for some excellent images!Like a wet Golden ragwort shining like the sun in the gloomy green big woods!That will warm you up!Peace.

Hey, I know all about warming your blood via those vertical deer trails. I've spent many a winter day—some in double-digits below zero—clambering up the steep hills of southeastern Ohio in search of partridge. Grouse hunting is a mysterious endeavor in which, regardless of the direction you take and the laws of average, 99 steps out of 100 are invariably uphill…and when you take that one in the other direction you generally miss, slip, fall on your butt, and slide over a cliff and into a patch of sawbriars.
On the other hand, rainy days do make for some lovely photos—the light is nice and soft, eliminating harsh shadows and making for good color saturation. If only I weren't such a wuss…
