New look

I've been looking for ages for a new look for my blog - not that anyone notices but me, but I'd grown tired of the old template - plus, couldn't get it to do exactly what I wanted.

My late husband loved irises and grew every color he could find.  Had an iris photo that had lots of the pretty colors and adapted it to my header.  Unfortunately I've not taken nearly as good care of his actual flowers as I have the photos.

SO, found this template which required only a little work to customize it the way I wanted and walla - here we are.  Colors are very different from old one which featured a lot of green.  I like green, but I like yellow/gold/oranges better.

Here's a photo of the old header - what do you think compared to the new one?

If you're seeing it and have a comment, feel free to post it.

New blog look

Well, that's what I want anyway, though I can't find anything that really appeals to me.

I've loved this template, but can't seem to make it do what I want it to lately... and the right column is 'jumping' on both my computers so I'm guessing it is on everyone else's too - REALLY annoying.

Obviously want something to do with irises - wasted most of this afternoon looking around online.

So, it's frustrating.... but then I get frustrated easily these days it seems.

To twitter or not to twitter

Just uploaded a new lovely iris background to my twitter account - here's the original picture I used.  Don't you just love irises?  They're the most gorgeous flowers.

I'm still trying to figure out the fascination with twitter.  First of all, I can't say anything in the amount of space you have there.  I hate hash tags - and I particularly hate seeing twitter posts on facebook - you can't read them - what do they mean.  They're speaking a foreign language with lots of number symbols in little them :-)

I've been there for a long time, just haven't used it.  So, I'm giving it a shot.  Kinda like my blog - trying to get back to it.  Someone tell me why it's so wonderful though????

Today's plans were changed as I had to pick up granddaughter at school this am and take her to dr.  School nurse thought she might have the flu.  Thank God it wasn't - sinus infection.  She's been sleeping most of the day.

So, since I'm at home, I'm able to listen to my oldest grandson, Matt Thompson play baseball.  He's playing with the California Winter League and I can listen online (when their audio feed works - which is very sporadic).  Games just started on Saturday so hopefully I'll get to hear most of them.  Go Matt!!
