After I had edited my little sketches I decided that I really kind of liked the way they looked. This one looks kind of friendly so he's being used as my greeting today. You will probably see more of my little sketches and drawings in my blog just because I'm having fun with them. They are not great art but they are fun.
I've changed my layout, I got an e-mail about new blogger layouts and decided to try them. I was thinking of changing my color scheme anyway; I was getting tired of the dark color scheme. I think maybe it's because of a change in me. Anyway once again serendipity came into play in the form of an e-mail. One of the premises of Dr. Dyer's book Excuses Begone, which I am currently reading for the third time, is that when you are ready, the help that you need will come into your life. Serendipity. I have found that the more I accept the gifts of serendipity the more I get them and wonderful gifts they are. Sometimes they seem small at the time but the joy they bring is out of proportion to the size. For example the change in my blog colors, before I changed them I never would have believed how good it make me feel to see the new set up. I could do a whole blog just on the little gifts of serendipity I have received of late, and maybe sometime I will but for now I'm going on with other things.
My last blog was on the outrageous pollen counts we in Georgia have had to endure. Another serendipity, Tom bought me a painter's mask just a couple of days before the pollen rise and it has help me keep breathing normally or close to normal in spite of the pollen. We woke up to dew on the pollen and it actually made it kind of pretty. Then we got rain and got pollen sludge. Yuck!
I think maybe I should have called this post Hodge-Podge because I'm going to change the subject again. The economic crisis that has hit pretty much all over has hit this family too. Although it hasn't reached crisis proportions a little extra money would sure be nice. I'm working on selling my photographs and now have a website on redbubble (see top right hand corner of my blog and click to go there). I have also started with ads on my blog not something I wanted to do but I think it could be an advantage to both me and my readers. I am only working with Amazon.com because they have good prices and service; I've used them and like them. They also let me choose what to advertise so when I read a book and enjoy it all you have to do is find it in the slideshow click on it and it will take you to Amazon where you can order it. Convenient. I like that I can choose what to put up to advertise that way I know you will probably like it too. Hopefully finding this will turn out to be serendipity for me too.
I hope you like and enjoy my new blog and your life is filled with serendipity too.

Thanks for the visit. Here near the ocean we too seem to have excessive pine pollen this year. Monday everything was fine. Monday night the pollen started falling and by morning my black hot tub cover was a shade of yellow green. Hand prints on the top Tuesday night were coated and not recognizable by Wednesday morning. The rain helped and I think most of the pollen is finished... now those tacky squiggly brown things are falling from the pines.
I see you have books you have read to share with the grandkids. Try one called "The Giver" by Lois Lowry. Wonderful for adults too... a great discussion book.
