Greetings Fabulous Felines and Hoomans of Hivelandia and surrounding communities!
It's Caturday once more... my favorite day of the week, but today was a little different because the Hoomans were hosting the annual "World Labyrinth Day" event here... and there were lots of stranger Hoomans coming and going all day long!
Well, maybe not all day... the last ones drifted out of here by about 4:00pm, but it was still enough to make this somewhat sensitive cat a bit nervous.
As a measure of self-preservation sequestered myself in the Dad-Hooman's office till they were all gone... just in time for me to come back out into the house in time for kitty snack time around 5:00pm!
Are they still here?
Can't say that I approve of all these strangers invading our space but the Hoomans seem to think it's important so I am reluctantly playing along!
Unfortunately it was a rather gray and drizzly day outside... which was less than perfect for their event but it also made me feel a bit sad because it meant there were no sunpuddles for my naptime.
Dinner time!
Otherwise...
We have had quite a good week with warm sun and genuine spring here in our part of the world, which I really like!
The Hoomans have been in a good mood because they have been able to get lots of work done in the garden. And they sometimes bring me in "green bits" which makes me happy!
We will have a houseguest for part of the week but that's OK because I know her and she loves cats. She will be staying with us till Wednesday.
LeoFinance Threads... and More...
There were big doings in the LeoFinance community this past week as the long awaited new user interface went to full public usage.
I have played with it a little bit, and there are obviously many more features to come... at the moment, it seems like the usability is heavily skewed towards "Threads" and short form microblogging; it took me a while to even find people's regular posts.
It will be interesting to see how it develops and whether it truly becomes the "game changer" for the greater Hive ecosystem that some people seem to think it will.
Personally, I hope it does, because we really need something for people around here to become excited about!
For the moment, I expect I will continue to move back and forth between PeakD — my long-time favorite front end — and LeoFinance, depending on the type of content I am working with.
Account Building, Hive and Patience!
Patience and perseverance really are very important here in Hivelandia!
I watch my HivePower balance inch its way forward — most recently, passed 3,100 HP — and sometimes I ponder the fact that this represents over five years of blogging. I've never actually powered down in the time I have been here!
Sometimes, the most challenging thing isn't to come up with new photos and material for posts, but to show up and keep going, week after week!
And maybe that, right there, sheds some light on the issue of retention people so often talk about.
I don't know... but I plan to keep going, as long as the going is good!
But now? Now I must get back to my nap!
Thanks for coming to visit, and I hope you had a great Caturday!

There are a number of other feline communities listed on Hive, but I am not sharing them for now as they have not had any activity (by their Admins OR users) since the Steem/Hive fork. Updates as they become available!
