reorganized the chairs on the deck on Monday to face the sun…
then I brought out blankets for each one so we would be comfortable while we had our eyes to the sky…
everyone brought their eclipse glasses from October, when we saw nothing due to clouds…
coffee was ready, snacks were brought out and my friends arrived an hour early for our regular Monday gathering…
at first the clouds covered the activity but eventually we got to see some of the eclipse…
this was one of the two photos I took… I held the glasses over my iPhone’s lens and one of my friends pushed the button, lol…
it was fun to be together and enjoy this phenomenon…
another great experience with these wonderful women, one who was on FaceTime, lol…

Saturday was another glorious day in the garden…
and I started planting… yay… I added compost and fresh soil to the veggie gardens and then planted seeds as well as a pepper, some squash, cucumber and the beefsteak tomatoes… the seedlings came from Jonathan’s Farm and were in great shape…
excited to see if anything grows up and over the arch…
brought out the dahlia tubers and got them into planters as well as the new dahlia that I got from Lily Stone Gardens… it has been growing very fast… and finally put in a number of the morning glory seedlings that have been growing in the house…

the vase looks pretty cool in these photos…
enjoying the afternoon sunshine…

up early on Friday to put out the box of pass-me-along items…
had to go back upstairs and get the phone to take a few shots of the beautiful moon…
tried to use my Nikon, but the battery was dead, lol… it is now sitting on the counter getting charged… I think I’ve hit something that is keeping it on wifi all the time which is why the battery keeps dying… going to have to do a bit of research to fix that😳…
so, the moon isn’t quite as clear as I was hoping for, but it does show how beautiful the morning was;-)…
good start to the day;-)…

stood at the window and watched chickadees, a nuthatch, and sparrows at the feeders…
and my neighbour shovelling his sidewalk… he is very particular and does a great job every time… it is fun to watch and makes me giggle every time, because my beloved would have been very impressed;-)…
besides shovelling, he also swept the front steps…

I love my new leggings… I had ordered a large and an extra-large pair and as they both fit, have decided to keep both of them…
they have side pockets, but they open to the back, not the front which seemed odd…
but, because of that, my phone fits into the spot perfectly and doesn’t jab into me when I sit down, lol…
they are thicker and that is keeping me warmer inside the house, as I try to keep the thermostat set lower… although I think it is a going to get raised up before too long…

really impressed with the photos this iPhone takes…
yesterday it snowed for most of the day and I took these photos…
this one was out the front of the house at 6:35 pm… sadly, it was dark out there…
and this one was out the back a few minutes later…
great night shots…

yesterday morning, while I was sitting in the living room, I had some fun watching this little guy collect and snack on sunflower seeds in the sunlight;-)…
they may have given me the stink eye…

a few days ago my new iPhone arrived…
my grandson arranged the whole thing and brought over the new phone…
he transferred all the data, made sure everything was working and added a protective screen…
transferring from one phone to another is certainly much easier than the last time I upgraded my phone…
I’ve taken a few pictures and am very impressed with the results…
now I will have to learn what is new and different…
wish me luck🤪
