Catching up and a sweet day

 Yesterday was a nice day.  For some reason I was more relaxed than I have been in a while.  I think Mercury retrograde kicked my butt - well not exactly my butt but further up.  I had a front tooth removed with no chance of replacement.  Ugh.  But you know what?  It is what it is and I'm going to live with it.   I decided that at my age I wasn't going to get a fake tooth on some wires to make others happy.  

I'd been saving for my first iPhone for almost a year.  Every reading I did went into the savings.  Hubby had a flip phone which I didn't know how to use.  So I wanted both of us to get the same brand of smart phone.  He got the iPhone SE20 and I got the iPhone 11.  I'd been using my Galaxy Note 4 for 6 years and the apps weren't working anymore.   I have an iPad which I love and I knew I'd be able to use an iPhone and teach him how to use it too.   It's been quite a trip setting it all up but fun.  I love some parts of technology, especially if I'm familiar with it.  I did a lot of googling to learn stuff and yes I have more to learn.  

We changed doctors and may be changing eye doctors too.  So with all this and emerging from the Covid but fully vaccinated, I just haven't had the energy to blog.  

But yesterday was more relaxing for some reason and we sat on the porch enjoying watching the birds, especially the hummingbirds.   I was playing with the camera on my new phone and this is what I got:



A hummingbird in flight!  That made my day!!

I hope your week has been relatively less stressful and I hope next week is even better for all of us.

Love, Jean

Thank you for reading.

I think this retrograde is doing a number on a lot of people. I've read several posts from friends on how it's just been a rough one this time around.
What a lovely picture of the hummer!!! I haven't tried to take pictures of any yet this year.
I need to mix up a new batch of food for them and set it out. They like to do fly bys at my ears when I'm outside, kind of a 'hey where's our food' nudge :)

I installed a hummingbird feeder just in front of my office/studio window and keep glancing to catch them. This makes me utterly happy and it's often about the little things.
This is a beautiful shot you got :D

Oh my gosh, that hummingbird photo! What a fantastic shot!

I'm glad you're feeling more relaxed. I hope that continues and that you and your husband enjoy your new phones.

What a great photo, well done on capturing it in flight. They are such tiny perfect creatures aren't they. Sorry about your tooth, I haven't been able to see a dentist for 18 months now as they are only doing emergencies so who knows what will have happened in the meantime. This virus has a knock-on effect in so many areas. Elle xx
