...to experiment. I uploaded a photo of one of my favorite flowers from our garden and used it for my blog background - choosing to "tile it". I spent quite a bit of time exploring all the possibilities available in the "advanced" field of the template customizer in Blogger. This is the result. It's a little busy, but now that I know what can be done, I look forward to frequent changes!.
Today I also took the time to pick up some free peaches a friend offered me. I don't have a lot of freezer space, so I sliced some for our lunch and froze enough to make peach smoothies for our evening snack tonight.
I took the time to pray for a few specific situations that arose--especially for friends facing difficult circumstances and choices.
The day has passed pleasantly for me. Our weather is near perfect. I'm enjoying the solitude of the early evening waiting for my husband to return from a meeting. I'm glad I've HAD time to TAKE the time...

The background looks very nice, Rebecca, not at all 'busy'!
ReplyDeleteAbslutely stunning! Guess I should play around with the template designer some ~ I'm always afraid I will wipe everything out! Now to find the perfect photo!
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking all the time you took for these things was well worth it!
:~P
It was a beautiful evening here last night too. I like the look of your blog very much Rebecca. I wish that I had the nerve to experiment but I'm just so afraid of messing something up!!
ReplyDeleteBesides Ginny knows how to do it all. The bad thing is that she is busy and isn't always in the mood as much as I am! Anyway, I really like this, the colors are beautiful!
Love Di ♥
Look at this, wonderful...it took me so long to do mine that I think once a year is about all I can handle...and it still makes me nervous...this is great.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy those peaches, and your perfect weather...we are still over the 100's, hitting past straight day records of heat and drought....over 40 straight 100 plus....
I like it ! Looks great.
ReplyDeleteGreat new look! It's amazing what we can accomplish when we have just a little time!
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Debbie
Lovely background!
ReplyDeleteThe background is so pretty....I adore the color purple!!! Fresh peaches are the best...especially in homemade ice cream!! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI like your new background...very artistic! I liked the old one too! Isn't it fun to play around with photos on a computer. It's a whole world of visual arts that our mothers would never have imagined. Taking time is good. It's a gift.
ReplyDeleteI like the new blog look. How witty you must be to learn how to do one of your own pictures! The colors are very cool and fresh.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your explorations of a new blogging skill. I'm always interested to learn how to enhance my blog and so it was a pleasure to find a brief insight into how you did this.
ReplyDeleteSounds like it was a lovely day... praying for others is a joy for me too!
PS... I like the background.....it adds a depth that's interesting.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I enjoyed reading some of your quotes in the sidebar... discovering a new quote that speaks to me is one of those 'exciting' things for me!
