Gemini, Gemini

I started blogging about five years ago, although this incarnation goes back only to 2006.

Few people knew about the first blog and I abandoned it after a year. I switched to AOL Journals but dumped that after two years.

Anonymity has always been a preference, and when I switched to Blue Country Magic I thought I would remain anonymous and no one would be the wiser.

However, I am too honest a person to maintain any semblance of self-secrecy for long. Once I linked to a couple of my articles the secret was out. And while you can't easily find this blog as being mine, once you've found the blog you can easily find out it belongs to me, if you can follow that.

I like to read local blogs, which were few in 2003 but are now prolific. And often when I comment it is obvious I am local because I know the local things. (Of course I read non-local blogs, too.)

Today is my birthday. Monday, June 2, was my husband's birthday.

We are both Gemini. He is the steady side of this astrological sign. His is a firefighter, a farmer, and a septic tank installer. He believes in hard work. At this very moment is he mowing the yard.

He likes NASCAR racing, getting dirty, tractors, cows and other manly things.

I'm the, um, not so steady one. I am a writer, a thinker, a reader and a creator (photographer). At various times I have also been a legal secretary, a paralegal, and a machine parts salesperson. I like poetry, good books, mild weather, learning about almost anything and watching people and animals.

I try not to use names on this blog, not my own or my friends. I still value anonymity and privacy and all of that. Today, though I will make an exception.



This is James. Happy 49th Birthday, my love.



This is Anita. Happy 45th Birthday to me.

  9. Happy birthday to my dear friend for over a decade. I recall those AOL for Win3.1 years. I've watched you grow so much over the years yet I've never seen your picture until today ... I guess I didn't need to since I already knew you well.

  11. Happy Belated Birthday to both of you, Anita! (I've been remiss in my blog reading and writing for a couple of weeks) June 8th was also my Daddy's birthday.
    I'm so happy to see the face behind your words. Though I've gotten behind lately on visiting my blog friends, I always enjoy catching up on what's going on in your life. Thanks for sharing even more of yourself with us!
