It rained today. Probably for the first time in more than a month. In fact, it poured, along with thunder and lightning. We were at the Farmer's Market this morning when it let loose, and we had to seek shelter. By this afternoon it was partly sunny.
It's currently 10:00PM, and we just finished watching a disaster of a Sounders soccer match against our arch rivals. A score of 5-1 is one to forget. I'll also be ready to be done with the World Cup after the final on Sunday.
We have been busy. Added to the regular tasks around here, on Tuesday, I think it was Tuesday, we bought new iPhones. Since then we have stumbled at following vague directions to transfer data from the old phones to the new, since the "service providers" didn't provide much service. After much finagling, and more help for Tom's phone, we are at least functioning. New and improved is just more complicated.
Tomorrow, which will be today by the time any of you read this, will be my 82nd birthday. We will go to breakfast as usual and then pack up to go to Whidbey Island, where we will meet up with Jill and Irene for an extended weekend. I intend to be lazy, leave most of the cooking to someone else, and enjoy being another year older.
On Saturday Tom and I will attend a Garden and Quilt Show, a biennial show in Mukilteo. There will eventually be photos for you. I will be excited to use my new phone camera.
Now I am finally going to post photos of the garden visit to the Bellevue Botanical Garden that Tom and I took last Sunday. I loved the color and texture contrasts in the plantings. and the pathways through the border.
Enjoy. This is a photo "dump".
See you when I'm a year older.
That's all folks!
