WOYWW #247: The one where it's turned cold again

Julia is our beloved head Desker and Queen of What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday.  She is also the one who sets the "rules" and keeps us on track.  Before I show my desk this week, I want to share something I wrote a few T(ea) Stands For Tuesday(s) ago.  It reiterates what Julia shared this week in a previous post.

I would like to begin by saying a few words about WORD VERIFICATION.  Even if you don't link to T today, I try to visit, at least if you leave a comment.  However, you have NO idea how long it takes to leave those silly word verifications.  They take time I don't have, especially since I have such a slow internet connection.

Here are a few things I would like to suggest:

1) Remove "anonymous" from your choices of how people can leave comments.  That will get rid of most of the spam.
2) Use comment moderation, where you, the blog owner must approve the message before it is shown
3) NEVER use comment moderation AND word verification.  You must approve the message, why put anyone through that added annoyance?

Thanks for understanding  and changing your blog comments if you are one of those offenders.

Now let's go snooping.
It's too cold to be in my craft room today.  It's also quite windy, as I noticed right after I took the photo and saw one of my wicker chairs on my front porch had blown over.  No crafting, no sewing, just wishing for warmer climes.

Of course, many came to see the rocking horse, and this is a favorite of mine.  It's stuffed and came from a friend who visited South Korea and brought it to me.

Please leave your number if you are visiting from Julia's.  BTW, I cannot find where to leave comments on some, but not all, G+ blogs.  That holds true even when I use Julia's links.  I could use any input you can give me.
