It was a gorgeous afternoon. I did a lot of writing and took some pictures I liked. I’m going to the pantry in the morning to take some photos there. I just learned that my computer, the centerpiece of my work life and my blog, needs a new hard drive.

I have six memorable flower photos here today. My experimentation is paying off. So is Spring.

I learned today that my iMac—the core of my work and storage for my blog and photos—needs a new hard drive. It certainly deserves one.

Maria and I will take a few days off in June to drive up to Mac Nurse in Stowe, Vermont, to have a new hard drive installed. I’m told the new hard drive will last longer than I will. Good, I thought Maria would use it one day. She insists I’ll still be around.

We’ll be away for two or three days early in June.  We see it as a mini-vacation; we both want and need a breather. The animals here are pleased to be out on the grass again, the first since last October.

There will be no blog then. It will be a great relief to get the new hard drive.  I can’t say I’m surprised. This IMac is a true workhorse. Today was my first day on my new diabetes medication, Ozempic. So far, so good. There have been no side effects.

I still need to find out the name of this one, but it wants to be in my pictures.

Anemone, I think.

A beautiful mix in the sun

The White Rose, thanks again, Sue Lamberti, for awakening me to them.
