Reading and Pruning

What do reading and pruning bushes have to do with each other?  Probably nothing, but then again, maybe a lot. I was so busy pruning bushes yesterday my reading is way behind.  With over 400 sites on my Google Reader it doesn't take long for that to occur.

However, my amur maple has been successfully whacked down about half in two.   I was wishing for a chain saw about an hour into the job instead of my clippers and hand pruning saw.  Thank goodness my husband handles the hauling away of piles.  There's two more truck loads of red twig dogwood lurking inside the fence and I haven't even started in on the three acres of trees.  It's a good thing I LOVE to prune!!

Some great reading is listed below the pics and a plea for help...

 

 

There were so many outstanding articles that caught my eye.  One such article that is a must read is from Father Longenecker When is Religion Not Religion?

Another came from Carol at Potluck Bloggers Bill Bennett Misses the Point.

Just look at the lineup of powerful women bloggers all gathered together in one site.  It makes my heart beat faster.

Introducing the ladies of Potluck:

• Adrienne's Corner
• And So it Goes in Shreveport
• Backyard Conservative
• Bread upon the Waters
• Carol's Closet
• Coffee Milk Conservative
• Fuzzy Logic
• No Sheeples Here
• Obi's Sister
• Politicaljunkie Mom
• Pundit & Pundette
• Ruby Slippers
• Shout First, Ask Questions Later

Don't be impressed because I'm listed first - it's alphabetical.  So while all these very bright and articulate women, who know all there is to know about commas (unlike moi), are busily blogging away, I'm still trying to log onto our WP practice site.

So the question is:  What the h*ll am I doing wrong??  It took me almost a week for WP to even acknowledge my account and allow me to reset my password.  Now it won't let me log onto the practice site.  As a huge believer in Occam's Razor, I'm thinking the solution is probably very simple.  Anyone??
