Facebook Activity

 

One of the first things I check on Facebook each day is the birthday notifications. I send greetings to my Facebook friends. One of the birthdays was the wife of a nephew. I would not have remembered her birthday without the help of Facebook.

It was nice to see my photographs being shared by the Greater Philadelphia Dahlia Society on their Facebook page. If you love dahlias, you may wish look at their page.

A member of the National Capital Dahlia Society messaged to ask if they could use some of my photographs for their 2021 calendar to benefit area charitable organizations. I told him they are welcome to use any of my photographs. If you live in the DC area, you can learn much about growing dahlias from members of this group.

My routine is to post a daily photograph in selected Facebook groups. I normally receive hundreds of likes and comments and have a worldwide following. I probably should recommend some Facebook groups in my blog posts.

I also post a lot of local announcements and many recipes on Facebook. You may have noticed that Sally K. Hanson is posting daily recipes on Facebook. Follow her on Facebook to see her recipes.

Many of the ActiveRain members are on Facebook and I enjoy connecting with them. When members are no longer posting blogs, you can often find them on Facebook.

If you enjoy reading, you will see that I post regular book recommendations on Facebook. These are books that I have read. 

If we are not already Facebook friends, you can find me with this link:

 Oh yes, Roy. Having that birthday feature is great, it really helps especially when you have a large family and can't remember everyone's birthday!!!

Hi Roy- I see you often on Facebook and love your photos. You are an inspiration for being consistent on Facebook, which I'm not.

Morning Roy.

David & Sally are MIA in the Rain.  Do you have any idea of why they apparently have left?  I sent them a message several weeks ago, no reply

Hello Roy - there are still a few reasons for me to remain as part of Facebook.  Like so many things in life, it's constantly changing.

Hi Roy when I see beautiful flowers from you it always makes me smile and take a little happy break! I haven't had time on FB all that much lately but I will.  I do see Sally's recipes - so many good ones.  And birthdays as well.

That is so cool Roy.  You are such an inspiration and I love seeing your flower pictures.  I am going to have to look you up on facebook.  I haven't been as active on Active Rain, or Facebook this year.  I need to get with the program lol!  I do like to keep up with peoples Birthdays on Facebook though.  It is nice to get those well wishes.  Have a blessed day!
