About Me

Here I would love to share with you our travels and adventures as international mushroom consultants. MEMOIRS about husband Pieter Vedder, who was a SCIENTIFIC PIONEER in Mushroom Cultivation Education. His practical handbook is in 9 languages and is called the MUSHROOM BIBLE: https://mariettesbacktobasics.blogspot.com/2020/08/modern-mushroom-growing-2020-harvesting.html

My 13th Blog Award - Reader Appreciation Award

On Christmas Eve, Miyako from Orchid's Daily Voice in Japan, did pass on another Blog Award to me. Mighty sweet of her but it was too much for last year to sort this out...

For those that need to pass it on again, here is the link for the photo.

I want to limit this to only four names as it becomes quite a chore for selecting more people. It is already hard to find someone that does accept an award, let alone making the selection. But for me it always is a joy to think of someone else who would feel honored for having a little attention, even if it is just for a day...

1) Wendy from Once Upon A Rose Haven from Tennessee, USA
2) Nicole from Rêve en blanc from Limburg, The Netherlands
3) Johanna from Silber+Rosen from Germany
4) Jennifer from Feathers in the Nest from the North of the same Peach State where I live: Georgia, USA

All four are great blogs to read and you pick up ideas of love, special attention and warmth.
Wishing each one of you a great week and happy reading.

  12. gefeliciteerd Mariette, met je 13e award...welverdiend natuurlijk.
    Ook nog een heel fijn in alle opzichten 2012 van mij gewenst.
    En wat leuk dat Pieter pook uit een 'kassen familie' komt...
    Mijn ouders hadden ook kassen, met aardbeien en tomaten...ik heb er heel wat in gewerkt.
    Mijn kasje, is voor de helft betegeld, heb er een lekker zitje in gemaakt, zodat ik er lekker kan zitten in de zomer als het regent, dat is hier nogal eens in dat Nederland, maar goed dat zal je wel weten.
    het niet betegelde stuk, daar staan kruiden en altijd komkommmers en tomaten, er is nietd lekkerder dan eigen komkommers en tomaten...

  15. Dear friend, congratulations on this special award. I know that the time, to compose the wonderful informative posts you share with us can take.And I am most grateful for all I continue to learn and be inspired by, on my visits.

    The temperatures here are reaching -12 and with the wind chill feeling more like -20. So, I am enjoying a warm cup of tea as I make my blog visits and will curling up later this evening and (hand) writing some New Year's notes to friends.

    Wishing you a fabulous day, and stay warm..xo HHL

  17. Liebe Mariette,
    danke für die lieben Zeilen!

    Es gibt 2 Wege, Bilder zu Picasa hochzuladen. Entweder man legt selbst Alben an und lädt vorab seine Fotos für die jeweiligen Posts direkt zu Picasa hoch, um sie dann später in die Blog-Posts einzubinden - oder man fügt in seine Blogposts im Editor per Upload das jeweilige Foto in den Blog ein (von wo aus das Bild dann in ein Picasa-Album abgelegt wird). Bislang wurden die auf diese Weise hochgeladenen Bilder in einem Album gesammelt. Wenn dies voll war, legte Picasa ein neues an. Es paßten etliche Bilder in ein Album.

    Neuerdings jedoch legt Picasa für jedes Bild ein neues Album an. Das ist alles sehr unübersichtlich und dauert vor allem viel länger. Scheinbar soll es lt. Blogger-Hilfeforum dabei bleiben, daß zumindest pro Blog-Post ein neues Album angelegt wird. Das Ganze habe etwas mit Google+ zu tu. ;-)
    Nun, ich brauche kein Google+ und bin nicht gerade begeistert von diesen ständigen Neuerungen, die nie richtig funktionieren.

    Vielleicht wechsele ich einmal zu Wordpress über, mit dem man auch wesentlich mehr Möglichkeiten hat. Im Augenblick fehlt mir jedoch einfach die Zeit.

    Die xml-Datei lade ich auch regelmäßig herunter. Nur wenn die Bilder in Picasa weg sind, nützt einem die xml-Datei nur etwas, was die reinen Texte betrifft. Allerdings wäre das kein so großes Problem für mich, da ich die Bilder nach Monaten und Jahren in Ordnern zu den jeweiligen Blogs auf Festplatte speichere.

    Liebe Grüße
    Sara
