Been a Minute, Right?
So I went a searching for our family tag and the quality signature has risen above 300k SBD's in total payouts you guys! A small percentage of which, is not verified family, but it does put us up over some other interesting tags like #minnowsupport, #openmic, #poem, #steemph, #witness-category and even #steemsilvergold - all of which were here longer than us. That's saying something, not sure what, but it gives our family tag some kind of intrinsic, unspoken value and I appreciate everyone that uses it making it easier to find our posts. So, thank you, much love!
Time to count the beans again! I love this contest because it makes people try to do math - or just simply throw out a random guess LOL! This one is interesting because instead of a clear container where you could see the beans and 'count them', he has used a solid ceramic coffee mug. But - not just any mug! This is the comical one that 
@saffisara sent our resident witness, which, makes it just that much more endearing of a presentation for the masses by sporting some IRL love. Good luck to the entrants!!
Knowledge is the key to power. I dare say, you may have touched on some topics that would lend some power for those daring enough to try and believe and understand it. Well done my man, it takes some grit to delve into what scientists would call 'uncharted territory'. Some may even refer to it as magic, which, after all, is simply that which science has not been able to explain. I am curious if you have studied anything about numbers as they say math is the language of the universe. I would be interested to know how it correlates to the colors you speak of and their relation to the 'alchemy'.
A day I don't learn is a day I just assume forget. My grandfather told me that once and has stuck with me to this day. So, upon reding this article about how you learned some photography skills byt actually going and taking a class, is really a 'beautiful' thing. And, from what I can tell, it would seem you have also applied the knowledge which has been learned. That's a key component to acquiring new skills - using them. Well done sweets, you mayt be able to tag yourself as an actual photographer soon! Start doing calendars of those doggies and who knows what else happens! Keep it up :)
I bet the trip was amazing, first of all. You have got some great pictures here! The shies really threw me off, and I really appreciate you explainging what it all meant! Sad, to be sure, but really touching the practice that they have gotten into over the years for remembrance. Not so sure I'd leave my shoes there though, the stench would pollute the river and kill all the fish, bwahahahahahahaha!
Oh SNAP! Byn! You have really shocked me here, I was under the impression those were just two separate stories but you done and went and did it! And from prompts via the 
@freewritehouse no less! I've been enjoying reading them already and you just may well have the makings of a really good short story - maybe even novel if you choose to pursue it! Only time will tell, though I must say, I am anxious to read the rest as it unfolds. Well done sweets.
Wow, I bet this one took more time to mix than you intended with the fruit involved but mmm mmm mmm, does it ever look and sound delicious! I seriously don't think I've ever had one of those! Now I totally want one. Think I may have gotten a bit tipsy just looking at it lol! I'm happy your little get together went well and they enjoyed the refreshments you made with care sweets. You need to invite us over!
Fresh to the #steemsilvergold community, Kitty has started to show off and educate us on the silver she is collecting. I totally knew you would and believe you will help a lot of the stacking clan become more involved as they learn about their shiny. And I really love the SBSS rounds, there's just something about the shield that says - "Ya, my stackitus is totally inflamed." Ha! Excellent as always sweetness, thank you!
Just some of the photography alone in this post, is totally worth going and checking out. Pretty impressive hun, I like how you went through the whole day with us and highlighted your 'favorite' parts. Especially the cat. Have you named any of them by any chance? As for the blackberries, I think the whole planet has shifted its seasons, maybe some global warming or something going. That would be an explanation for warmer winters and the increase of the wildfires. Great write-up though sweets, keep on Steeming!
So There They Are!
All of you need to give yourselves a pat on the back because you all kick ass! I do hope everyone has a
FAMtastic day/morning/evening ahead of them. Swing by some of our other allies' posts and if you find some good ones, you have our expressed permission to drop their links in the comments down there below. If you haven't already, I ask now, that you give those ones up there above some needed lovins. Here's to another great week so far everyone, STeeM oN my peoples, and
