I dont know how it happened but I think I must have had some problem with publishing your comment.<br />If my posts have made you look at even weeds differently, I'm very happy.

You helped me realize that even a "cowpea" flower is in itself most amazing flower in size \ color & same is the case with gul - mohar. :)<br /><br />These days when i look at a weed \insect \snail\ butterfly (in my kitchen garden) , i would think on how would be your take on them :).

Due to some unavoidable delay, we ended up making the trip late May till June. I hope to get some reprieve from the heat there as well. looks like you have to really drench your plants.

According to Google Chrome's help center, you can select "Settings", go to "Show Advanced Settings" and in "Web Content" section go to "Font Size" to adjust as necessary.

As if the letter was fading away. <br />To add to it, Blogger has come up with the new embedded reply feature. It's lovely! Except it doesn't seem to work on IE in my computer. It works on Google Chrome for me, though (as you can see in my replies above). <br />Teething problems, Blogger? Okay, we all go through it at some time and I hope they fix it soon.

Switching to a sans-serif one took a bit of adjusting mentally but I thought a change might shake things up a bit :)<br />Google Chrome has been going haywire with the text. The last time I checked the text on this post was bold and squat while that in the earlier posts looked long and half-faded in parts. I wish they'd fix this!<br /><br />The pot-holes I can deal with, not the heat and humidity. I'm longing for the monsoons... sigh!Sunita Mohan https://www.blogger.com/profile/16395671437601246093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7433906806220848808.post-90052344528444528442012-05-22T13:52:49.905+05:302012-05-22T13:52:49.905+05:30That's exactly what I'm seeing too, Lisa. ...That's exactly what I'm seeing too, Lisa. Apparently some of the others using Chrome don't have a problem with it. Weird! <br />By the way, was my last post difficult to read on Chrome too when it was just published? That was done before I changed the look of the blog. I'm just wondering if its a problem with only this typeface (since its a slim one).<br /><br />LOL! I've been scrambling a bit, Lisa. That's why the posts are delayed so much.

It looks fine to you and some of my other friends who use it. But to me and Lisa (see below) it looks splotchy and faded in parts. I wonder if it is some setting problem? <br /><br />Incidentally, I've been trying to comment on your blog for some time now, Becky but I keep getting an internal error message.Sunita Mohan https://www.blogger.com/profile/16395671437601246093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7433906806220848808.post-86981746563261347682012-05-22T13:44:24.495+05:302012-05-22T13:44:24.495+05:30Thanks for the feedback, Prabha!
