As I write this article it is a blizzard outside. There is not a single sign of life visible. Needless to say this can lead to that winter dreary that most everyone experiences. So like all mental illnesses, I resort to my iGoogle page for a cure. Once again Google gadgets pulls through and give me Flowers of the Day.

Let me just say that I love flowers. I am not the least bit shamed of admitting it. So when I came across the Flowers of the Day gadget I was fairly excited. It delivered with its name. I definitely got pictures of flowers. The gadget features a slide show of pictures of flowers. There appears to be a large supply of photos, because I have yet to see a repeat. My only complaint with the pictures is that they tend to be a little to artistic for my tastes. I just prefer simple pictures flowers.

As far as Gadget implementation goes, Flowers of the Day falls short. About half of the gadget consists of the actual sideshow itself. The rest is ads and empty space. I know to a lot of iGoogle masters this may seem like a sin, but to a casual iGoogle page user this may be an alright trade off. For me this gadget gave me just enough of that good weather feeling to get me through the snowstorm.
