beloved, big girl pants, burnt out, light bulb, shopping, widow

been thinking of light bulbs a lot lately and recently had a conversation with a friend about them…

a few days ago one of the bulbs in the living room started smoking and then blew… now I have to replace it, sigh… 

I find shopping for them crazy making…
there are a million kinds to choose from and they all look the same to me… and it is never clear what one is the right one for the particular job…

you can never find the same one even if you have the burnt out one with you…

George seemed to enjoy finding just the right bulb for each purpose… and he didn’t seem to have trouble doing it…

her husband also likes shopping for light bulbs… 

odd how men seem to find pleasure in finding just the right one…

wish I had someone to find a replacement for this, lol…

think I will take the bulb to a store and then find someone to help me pick out what I need…

had a lovely few minutes when I got home… walked into the living room to put away my purse…

the light was shining into the room and I went and got my phone so that I could take some pictures…

spent a wonderful few minutes taking shots of the various flowers in the light…

the sunlight was gorgeous as it streamed into the space…

the mandevilla is struggling with being in the house and the buds are opening in a very strange fashion…

love this picture of the new orchid with some of the blossoms in the light and some in shadow…

on Sunday my son-in-law adjusted my timers so they would come on a bit earlier… it has been great to come downstairs in the morning and have it light… but tonight it was dark…

apparently one of the bulbs is burnt out… not sure I have a replacement… guess I’ll be sorting that out, lol…
