Random Thoughts about life in general, living in the big city of Toronto
Wordless Wednesday
I love this picture of Midnight. She was lying under our teak table in the backyard when i snapped the shot. I love how the legs of the teak table frame her face.
I really like our Teak table. It’s made with recovered teak wood – as in teak tree stumps and or old fallen branches. These pictures aren’t great, but you can get an idea of what the whole table looks like:

I need a new WordPress Theme for my photoblog – Breath of Life Photography.
You’d think it would be easy enough to find a nice theme for a photoblog considering that there are thousands and thousands of free WP themes out there … but no … there are very few that are suitable for displaying a large image in a single post.
The theme I’m using now is OK, but it incorporates the post page (single page view) into the main index page, so that cuts down on your options if you want to display certain things on your index page and other items (or exclude items) on single post pages. Also … there’s no sidebar. I guess I could live without a sidebar, but a theme with footer sidebars incorporated into it would be cool.
The current theme displays images up to 720 px in size. I’d like to find a theme that displays pictures that large or at least no less than 600 px wide.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions for a new WordPress theme? I’d prefer a free one if possible!
Thanks!
Most of the flowers in my garden are solid colors or have petals that subtly go from one shade to another, but I only have a few flowers that have stripes.
One of the striped flowers is new to my garden this year. It’s a petunia. I purchased my annuals in the middle of June and when I saw this particular Petunia I thought it might look great in a planter by my front steps, and in planters in my backyard.
Of course I had a Canada Day (July 1st) display in mind when I purchased this petunia. The Canadian flag colors are red and white just like this flower so I called this my Canada Day flower.
The other striped flower that I grow is in my backyard. It’s a striped Malva Zebrina.
This beauty reseeds itself each year and I find myself pulling out seedlings that are growing in the wrong areas each spring and early summer. It’s a pretty flower and it’s easy to grow and manage.
Do you grow any striped or unusual looking flowers in your garden?

Wow I just got a cool birthday gift from an internet friend. Best of all it’s something that a person with a severe headache can use!
So what is it? It’s a two week trial for free audio books which I think is pretty cool.
I mean right now it’s perfect because I’m totally bored just lying down hoping my headache will go away. Maybe I’ll go to the site right now and download a book that I’ve been wanting to read and just spend some of this evening listening to the audio book. Perhaps when I relax and I’m not thinking about my headache it will just g o a w a y. Well … I can hope!
My body is playing a big joke on me right now and it’s not funny.
Seriously …
It’s my birthday and I woke up with a headache this morning. No not from partying last night, unfortunately. I don’t know what caused it, probably the stress I’ve been under as it’s been a bad week. Anyway … the headache has turned into a major migraine.
Forget doing anything nice like going out to dinner or getting together with friends to celebrate my special day. Nope … I’m lying down trying to make my head stop pounding.
I feel awful most of the time thanks to Crohn’s Disease. You’d think my body would at least cooperate on my birthday? Nope.
Oh well, maybe next year.
Hmmm maybe I’ll get Chris to give me a neck massage. That might help.
Thanks to everyone who’s been stopping by my Facebook page to say Happy Birthday. I really appreciate your messages.
