Friday was a beautiful semi-warm and sunny day…

I spent some time reading on the upper deck and when it warmed up a bit I found the screws for the hammock, removed the umbrella, laid the whole thing down, and attached all four legs tightly… put everything back together and then added a couple of cushions to the hammock chair and it is now perfect;-)… I may have had a short nap in it while taking a break from reading…

I am very happy as the shape of this chair is much more comfortable than the previous one… I think it will get more use, but we shall see…

a little later, I used the fishnet in the bathtub pond to clean out all the dead water hyacinths from last year… then I brought out the wet-vac and sucked out the dead leaves and water… next I put together the pieces for the new pump and set it into the pond… after filling it up, turned on the pump and it worked… yay…

now it is burbling nicely…

feels like I got quite a bit done;-)…

Friday was a great day in the garden…

first time this year I took the time to put out all the cushions… and then Hilda the Gardener arrived and began cleaning up the space… yay…

while she was working away, I climbed into the pond to reset the second pump and cover the cords…

next I brought out the water lilies from the tanks in the house and set them in the pond…

finally I caught and put three goldfish into the pond to see how they fared… maybe next week the rest will move out of the condo…

all in all a great day…

I am so happy…

over the last week more and more of my Google Home products have gone offline…

at first it was 2 tp- link plugs, then a switch, then more of the plugs and finally my Geeni cameras… made me crazy…

and then the printer stopped because it couldn’t find the wifi…

my grandson got the printer going… yay…

the suggestion was that I should delete and then add all of the products back in… I did not want to do that… my plan was to call my provider to see if there was an issue with my internet…

was waiting for another call so didn’t get around to contacting the provider…

just for fun, I went in and turned off my wifi and then turned it back on…

getting ready for bed, I went to turn one of the plugs off manually only to discover that its light was blue, not the orange that meant it wasn’t connected…

checked all the others and they were fine too…

yay 😀…

big girl pants, blessed, family, garden, grass, lawnmower, moments, mow, nature, pond, Technology, water lily, weather, widow, working

this morning when I looked outside the sun was shining and it was a nice temperature…

but, the grass was so tall I didn’t want to go into the garden… since we’ve had a bit of rain and cooler weather it has grown like crazy and my grandsons hadn’t been able to come over and mow for me…

I decided that I would mow it myself… I did buy a lawnmower that starts easily and doesn’t have any cords for just this situation…

so, I moved furniture, mowed, whippersnipped, put furniture back, brought out cushions and finally sat down with a cup of tea to enjoy the space…

it looked spectacular;-)…

and I spotted a water lily bud… yay…

big girl pants, Charge 3, Christmas, display, Fitbit, foibles, support, widow, working

yesterday, mid morning, all of sudden the display on my Charge 3 stopped working… my battery was fully charged and it continued to record and buzzed at appropriate times… just couldn’t see anything… Fitbit foibles…

so I called the Fitbit support line and they told me to hook up to the charger and push the button for 8 seconds… sadly I didn’t have the charger at the office, but connected it when I got home… that didn’t fix it…

it was late when I emailed the person who had sent me the directions, but I got an email back this morning… another set of directions… this time held the button for 15 seconds…

it worked… hurray… don’t realize how much you depend on it until it isn’t working…

hope this isn’t a sign that it is going to have problems… the kids gave it to me for Christmas and I love it;-)…

Friday…
