A new look
I finally turned to a professional to makeover my blog. Sam over at Temptation Designs did a wonderful job. Have you ever seen my sidebar so neat? I just love it! I should have contacted Sam long ago, a beautiful design is so worth it.
I'm still taking pictures of the birds in the backyard, I love my new digital camera.

I've just started creating my own photo books over at Blurb, it's so much fun. A couple of my friends made one and I just had to do it too. You take your own photos and text and make it into a hardcover or softcover book, just like the books you see in the bookstore, only better. The books are keepsakes that you and your family can treasure forever.
Speaking of books, I'm in a book club. We just got done reading "Eat, Pray, Love" by Elizabeth Hilbert, next up is "Consequences" by Penelope Lively. Has anyone read it? Did you like it?
My mother is undergoing another round of radiation, this time on her neck. She's been really sick, unable to swallow. Three more radiation treatments and she is done with this round. Mom has a bird-feeder now, although she's having trouble getting birds to show up. I think all the birds have found their favorite places already this season. She really liked watching the birds when she visited me, I think she dislikes the squirrels even more than I do.
Thanks for stopping here every now and again. If you don't find me here, you might find me over at Flickr.

I stopped by here earlier tonight and saw the new look. You hadn't posted this yet, though. I was wondering if it was really new or if I was just thinking it was. I really like it!
I need to look into the book thing. Sounds interesting.
Hi! I love your new look - and the fact that you are back! I was really missing catching up over here.
I hope your mom is doing better. That radiation stuff is awful.
Hugs!!

I hope things go smoothly for your mom with the rest of the radiation. Thinking of you, it is all hard.

Looks nice - is that the way you feel at times? Seems like my office.
I LOVE the graphic! I usually read in google reader, so I'm glad I stopped by to see the new design. The font in the sidebar is beautiful.

Funnt - There's a conversation of sorts concerning cardinals over at Universal Hub (a Boston-centric blog) so I'm going to post a link to your place, so folks can see what a female cardinal looks like.
Love the new look. Best wishes to your Mom hope she is feeling a lot better soon.
Have always loved your birdie pictures. This is another beauty.
Wonderful to see that you're back blogging again... with a great new look!
Keep all those birdie pictures coming because that is one of the reasons I stop by so often.
Hoping the best for your Mom. May she also find her strength in you to see this tough time through. Welcome back!
Great new look boss! Loved looking at your bird pictures on flickr too. I've got you, your sisters, and your mom all prayed up.
Hope you had a great vacation in Daytona....I'm looking forward to seeing your bird tour pictures.
Hi Barbara,
It's good to see you're back. Take Care :-)
I love it! It is cute yet not too cutesy!
BEAUTIFUL!!!! Us girls do like a makeover occasionally!!!
I was glad to see that you were back. It has been a while since your last post. I hope your mom is better. I just want you to know you are missed!!
Still loving this picture! Thanks for stopping by my blog and looking at my grand daughter. I just love her.
I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

We live in the North East and my husband has kept a bird feeder outside of the kitchen window for years. He finally decided to give the chickadees a try - they will actually land on his hand and feed if he removes the feeder and places his hand where the feeder normally sits.
