That sounds like loads of fun but I wanted to join you in the problem-compounding corner... I planted my fruit trees in the back yard, never intending to put a whole garden in, so my WHOLE GARDEN is based on my rather ridiculous fruit tree placement. I need a new house so I can start over.

Just the thought of moving shrubs & rootballs gives me a backache. I know what you mean about "compiling one mistake on top of another"...there are the mistakes I made & the previous gardener before me that drive me nuts. Your garden looks beautiful & tranquil.

I downloaded it when Google began offering it for free last year, and it almost runs itself. It automatically finds any new photos and graphics you might have loaded onto your computer since the last time you logged in. It has some really nifty features. Try it sometime! Re working with Typepad, it does have inbuilt Blogger buttons and is obviously geared to that, but its strength is how easy it is to organise your photos on your own computer. I'd agree with Jenn: figuring out new sofware, even when it's easy, keeps the brain ticking over. Got sidetracked, wanted to say that I loved looking at the photos!

Picasa is a great program to use and very easy, though I don't know how compatible it is with Typepad. I assume it would be okay.

Maybe the pool boy could do it for you...okay I admit I've always wanted a pool boy. My back hurts just thinking about it.

This is my philosophy, too! Work that brain tissue! “If continually having to learn new programs doesn’t stave off senility, well, I don’t know what will.”
