I'm trying out a new look for Minnesota is Heaven. What do you think?

I wish I could figure out why the picture in my header is a little blurry...I was proud of myself for figuring out how to get the new header, so I left the picture as is, but if someone has any hints (Sarah, I'm looking at you!), please let me know.

Backgrounds, etc. were free at www.shabbyblogs.com

I really like the new look! Way to go. The photo of all of you is a keeper.

As for the picture being blurry, here's my idea as to why: I'm wondering what the setting is on your camera as to the resolution. When I try to print out photos from your blog, they're usually blurry. That's why I asked you to send me the jpgs. As I said, it's just an idea.

The look is good, kind of domestic like you could be into quilting etc.. It is a cosyer- is that a real word- look. I guess what I am trying to say is, I like it. Good show.

It looks cute. I love the header.

It looks like the fotoflexer picture is just blurry.

Do you have the image downloaded to your computer? Does that one look good?

If it does, try uploading it to Picasa, either through your blog or at Picasa.google.com (where blogger stores your photos).

Then, go to that image in Picasa

Get the full size one, not the little thumbnail. Right click on the picture, and select copy image location

Next, go into blogger in the layout section and edit your header. paste the URL you copied from picasa in the from the web box and save. Hopefully it will look more crisp.

HTH!

I like the picture, but I think the rest of it is a little busy. I think I liked it better before!

Sunday

Moody, cloudy Sunday morning in bed with coffee and a new book.  Wrapped up reading a book that could have been so much better, had the characters had a little more...character.  It was a skimmer, for sure.  As I've gotten older, I have given up the notion that all books were meant to be read start to finish.  I've waded in as much as a couple hundred pages before letting go and putting one down.  There are too many books and too little time to waste on a book that doesn't keep my attention. If the rain holds off, I'm looking forward to hooking up this cleaner spray to my hose and spraying my windows and siding.  I know, I know...life is so exciting, right?!  Have I described where I live, the pipestem?  That is the Virginia vernacular term for a little offshoot lane that branches from the main road, upon which are a few homes--in our neighborhood, probably 4-6 houses on each pipestem.  We have four.  Next to us is Car Hoarder Neighbo...

Cherry Blossom, Part II

Image
Tired of cherry blossoms yet?  Oh good, because here are a few more:     These are from just a few hours ago...the cherry blossom or sakura, is truly ephemeral.  The blossoms appear almost overnight and won't last more than a few days, depending on weather.  It's important to get out and appreciate them while you can.  The Japanese actually have a term, hanami, for the "sport" of viewing sakura and there are many, many places in Japan where people flock to see sakura in breathtaking settings.   I'll settle for CFAY, since I'm still single parenting and the Japanese school children are on spring holiday, so the crush would be intense anywhere we would go.  If you saw my last post, you know I had to bribe the kids with ice cream for a two hour trip down to Miurakaigan to view the blossoms a couple of weekends ago.   It's been a busy couple of weeks.  I had a new class start up, just the other half o...

This is 45

-
I think I need to get into it a little more to really FEEL it, but this is 45.  Middle of the road?  Maybe.  Both of my grandmothers made it past 90, so we shall see. All of the most important people in my life wished me a happy birthday today, including the adorable people who made me and brought me into this world.  It is my habit now to thank THEM for my birthday, because let's be honest, if that man didn't love that woman, I wouldn't be here,  right now.  Thanks, guys...totally, 100% serious. The Captain was out of town for my birthday weekend, he got back at supper tonight, unerringly arriving just in time to sit down and eat.  It's really OK.  I started out my weekend on Friday at my favorite shopping joint, then returned home, changed into sweatpants and settled in for some trash TV watching (in this case, the completely stupid "90 Day Fiancee" (don't get into it, it's like watching a car wreck that you could see coming miles away))....
