And I’m back, all phoned-up, thanks to Avdi.  There were so many photos I missed, like the beautiful hawk that landed right in the oak tree above me, and all the other critters that paraded in front of me.  I was forced to just look at them, dammit!  I’ve actually had to read books instead of scroll!  I missed all the inane family texting back and forth (not really).  Such hardship.

Today was bearable out, for a change.  I could stand being outside.  Naturally, the kids were moaning and groaning about having had to, imagine, walk home!!   I’m already starting to plot my fall/winter garden strategy.

Here are the first photos I took on my new phone.
