Two a Day in April
May. 1st, 2026 07:44 amAfter several months of being in a slump with blogging I have once again hit my stretch goal. In the month of April I averaged posting 2 blogs a day. I hit it right on the nose with 60 blogs across April's 30 days. It's my bloggiest month since last year August. (Coincidentally the time before August was last April, when I also posted 60 blogs!)

As virtually always, travel drove my surge in blogging this past month. I started the month on a trip to visit my inlaws, though that wasn't a very bloggy thing. It rarely is. It's the waterfalls-chasing trip to Ohio mid-month that did it. Seven days, including travel time, and I posted nearly 30 blogs about it. That's half the month's tally right there. If we'd stayed home that week, maybe doing a couple of day-trips instead, I'd probably have finished the month at fewer than 40 blogs, remaining in my slump.
So, is April a return to form or just an anomaly? Hard to say right now. I am done with blogging about the Ohio waterfalls trip. With yesterday's three blogs about it I've cleared my backlog! Thus my recent pace of 2-3 blogs a day is going to slow down. Later this month I do have a few trips planned, though one of them is another visit to my inlaws.
