Thursday marked 10 years since I started blogging…

and when I looked at my stats, they tell me I have reached 500 followers… wow…

it also means that ten years have passed since my beloved left me…

just yesterday a delivery arrived and the box smelled of cigarette smoke… haven’t smelled that for years and it reminded me of him, as he was a smoker…

I miss him all the time, but I also know he would be proud of how I have grown over these years…

months ago the Nest smoke detector on the ceiling upstairs stopped connecting to the wifi because the password changed and I couldn’t figure out how to reset it…

a few weeks ago I decided to delete it from my app and add it again so that I could get the correct password installed…

after I deleted it, and tried to add it back, I discovered that I needed the bar code or serial number… I was so excited that I had the box it came in… but, no serial number… it was located on the back of the detector… so, I just left it alone…

while the ladder was in the house I took it upstairs, removed the detector from the ceiling, found the code, added it to the app, and got it up and connected again… then attached it back to the ceiling and took the ladder back to the garage…

glad I thought of it while the ladder was still in the house…

this morning I was watching TV and heard many sirens, very close…

ran downstairs and watched a fire truck shoot down the street… looked out the front door to see it turning towards the next street and when I looked over I saw another truck already flashing its lights across the creek…

there was a huge cloud of smoke coming up from someone’s yard;-(…

wasn’t too long and the smoke had dissipated… sure hope everyone is okay…

tonight, as I started to write, I heard more sirens… not a good day for folks…

bright, iris, poppies, sky, smoke, sun

this morning the sun looked very strange in the sky…

  
it was orange with a halo around it…

most of the poppies were blooming… all at the same time… think there might be one left…

  
made sure to get some photos because they often barely last a day…

 
leaving the driveway I got a picture of the front flower bed… looks nice after all my work on Saturday…

I picked two beautiful purple irises to take to the office…

 
they are beautiful and brighten up my space…

as the day went on the light outside changed and it looked as though the sun was covered by fog, which turned out to be smoke…

rather odd…
