New Template

The time finally came for me to upgrade my blog so that I could access the "bells and whistles" offered by the New Blogger.

Blogs Gone Wild designed this for a minimal fee around the recent picture of Gram's antique desk. I'm sure I'll do some tweaking as the days go by.

I can tell you right now that it is MUCH EASIER than the old blogger.

I need Easy. I like Free.

"I can tell you right now that it is MUCH EASIER than the old blogger."

Rather an ironic statement given that I said the same thing to you last September!

I love it! I may have to run to my old place to see just how easy it is. :) I am wondering what WT is doing to know how much easier it is.

I like it. And I like that to post a comment, I only have to jump one hurdle rather than two now.

oh, I LIKE it. I jumped the blogger ship a long time ago but they do have some cool stuff. And FREE is the best thing ever :)

Looks great.

I can't believe it took you so long to swap over!

I love, love, love the new layout! Totally cool.

I keep hearing the new one is easier, but I switched to wordpress quite a while ago, so I guess for me it's a moot point.

Anyway, I love it!

I love the upgrade... perhaps this will inspire me to do a little updating of my own! ;-)

Your new design is so pretty! I like new blogger better too (I have some blogs that are not at my domain)

Hope you have a wonderful day!

Very, VERY nice! I would have stayed at blogger if I had a little control over my template. And I'm too cheap to pay someone to design it for me. I like this template - it's fresh and clean...well except for the dust on Gram's antique desk ;)

I like you new look!!

Loved your haiku, but for some reason the accompanying picture wouldn't download for me.

Curly Mop and the bubble pictures are just precious.

And, Pamela, I think you are beautiful!

I used to write THE DATE in the dust at my friends' house. It didn't make me very popular. Heh.

Dear pamela. I've copied off you (not your template, your idea to update your template!) - a change is as good as a holiday.

I could easily make the same sort of "signature" around here! lol..

great header.

I love it! I'm thinking about starting a pseudonym blog, and would probably do it on blogger, if I thought Blogger was significantly easier than it used to be!! It doesn't seem like the downtime has been as bad any more either, so I'll be thinking about this!

It really looks great.

Susie - now if I could do the same with the old body

tlawwife - I stuck the picture in my old template to get into the groove

WT - Help me Obi-Wan Kenobe. Well, I was reluctant to give up my loverly template that I worked so hard on.

her indoors - thank you , bows, ooops excuse me, blushes

Ian - the truth always works (:


Julie - I tried wordpress in a test sight but my lack of ability followed me over there

Shelby - I thought you'd like the header - You're such a photo junkie!!!

Masago - you know haiku, I know dust

Peter - actually, I got some new dust to snap the picture

Heather - that is good to hear I wasn't aware of that change

BarnGoddess - yeah, thats the only reason I go to Costco is the free hand outs (:

Beccy - I upgraded to BETA one of the VERY FIRST blogs to do so. It was just that my template wasn't a Blogger Template so it wasn't cooperative

Jenn - did you stay with the free wordpress template?

ChrisB - I was taken back a little that I liked the brown. Who wudda thunk?

Jodi - check them out with my lilnk. They have F.R.E.E ones, too and some of them are really fabulous. I just wanted my OWN,

Marti - How do you manage more than one?

Stephanie - I'm going to put my picture in -- that was my avatar and they just stuck it in - and I can add/subtract stuff at my will. And it is so easy!

Susan - yea, with those three muggles, you need to have control somewhere ha ha ha hbwaaa ha ha ha

Kila and Songbird -- it was a whimsical moment that I covered that with dust and wrote my name.

Melissa - easier now that I have a blog that talks to is

whipper - and "clean me" on backs of cars. I know you can't help it.

Gattina - going wild here means using half n half in my coffee instead of skim milk

LMM - can't wait to see what you do

Deslily - I knew we were twins separated at birth

Kelly PTT - there are some really great free "skins" out there if your're thinking about it $eriou$ly

An Old Cold Spot

Image
My brother Mike emailed me this photo last night.  He said this was a goodbye salute that he snapped today in his garage where this old freezer has been chugging away since 1988.  That was the year our mama decided she was tired of bending over and digging through it.  Besides, she no longer needed the capacity and hadn't for several years. Mike and my sister-in-law  spent the next 25 years "digging" through this old freezer.  My sis-in-law was very good at keeping it and the cupboards stocked.  The two of them kept promising each other that "It is going to die soon, so we will just keep it until that day." Twenty-five years may seem like a very long life for a freezer.  It is MUCH older than that. Sears only sold Coldspot through 1976.  I thought that my parent's purchased this freezer in the sixties.  My brother said he put the serial number 'on-line' and it matched a 1953 manufacturing date.   Here is a close up of...

Apparitions in my Garden

Karmyn is the host of Fun Monday this week with a subject that is near and dear to her heart. Not to mention her knees and fingers. But I mentioned them anyway. The subject? --- What's Growing In Your Garden. As soon as I signed up I grabbed my camera and headed out the back door. Alyssum, lady's mantle, gaillardia, Jupiter beard, and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember is blooming in this photo. We didn't put as many annuals in this year so I miss all the yellows and reds that we often enjoy. But, something else showed up in that surprised me. Can it be that my yard is haunted? Cheeky little ghost! A shot from the deck near the hammock shows off some ornamental grass, petunias, pond plants ... and that bold apparitio...

Bird Voyeur

The sweet little digital camera that the hubby purchased (after I dropped our old one) has encouraged me to do a little more walking. Last week I took it with me when I walked up the "creek" path, which doubles for joggers and bikers as well. I've seen beavers, mink, deer, birds, birds, birds, and once the tail end of a bear run running away through the brush. Of course, without a camera. Now I carry it often. This time I was watching the Belted King Fisher performing an acrobatic display and chattering at the ducks and geese in his fishing territory. I was zooming in on him in a tree across the water when I spotted what I thought was a huge wasp or hornet nest very high in the tree. (Thanks to Susan for bringing up bee's today.) The heavy binoculars were at home, so I continued to try to see it through my camera. Then, a weird movement caught my eye. What I thought was a giant paper wasp nest was really a Great Blue Heron sleeping on one leg with his head ben...
