Preparing for another “yard sale”

Unadvertised “yard sale” but I’ll get the information in the newspaper soon. I “tidyied” the carport (and porch) by “blowing” leaves into an area where riding lawnmower can “chop” and bag. Friends and neighbors have first choice of items. “My prices are negotiable”  so (as before) I may not make enough sales to pay for the ad. C’est la vie!

“Finding Your Roots” on PBS

I’m a devotee; I love the PBS program titled “Finding Your Roots.”  A new season was announced; Tuesday night at 7:00 PM. I often marvel at the information I discover in my research. I have to quadruple marvel at the information found by those researchers. How do they do it? (I don’t expect an answer to that question.)

Speaking of challenges

I walked around the corner
And what did I see?
This pretty flower,
smiling at me!

‘Twas a thought,
a sign for me:
“You, too, will survive;
Trust in Me.”

.

The soil is dry and lacks substance. This flower is a “volunteer”; nothing I planted and totally foreign to this novice gardener. A joy to behold!!

Temp in my front & back yard !!

I sometimes think electronics have a mind of their own. The day and date advanced one day. Why?? Even though the outdoor temperature number seems excessive, I believe it is accurate. “Summer” just won’t leave!!

Twenty-twenty hindsight: “Comparison” with alternate thermometer (forty minutes later).
