Messin’ with the blog…

Or trying, at least. Yesterday, I spent all of my knitting (and after dinner kitchen cleaning) time trying to figure out how to get my blog more to my liking. It all started with the discovery that I am using an unnecessarily high amount of bandwidth, and I wanted to change a few things to fix it. One thing led to another, and almost nothing productive was accomplished on either the needles, or the blog. Sigh. A big thanks to the hubby for trying to help, though. I’m trying to change my comments window a bit, I want to learn how to create links to pop up windows in my content, and I really want to know how to do stuff in my sidebar.

I can still show you something pretty.

That is a portion of the garden window in my kitchen. I don’t know why, but african violets love my house. It must have good, african violet vibes or something because they divide, survive my crude and amateur surgical separation techniques, and continue to grow. That dark purple one in the center has been in constant, abundant bloom since mid February. I’ve started giving them away, because I was up to 20 plants! I started with around 8-10, I can’t remember. I don’t have room for them all. It is ridiculous.
