Wisteria update


May 1st, a little more blue showing now. Notice my neighbour 2 doors up has a wisteria on both her fences, which the neighbour in between gets to enjoy, or maybe abhor from both sides. The 3rd fence plant looks to be more colourful....oh wait, maybe thats a lilac tree. Time will tell.



May 2nd wisteria may already have a little more colour after just one day. What i really took this pic for is to track the progress of the Locust tree, which is just starting to show a little yellow.  The colour combo is quite nice if they both co-operate.

Notice my neighbours yellow flowering Laburnum tree; more noticable in the May 1 pic. I don't know if she planted it to co-incide with my wisterias bloom time which would be awesome if she did.  It, however is planted way too close to the fence and i can see twining vine problems in the future.

Photoshop update - i made a new blog to put my art and bitchings re that art. It has a few kinks i'm trying to sort out, one of which is type thats too pale and it won't let me change it and odd coloured titles that i didn't ask for.  Also my profile must have left here to go there and i don't know how to make them link or have my profile on both.  Anyone know?

the technical stuff is always a pain.... You should be able to have several blogs under one profile... do you do it out of the dashboard?

You are so right; its a PITA!

I've been working from the dashboard but not getting anywhere, except sometimes making a new problem and have to spend too much time un-doing the new problem and end up with the same old problem. Isn't the dashboard the only way you can post, edit, etc?

I know - i whine, whine, whine.......

I agree....

Sometimes I would go into the help forum to see if anyone is having the same problem....and yes, there usually is. People post their problem and other experts are nice enough to offer solution. I once posted the link of my blog to ask for help of solving a layout mystery, and someone did!!

I've heard people talking about editing layout on other software, but I do it on Dashboard...and I try not to touch it at all these days for the same reason you have.

Thanks Lalala, yes theres lots of questions and answers there. Unfortunately they all seem to be real complicated while i think mine is relatively simple. I just want to make a link from this blog to my new PS art blog and can't figure out how to do this.
There is a link from it back to this one via my profile, but i can't get my profile to show on this one so was looking for some other way to do it.
Otherwise how would anyone know i have a new art blog?

Try this....
Go to dashboard, choose this blog's "Layout", choose the box "Add gadget", you will get a selection of choices, pick HTML/Java script, put your new blog link in there.... I think that's how I did it. (I have a link to my Chinese blog on upper right hand corner)

Yayyyy Lalala thanks for the help! You came through with the instructions i needed. I bet i tried every other thing but who knew to click there......you did!

Lalala said...

I liked what you wrote on "Justoday" about forgiveness--and about Christ--so thought I would come around.

I read somewhere that you could eat wisteria flowers on salads so I did so for years. Then I read that wisteria flowers are poisonous so I stopped. I'm still here and never got sick when I was eating it, so I guess it couldn't be too poisonous. It's one of the first flowers I remember from my childhood, probably because it grew so lushly where I lived in Mississippi and also because it attracted tons of bees.

Thanks for dropping in Snow....do people call you Snow?

Yes its ok to eat the wisteria blooms although i haven't thought of it for a very long time, i'll eat some this season. You're living proof so lets resume munching without fear!

I've eaten many other flowers in salads like daylilys and dandelion stems and flowers, and nasturtium flowers and their seeds are especially good. Many others as well but its late and they're now long forgotten way back in another life.

I had time to read just a little of your blog and love your talking/writing style. I'll go back asap.
