A Silver Lining (?)

I've conveyed in previous blogs my struggles with the weather and getting the mulch spread.  Many things came together just yesterday.

On Monday I decided that since two weeks had passed with no sign of the camera, I'd drive to Costco and see about purchasing a new one.  That was one of my pressing errands that morning.  I did buy a new camera.  Later that day I set about registering it on-line, charging the battery, initializing the memory card, downloading the handbook, etc., etc.  (How was it possible to buy a camera in the past and not have a computer?!)

Tuesday I was out and about running errands.  Since it began to rain really hard I pulled out the umbrella I keep under the seat and used it as I ran in and out of various establishments.  When I finally got home and started to get out of the car I dropped my car keys onto the floor.  I reached down to pick them up, and . . . lo, and behold, there was the "lost" camera.

Somehow it must have gotten pushed under the seat and it was pulled out with the umbrella.  I HAD searched the car (and Hubby's truck, and the house) but hadn't found it.

Now I have two cameras.  Hubby suggested I could probably take the new one back--but I think not, since I've already done lots of things to it and with it (and destroyed the packaging trying to get it out) -- so I'll have a back up now.  Might have been nice to save the money, though.

So, as proof that the mulch did get spread, I'm added pictures of some of the areas I worked on.  Pictures taken on the new camera, this morning.

(The light areas are sunshine contrasting with the remaining shaded areas.)


(You can see that I still need to get to the deck railing!)

You don't need to go to Hawaii to see beauty - it's in your yard. Very nice indeed.
I figured you'd find the "lost" camera but now you have two, just in case.
