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.

After the Storm - Day 12

Yesterday was a wild, crazy weather day.  The rains came down in sheets and severe thunderstorm warnings went up.  It was stressful listening to what might happen and to be prepared.  Weather alerts by email, weather alerts on Facebook and on TV.  Tornado warnings south of our area.  Flooding in many places and roads closed. Thankfully we are okay and not affected.  Still it was stressful being on alert and I had already been having a some emotional days.  I am grateful for the weather forecasters though.

What a difference a day makes!  I woke up feeling much more relaxed.  I read some magazines on my Ipad before it started getting light out.  My bathroom faces east and I love watching sunrises out the window.  Today was extra special because it was like the universe gave us a reward for such a wild, wet, weather day.

I love taking pictures.  These pictures were taken with my iPad Pro that I use for art.  I love photographing trees and clouds along with sunrises and sunsets.  Here are a couple I shot this morning.

When I see beautiful sunrise pictures I think God made the Earth and then she painted it.
