The blog was shut down last night by yet another lightning and thunderstorm. We were out having dinner with a friend when it happened, and it took a while to fix it.

You might be seeing some strange messages when you access the blog, but these problems are being worked on, and thanks for your patience.

I have a backlog of nice pictures, including these three flowers.

I don’t know the name of the purple flower above; it was in Maria’s garden. I did know the names of the two below, but I forgot them overnight – too many flowers and names.

I’ve got the tabs somewhere. I have an interesting backlog of farm photos I couldn’t post last night; I’ll get to them later. Glad to be back.

I always feel incomplete when the blog is down.
