January's background

Today's search for a new background was practically painless. I found a 3-column background right away.

Snowflakes2

Can't see the snowmen for the text & other things, but they are there. Interesting thing was that some Christmas backgrounds were grouped in the winter category. But I was tired of the green.

Backgrounds

I had a hard time deciding what kind of background I wanted for my blog. Wedding? Don-Mike & Amber's wedding is coming up in 3 weeks. Birthday? Our April birthdays got jump started this year with Amber's birthday in March. Spring? After all, it is spring.

I chose spring. It was supposed to snow today, but so far, it is just rain. I can deal with rain. I live in a semi-arid climate, I know moisture is of paramount importance.

Yesterday was a glorious spring day. The sun was shining, it was warm & the sky was blue. I took Mother for a ride up Cub River Canyon. We only got as far as Albert Moser Campground before we turned around. The road hadn't been graded & the road was bumpy, much too bumpy for my poor, sore tummy. The road had some serious speed bumps too. I was driving sedately (Don's word), but the car was still kicking up dust. Dust & smoke is not good for Mother's asthma. Someone was burning at Deer Cliff Inn.

Now, I need to concentrate some effort on bills & my personal web site. The personal web site still has a snow scene as the background, as well as the Valentine's mailbox I mentioned the other day.

Don-Mike & Amber's wedding invitations came today. I probably should be addressing envelopes, now I have an invitation to make sure I get the right size of envelope.

Blog designers

Ever since I started my blog I had decorated it with The Cutest Blog on the Block, but Blogger has a new feature called "Template Designer." You can read about it here at Delightful Dots. I've noticed some of my favorite blogs now have blank pages & a square box that says "This image or video has been moved or deleted" Photobucket. I tried to snag the graphic, but I can't. They all have The Cutest Blog on the Block backgrounds.
 
I found Delightful Dots & switched from my cool summer background. But I also changed my Blogger template to Picture Window. I didn't even go looking for The Cutest Blog on the Block, because I didn't want to take the time when Delightful Dots had some cute backgrounds too.

Wow!

What a change on my new background. I was loving my floral background until I discovered there was a rabbit on it. I was using an Easter background & didn't even know it! So, I went looking for a new background. I've had a headache all day & so, one was too bright, one was too dark, one popped too much, the stripes were just, um, not the thing I had in mind. I really couldn't find one I liked any better than the Easter background until I found this one. Talk about pop!! Oh, well, I'm ready for summer.

Hope you enjoy it. If you find it changed within the next day or 2, know it "popped" too much.
