B is for _______________
BLOGGER – I must admit, once I started blogging I haven’t looked back. It’s the perfect way for an introvert to engage with others. I truly enjoy the creative outlet that blogging has been for me – and I’m happy that you are all along for the ride!
BARE FEET – My feet love to be without shoes. I don’t mind sandals or flip flops because they’re close to being barefoot. As soon as the weather warms enough in spring I kick off my shoes and they don’t go back on again until it gets frosty in fall.
BOOK WORM – Often, if I have a spare moment of time, you’ll find my nose in a book. Most often, they’re books about some skill I’m trying to master or some area I’d like to learn more about. In the winter, I may even read some fiction when I have a few more minutes of free time. I find reading to be the best entertainment and prefer it over TV any day.
BOUNDLESS – I try to have no bounds to the things I will try, read, taste, or do. I’m always willing to try something new, read books outside of my belief system, taste new foods as I come across them, and do things I’m uncomfortable doing to stretch myself. I am a big believer and pushing your boundaries to build character and stretch your mind – and who knows you may find a new favorite food or hobby!
BROAD – As a result of being boundless, I now have a very broad list of things that I like and am proficient at. I hope that as I get older I continue to broaden my horizons so I don’t get entrenched in ideas/thoughts/foods/patterns/etc.
BUSY – I’m a busy bee. Since I have a job, own a business, have a few other part time hobby jobs I’m busy with work. Add to that all of my hobbies: cooking, gardening, photography, etc and my days are jam packed without a minute to spare. I actually have a huge list of things I want to do and have not had the time to get to them yet (like building a root cellar in my basement and a mud oven in my garden). I don’t mind being busy, it keeps me out of trouble and it makes me feel like I’m maximizing the time that I do have!
BIRD LOVER – I love our little featherd friends that flit about my garden. Growing up I often had pet birds from parakeets to love birds. Now I simply feed the ones in my garden and provide them with water and plants that they love.
BARBARIAN – I’ve mentioned my love for playing the game Diablo with Mr Chiots. In that game my character is a barbarian and I wield a huge maul as my weapon of choice, probably not what you’d expect! Since I’m so busy (as mentioned above) we rarely have time to play anymore. In fact it’s been since Christmas day that we’ve played.
BACON – do I need to expand on this one?

What a great idea. I don’t post daily so I don’t think I’d keep up by playing along, but I looked at everyone’s links to see what they were doing and enjoyed seeing some new blogs.
Yours are well thought out and expressed and your pictures so creative. I’ll be checking back through the month.

Feel free to do a once a week posting of all the letters if that’s easier for you!

Bacon!! I new I forgot one!! LOL
to Candie's comment
I must say, minus the Birdlover and the Barbarian, I think I’d say all the others would be the same for me :)
I try to love things with feathers….really I do. I am more ‘scared’ of them – lol. But we’re getting Chickens in the Spring so I need to get over that fear as fast as possible ;)
to Allison's comment
Guess getting chickens will help with that. I certainly can’t wait to have chickens someday!
to Susy's comment
How could I have forgotten BLOGGER! LOL!! But I did admit that I can be a BRAT at times.
to Judy's comment
Good one – BRAT – think we could all add this to our list!
to Susy's comment
Susy, I think I could just copy yours and it apply to me as well! At least for the most part! :)
to Chas's comment
This exercise has convinced me to bring my computer with me on our short road trip after all, so I can keep playing along!
to Xan's comment
So I guess “Committed” will be on your list of C’s tomorrow!
to Susy's comment
I talked about Berries also!
to Candie's comment
Bergamot – Bee Balm love that smell!
Blanket cover beside the hearth in winter!
Bees that pollinate my garden and make honey!

I agree with you that blogging is perfect for an introvert.

A Beautiful list! I just posted my list, bloggers we are. I’m tempted to post about my blue potatoes later…
Barefoot, that is a good one I forgot. I love feeling the grass between my toes.

B is for … blogger too! Obvious I know but interesting to reflect on where it all began. This challenge is proving to be so thought provoking.
