And on the 96th day, it finally rained...

and then it snowed a little, then it rained again, and then the sun came out.

I've heard from several of you recently that your comments are not showing up.
While Blogger has never played well with certain browsers and devices,
the problem seems to have worsened in the past few weeks.
It may have something to do with an Apple product update, but I don't know for certain.  

Rest assured that while I moderate the comments to protect us all from Russian bots,
I publish all the legitimate ones that appear in my "awaiting moderation" folder.
Some legitimate comments have been showing up in my "spam" folder.
When I mark them as "not spam," they're supposed to go to the "awaiting moderation" folder, 
but they disappear completely instead.
My current workaround is to copy and paste them into the comments section.
Meanwhile, I'll be looking at alternative comment platforms, like Disqus, 
to see if there's a better way.

  3. Mercy, it's been so long since we've seen a raindrop or snowflake! So sorry that cow didn't make it.

  5. Yay for rain, snow, rain...sun. Sometime back awhile ago, as they like to say in the Midwest, I found that my comments could not be published in Safari, but work fine in Chrome. Don’t know if that’s part of the issue for commenters, but it worked for me.

  7. Glad glad I’m not the only one ... I haven’t been able to get my comments to post in months. Just want you to know I haven’t abandoned you Carson ... I’m still a faithful reader.

  8. My comments have rarely posted on your blog, but I follow faithfully and every now and then one goes through! It doesn't seem to matter whether I try to comment using my Google account, or my Name/URL or as anonymous. I also use blogger and my followers are experiencing the same problems commenting. It would be nice to get it fixed. By the way, I use Chrome. Oh, and I've noticed problems with copy and paste as well as other things when I'm composing a post, as someone else mentions above.

  9. Happy dances for the precipitation. We are expecting winter weather to come get us today. Rain to ice to snow. Skipping the ice altogether would be nice.

    My reply:
    Johnny isn't sad; he's mad because I'm in the house taking a picture when I should be out feeding him.
