I am very sorry that I have not been sending emails in response to all the wonderful comments you leave for me. I love getting comments and I actually have been writing response emails, some of you just haven't been getting them. Why you ask. Well it is because I am a complete and total dork, dumb-ass, goober, etc. Feel free to insert your favorite less than complimentary adjective here _______. Let me explain...
Sometime back in August, I changed from using comment moderation to email notification to keep track of my comments so I could respond to them. It seemed like a great idea, and it would have been if I wasn't so clueless. I loved the email notification because I could just click "reply" to send an email to the people who commented, but like everything that seems to good to be true, this was too.
When I clicked "reply," often the email address was noreply@blogger.com and I thought that was OK. I thought those emails were being sent all the wonderful people who took the time to leave me a little note. How dumb could I be?
Twice yesterday I noticed that when I clicked "reply" there was an actual email address instead of "noreply." So I fired off second emails to Linn and Susan and asked, "Did you get another message from me today?" Both said no. Yikes! All those messages I had sent were just gone. People must have thought I was quite rude for not responding to their comments, so let me make it up to you...
I was planning on doing a give away for my 100th post (this is post #94,) but I think I want to do it now. I want you all to know how much I value your comments and that I feel bad for seeming to ignore some of you.
Columbine If you would like a little packet of seeds, just leave a comment and let me know which one (or both) you would like. I have lots and should be able to send seeds out to everyone who would like some. Plus, as long as your email is available on your profile or blog, I promise I will email a reply to your comment, and you'll get it! Because I do read and appreciate every one...

don't feel so bad liz...i was doing that for the longest time just sending off email after email and not realizing about the no reply thing.
I agree: don't feel bad. I fall off the planet every now and then for weeks at a time, and end up skipping comment responses. I am sure I have done it t o you a time or two... and I don't even have confusing email settings to blame it on. It's just pure overwhelm and poor manners. ;oP
Love your blog as always!
I do things like this all the time. It took me ages to even figure out how to reply to a comment. Your flowers are so pretty. I don't know a lot of flowers by name but I appreciate their beauty.
I've done that as well. It took me a few times to figure that out as well!! Beautiful pictures!!
You have always replyed to me and I also love your comments. I've been thinking about doing the same thing you were doing. Thanks for letting us know. You always have just beautiful flowers. We haven't had a lot of rain here so my flowers didn't do well this year.
you are just pressed for time, very busy...of course i would like some of each...they are quite lovely. getting colder up here, the furnance usually kicks in once or twice a night lately. flannel sheets never really came off the bed this year. progress with victoria, she will be coming on or before dec.19th...i am so excited. i am gathering up little art projects and seeing where we can go the things we can see. happy dance!!!!!!
Oh Liz don't feel bad, I hardly ever get time to leave comments let alone respond to the ones I get! You are a wonderful blogger!
I don't expect a reply everytime I leave a comment. Mostly I just want you to know that I stopped by with a comment.
Yeah, that is SO annoying about Blogger! I am lucky, I get a bounce back if I make a mistake and do that, so I know it never went through. And for me, I made sure my email was enabled in my profile so people can actually figure out how to reach me.
Pretty flowers. :)
It took me a while to figure that out too. Most of the time I can't find an email address for the people at all, so if they ask a question I usually go to their blog and leave a comment on one of their posts with the answer.
I finally decided that responding to every post was so time consuming and I just don't have time. I do appreciate each and every comment I get, but I just can't respond to all of them.
I barely have enough time to get everything done that I need to as it is LOL
So don't feel bad, I don't think most of us expect a response unless we ask a specific question. So...you are off MY hook, hopefully there is no one out there holding a grudge LOL
Oh and I would love both seeds, but especially the sweet williams. My mother always grew them when I was a little girl and I had totally forgotten about them until now.
