When I was a little girl, I used to think all the fluffy little dandelion and thistle seeds drifting on the wind were fairies. It was fun to blow on the fuzzy balls of dandelions gone to seed, and send the fairies flying. Elin has found a nice big ball of dandelion fairies and is ready to set them free
There's not much going on doll-wise these days other than taking the occasional photos. I've been playing with ribbon combinations trying to figure out the pleated skirt for a Victorian dress for Peach for when she comes back home, but gardening is taking up most of my time now that the weather is finally good enough to plant things. The front yard is almost finished. Jan went over to a new housing development a few streets over where they are tearing down four old houses to make room for a new mini-subdivision, and he asked permission to dig up any perennials in their gardens; peonies, irises, Solomon seal, lots of hostas, pink and blue forget-me-nots, and several thousand grape hyacinths (which I had to sort through and pull out all the crab-grass, creeping Charlie, and other weeds). Well, two truckloads, and several days later, he finally has everything planted in the gardens. Good thing the forecast is calling for four straight days of showers and rain later this week - the new plants can definitely use it.
I managed to create two new photo pages today - one with the girls in their sundresses and playing dress-up, and the other with all the Museum pictures. Weebly is still giving me issues, but as my son always say; "There's more than one way to do things on the computer. If something doesn't work one way, try another". So I have. I figured out that if I pre-load all my photo and text icons first in the spots I'm going to post photos, then fill in all the text, and then load the photos, it usually takes just three or four tries. But I really miss being able to add and move photos around, so I'm making a preliminary layout in IPages first to see how things look, then writing down the image numbers, so I can load according to my list. I also discovered that Weebly prefers Jan's vibes to mine, so once I've managed to load my photos, I get Jan to press the "Publish" button, and TaDa!! it works!! Most of the time. It's a total pain, but I'm nothing if not determined!
