That’s the message Christopher Robin put on the green door of the tree in which he lived (in The House at Pooh Corner) when he was not actually inside the tree.
It has been brought to my attention that I have not been present inside TGOB — which coincidentally has a green background on its home page — for quite some time; that some of my dear virtual friends and followers might be wondering (if not indeed worrying) where I was; and that I should put up a notice to the effect that I have gone fishing.
Unfortunately, I don’t fish. (Except once, when I caught nothing.) But not to wonder, not to worry. I seem to have overwhelmed myself with new undertakings and have always been unable to multi-task so as to fool everyone all of the time that I am on top of everything. I am not on top of everything, and since posts don’t clamor to be written regularly in the same way assignments for regularly meeting classes and lessons and group meetings clamor to be properly prepared, guess what fell by the wayside?
However, if you just hold on a bit longer, I shall be “backson,” as six-year-old Christopher Robin would have put it, as soon as I can. And with more new stuff to read. In the meanwhile, if you’re really bored, you could go try to catch a horrible Heffalump with honey and report back on how that worked out. I’d love to hear.

That sounds so valedictory. I’m not disappearing forever. Just a week or so. Maybe even less. (Keep your fingers crossed.). 😉

well Nina, you are sorely missed. Reading your blogs is like
that shot of caffeine I take in the morning! Its a picker upper!
So perhaps your hiatus will stir that pot and brew some more good stuff!

Now you’re making me feel guilty, Rita — although being missed is (in itself) a lovely feeling, too. What do you consider the “good stuff?” Memoir, musings, day-to-day trivia, dark thoughts? Re-running a pot roast recipe? 😉

I see from the post above that you are back already, but I love this post and being reminded of Christopher Robin. And my current practice notwithstanding, I’m a fan of irregular blog posting–as the spirit moves the blogger : )

Well, irregular posts do seem to be happening to me, so I’m glad you’re a fan of that, Cynthia. Thanks for stopping by and loving Christopher Robin, too!
