Blogging from A to Z Challenge: A is for… (#AtoZChallenge)
Welcome to my April 2024 Great and Powerful Blogging from A to Z Challenge!
I’ve revealed my theme (A poem a day…with picture), and of course, I am unashamedly blogging my theme letters on the fly. So, here goes nothing!
So, without further ado, A is for ... Acrostic– A poem where the first letter of every line spells a subject word the content refers to.
Without a doubt, this is a silly one to start the month, but I’m ok with that!
Every day
Lying content by the fire.
Leaping to rest on the couch. Finally
Indulgent of curling
On laps,
Till he’s done.

Thanks for visiting my 2024 A to Z Challenge – Letter A.
Guess I’m kind of going rogue too…although I do like using the “official” letters…

Blogging from A to Z Challenge: 2024 Theme Reveal!
Welcome to the Great and Powerful Blogging from A to Z 2023 Theme Reveal!
This is the 13th or 14th year of the challenge, I can’t rightly remember which, and I’ve been a participant since 2014. Like last year, and every other year, I will be writing my posts on the fly!
Before I reveal my 2024 theme, here are themes from challenges past:
- 2014: I blogged about our house, and the befores and afters of the renos we did and changes we made after buying it.
- 2015: I blogged about interesting places in Victoria (all close to home).
- 2016: I blogged about learning to use my DSLR
- 2017: I blogged about my ‘hood in Welcome to James Bay!
- 2018: I blogged about the wonderful world of wabi-sabi in photographs.
- 2019: I blogged about A picture-story a day (in the life, so to speak)
- 2020: I blogged about female photographers
- 2021 I blogged Photos and Stories
- 2022 I blogged Photo editing apps!
- 2023 I blogged My life in first drafts!
This year, it’s the exciting theme of: A poem a day (with a picture)! And coincidentally, April is Poetry Month too!
So, I will see you on later today for my first post! Thanks to This That and the Other for the Going Rogue badge!

Pull Up a Seat Challenge – 2024 Week 13
Welcome to XingfulMama’s Pull Up a Seat Challenge
“As I get older I find myself more and more often looking for a place to perch when I am out and about. This might be a chair, a bench, a wall, a pew…maybe even a log or a rock. These spots can be artfully designed, quirky or very plain, sometimes they have a view, sometimes you meet someone else who needs a rest.”
