As of today I have been blogging for two years.
Two years!
I thought about writing a nice thank you post to all of you wonderful people who take the time to see what I’ve had to say. I thought of telling you all that comments make my day bright and sunshiny with rainbows and singing birds. Of how I wish that all you lovely people who take the time to stop by and read are visited by leprechauns bearing gold, surrounded by pink and purple butterflies and live lives free of athletes foot… And while that’s all true, it’s a bit overly sentimental for my tastes.
Then I thought I should give away something. All sorts of blogs give things away, like cameras, and ipads… then reality struck. Reality continued to rear it’s ugly head as I realized that even a nicely priced packet of flower seeds still needs to go in the mail. Which would mean a visit to the post office. It would be sad and pathetic to intend to give away something and then never actually get it in the mail.
I try not to be sad and pathetic. So, I did the only sensible thing left to do.
I made chocolate cupcakes.
The girls and ate them in celebration of two years of fun, story sharing, picture taking, sanity saving blogging.
We shared them with you all in spirit, and they were just as tasty as barley flour cupcakes can be.
Thanks for visiting and may you all be as happy as Jane!
Behind the Willows 
I hear you on the comments making your day brighter. I love comments on my blog too. I am sorry I haven’t made comments lately. I have been reading your posts!
Congratulations on your two years! I am looking forward to many more years of your wonderful photos and stories!
Love, Jenny
Thanks Jenny, you are absolved of any lapse in comment making when you have a newborn baby! I was excited to see your new posts with all the pictures today!
Thanks for your blog!
I’ve started to read a Muriel Spark book. I must be very easy to influence…I don’t know her and don’t know why there is a Muriel Spark reading week, but there must be a good reason. So far so good.
Easy to influence blog readers are my favorite… now repeat after me, I shall send Jessie Diet Coke and Milky Way bars every Tuesday….
Of course I was easy to influence too, I saw there was Muriel Spark reading week… so I also started reading her. You should post about her book you read on your blog too!
I’ll take smiley pics of Jane anyday! But a chocolate cupcake sounds good too, even with barley. Congrats on the 2 yrs Jessie. I’m gonna keep reading, I love your writing.

Thanks Corky, and thanks for being such a good commenter! Keep it up and I’ll give you a vegan, chocolate, barley, cupcake in person! 🙂
Your title had me wondering if Ivy learned to type… 🙂
Keep up the good work! I learn things about you from your blog even though I talk to you almost everyday!
Well if I told you everything on the phone how would I get you to read my blog! 😛
Wow, two years! That’s awesome! I sure enjoy your stories and pictures. My favorite time to read your blog is when I have too much work to do on the computer and I just can’t seem to get started. Like…er…say…um…now. 🙂 But then after I read and laugh and smile, then I can start my work!
Excellent, I love that I can help you with your procrastination. Since it’s a specialty of mine it’s nice to be able to help out others with it as well! 🙂
