Wow! How long has it been?! I am so sorry about not posting anything on the blog for almost 3 months! Really really sorry. And no, this doesn't mean I lost interest in the blog (how could I ever), it was just summer time and I was sort of busy...
In this post, I just want to follow up on everything that I have done over the summer. Let's talk!

1. Well, I stayed at a rental home in North Carolina for a week with my family. We also went to the beach almost every day! Beaches down south are way different than beaches where I live, NJ. There, the water was literally 78 degrees. This is the Atlantic ocean we are talking about. It was like a jacuzzi in there! I'm not sure why, though. The weather generally was warmer down there, but I don't know why the water was so hot. Strong undercurrents, big waves, and the water was crystal clear. Not kidding. I could see to the bottom. And there were fish.
As a side note, I would like to point out that two days ago, I went to a NJ beach on the Atlantic ocean, about 500 miles north of where I was sunbathing a week before that.

It smelled like sewage.

It was disgusting. But, I've gotta say, despite the poop smell, the water was pretty darn clear and I didn't see a single jellyfish. I usually see a lot of jellyfish in the water in New Jersey.

2. Also in North Carolina, my rental home also had a stable with two horses inside, and I was able to feed them and be around them a lot. It was very interesting. I learned that horses eat constantly. All the time. And they love baby carrots.

3. I know that I have been taking very big breaks on my blog. But, I have decided to toughen up and make a schedule. I will write on my blog every Sunday. I will write about current environmental news, my own observations about the environment, and rant if I feel the need.

4. Lastly, I have added a new gadget to my blog, it's up top, right under the blog's logo. If you click on the mail icon, you can email me at askecogirl@gmail.com for any questions, comments, concerns, or suggestions that you might have!
The icon next to it will lead you to my Pinterest account, where I have 2 folders, among others, called Nature and Environmental News where I will post interesting things I see from nature. You can follow me there to see the pictures.
Next I have an icon that will bring you to my YouTube account, where I have been making videos. They are usually not about the environment but more about singing and funny things.
Then, I have my Instagram account. You can follow me there also!
Lastly, I have my Google+ account.

And that's all the news I have this week! Make sure to check out the blog next Sunday, because I will post another post :-)
Bye!
