Problems With WP, Please Help!
Good morning everyone! I am a bit late today and I will be getting my Daily Pics out soon, but I needed to do this little post first. I’m going crazy here trying to get things fixed and I have discovered I’m not the only one having problems. The problem is this, I was wondering why I was not getting any comments yesterday, then discovered the comments were there but I was not receiving them in “notifications”. I had to go directly to the comments page to receive the comments and send a reply. Anyone else having this problem? If so, please contact WP and tell them about it. I did yesterday and wasted most of the afternoon trying to get things fixed. But if more people contact them about it, the faster they will fix the problem because then they will see it’s not just an isolated problem.
If you have had this problem before and fixed it, please, please, let me know what to do! “Likes” show up in notifications, but not comments, which is odd in itself. I have a premium plan and since I pay for things, it would be nice to have things work. This is not really a complaint, just a plea for help if you can by letting me know what to do or by contacting WP if you are having the problem. Even if you are not having the problem, contact them to let them know your comments are not getting through to some blogs properly and give them a link to my blog.
But sometimes numbers do make a difference, which is why it’s important to let WP know that the problem exists. Thank you so much everyone for your time and help!! My daily pics will be out soon, I hope, plus the next chapter of my mystery story and another award post coming later. I hope you all have a wonderful day, stay safe and God bless!

Nature’s Art #41.
Hello to all of you on this brilliantly sunny April morning! But it is still so cool out there, it really doesn’t feel like it is April 21. But the sun is shining, the birds are busy singing and chirping all kinds of different songs and probably just a lot of talking among themselves. The chipmunks are coming for their morning peanuts. The squirrel, that I have named Woody, comes and chases the chipmunks away so he can eat a few peanuts, then he carries one off with him and the chipmunks come right back again. But the chipmunks know how to do it, they haul 3 peanuts at a time, the squirrel only one peanut. But the little chipmunks have that built in ability with their big cheeks, something the squirrels don’t have. However, the squirrels don’t complain about it, they just use what they have and enjoy it. I think there’s a lesson there for us people. If we could learn that we would be a lot happier.
And not for some more summer pics for our art in nature series…
And here we have some nice white berries from the baneberry plant. This plant, all parts of it, are highly poisonous, avoid it completely. It is sometimes called doll’s eyes. Consuming just 6 berries can kill. Birds however, can eat these berries without any side effects whatever.
And here we have the wild lily-of-the-valley berries which are really quite different than most berries being spotted, though later turning a light red as one berry already has done. Another plant to avoid eating, it can be deadly toxic to people.
Well, there we have two different berries, both are very interesting and add to the art that can be found in nature. But not all that looks nice or interesting is good, as these two plants show. Please do not eat the berries or any part of these plants. Perhaps instead of art this time, we should call it oddities in nature. Take care everyone, have a wonderful day and God bless!
