I so miss the sun and its warmth. All this rain and accompanying thunder storms has me dug in like a mole in its hole. Yesterday I couldn't even bring myself to write due to computer glitches and my woolly headedness. I don't function in this kind of weather. One or two days, yes, but a week?!! Last night's thunder and lightning had me buried deep down in my recliner and even the cat joined me. I watched one movie on television after another.
This morning I had the common sense to put my special light on and everything looks so much brighter. I forgot all about it but happened to glance up toward the ceiling and spied it. I haven't used it in ages. I remember what it is for and yes, it works great, when I use it. I bought it online for SAD Syndrome. It's so bright I think I could get a sun tan from it.
The bright cheery looking pink flowers pictured here are actually weeds. Pink Mullein I believe it is called. Anyway, last week I was tearing them out of my garden but there were so many offspring that I gave up the battle. They are like mint, they just keep spreading and spreading. Leaving them to do more important things, I discovered they actually look quite lovely in their rural setting. They lead right up the stone walk to the trees which we actually have more of than yard. When in full bloom they add to the bareness of my plantings this year. I think I will just go wild from now on. I will enjoy the hay growing among the yellowed greenery of the long gone daffodils. They need the nutrition for next year's growth. To be truthful, I just can't climb the rock walls to pull them out. No matter, going wild seems to be a good thing at my age.
There have been so many hummingbirds this morning and although I haven't put out their feeders this year, they still attack the waning clematis and the beautiful hanging fuchsia in front of the patio door. I can see them quite clearly from my chair and they are fun to watch. Especially when they start chasing one another. Just like little kids, they're afraid the other will get more than his or her share.
I know my computer is going to bite the dust. It has been around for quite some time and I knew it would have to be replaced. I'll have to do some looking or bartering. It's still great for doing solitaire and mindless games, but I like to write and this isn't cooperating with me again today. It just doesn't seem to catch up with my typing and then I have to go back and make corrections. I gave it a good cleaning yesterday and got rid of all my pictures thinking it would help. Now it seems worse. Most likely it went into shock!
Last night I watched the movie Pearl Harbor with hubby. The wrong thing to watch before going to bed. I've only seen it three or four times already, Hubby watches the war movies over and over and I was content just to be with him. I can't handle certain ones, like Band of Brothers of which we have the set. Hubby will watch it over and over on TV though with all those dumb commercials. Potty breaks at our age. Also there are so many at once we can sneak in a snack also and not miss a bit of the movie.
When I got up at 5 this morning, he was still watching another movie. I guess he will sleep until 2 and then we will go grocery shopping. I'd like to go alone while it's early and no crowds, but this is his big event for the day. He always hated to shop but this seems to be something he has acquired a taste for since retirement. I only want to go and buy cherries...
Have a good day folks.
Hugs
