taking another down day...

looking at some busy days coming...

so I don't want to fall apart in the middle of all that...

do want to make a Paris run on Friday with my guys...

hotter out today, too...

but will cool back down...

got a bit of rain over night, but nothing much...

no high winds...

have good days!

guess who figured out something all by herself?

I did!

roses- took the photos last night...

DH had to dust them last weekend...

ok, so no need to wait for a new cord for the new camera...

had a cord with my old camera...

(it doesn't fit the new one)

but...

I took my memory card out of the new camera and put it in the old camera and plugged it in...

and it worked! 

ha...just wait till they hear all about this around the supper table tonight...

LOL

yeah, me...

(only took me all day to figure it out, but I did!)

even on a fibro day!

brain cells are not dead...

they just hang out on the beach way too often!

I am back, sorta...

my computer bit the dust a couple of weeks ago...

new one came yesterday,,,

but without a SD port to download my photos with...

need a cord to plug into the USB ports to do that...

Craig is looking...

(my geek squad)

we are alive and ok...

been working hard in the yard and garden...

really sore today...

mama cat and all four babies found their forever home...

country home away from the major roads...

doing good, too...

garden looks good...

Craig found 4 red dogwood bushes on sale...

brought them home...

(I asked for a purple dogwood)

so close...

got 2 planted and trying to decide on the other 2...

maple pods/ helicopters mostly cleaned up...

(Can you ever get them all?)

pulling and mowing trees everywhere...

DH and Craig are taking the train to Chicago on Thursday...

Doug is coming to spend a couple days with me...

Friday, DH, Doug and I are heading to Paris to look for pepper plants and coleus...

will eat lunch at Burger King...

so- that's the plans for this week...

have a good one...

the weekend shots...

this is our new garden space...

big enough for tomatoes and green beans and a few other things...

can't wait to see how it comes out...

the dwarf lilac is in full bloom...

and the iris opened...

most of them...

it was in the uppers 80s last weekend...

but yesterday was in the low 60s...

and breezy...

are these paper whites?

they just popped up in a few places...

one of the new hostas....

this should fill in this year...

transplanted 2 more rose bushes in there...

took half a down day yesterday and might do the same today...

Craig is off Wed, and we might get to work outside...

maybe...

if it warms up and doesn't rain...

babies are doing good...

growing and getting sassy...

will get some new photos of them this week...

have good days...

2019 Rutherford Rumble

my friend and her husband organize the Rutherford Rumble every year...

its not accessible for me since its in the grass...

the wheel chair just won't go through it...

so I sat on the road where they came in and shot them there...

and then zoomed in down the rows and got what I could...

we weren't there long and took about 100 photos...

there was supposed be a scooter thingy for me to use there this year...

but it wasn't, so did what I could do and left...

we had yard work to do...

and we have a lot to do...

so here are the ones I could shoot...

not bad for an amateur...

;)

have a blessed day...
