It 's A Conspiracy

My Internet Provider did a security update after I left for the weekend trip.

When I returned, my access to blogs and to my own E-mail has been limited and/or totally blocked.

Apparently something went terribly wrong.

The nice technical support person told me they were working hard to return us to normal service.

Even my own blog is sometimes blocked. (It took me 4 hours last night to post my melting sunset. )

Hope to be back 100% soon.


Willowtree. The sunset was about 5:20 p.m.

Don't you just love it when the improve things for you, Blogger used to do that all the time.

Thanks for the sunset time, that's not too bad around here it can be as early as 4:45 in winter.

you have to love that they are always trying to make Tech Experts out of us that want it SIMPLE! If I wanted to be a Tech I would have taken lessons for it!

Hope all is well soon

Ouch.

Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor Internet hacking stays this blogger from the swift completion of her appointed posting.

That's a really effective censor -- it actually keeps you from accessing your own thoughts. Orwellian thought police, here we come!

I know how that feels to be denied because of your IP address....remember when Typepad wouldn't let me comment?

Did you ever get the Ballet pics of the kids? I'm assuming not.

Oh tech support. As former internet tech support I can tell you that 90% of what they're telling you is lip service and 2% is truth. You can decide what the other 8% is. "we're working hard to return you to normal service" means that when Melvin gets back from lunch he'll take a look. Good luck, Pamela.

An Old Cold Spot

Image
My brother Mike emailed me this photo last night.  He said this was a goodbye salute that he snapped today in his garage where this old freezer has been chugging away since 1988.  That was the year our mama decided she was tired of bending over and digging through it.  Besides, she no longer needed the capacity and hadn't for several years. Mike and my sister-in-law  spent the next 25 years "digging" through this old freezer.  My sis-in-law was very good at keeping it and the cupboards stocked.  The two of them kept promising each other that "It is going to die soon, so we will just keep it until that day." Twenty-five years may seem like a very long life for a freezer.  It is MUCH older than that. Sears only sold Coldspot through 1976.  I thought that my parent's purchased this freezer in the sixties.  My brother said he put the serial number 'on-line' and it matched a 1953 manufacturing date.   Here is a close up of the make and model that

Apparitions in my Garden

Karmyn is the host of Fun Monday this week with a subject that is near and dear to her heart. Not to mention her knees and fingers. But I mentioned them anyway. The subject? --- What's Growing In Your Garden. As soon as I signed up I grabbed my camera and headed out the back door. Alyssum, lady's mantle, gaillardia, Jupiter beard, and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember is blooming in this photo. We didn't put as many annuals in this year so I miss all the yellows and reds that we often enjoy. But, something else showed up in that surprised me. Can it be that my yard is haunted? Cheeky little ghost! A shot from the deck near the hammock shows off some ornamental grass, petunias, pond plants ... and that bold apparitio

Bird Voyeur

The sweet little digital camera that the hubby purchased (after I dropped our old one) has encouraged me to do a little more walking. Last week I took it with me when I walked up the "creek" path, which doubles for joggers and bikers as well. I've seen beavers, mink, deer, birds, birds, birds, and once the tail end of a bear run running away through the brush. Of course, without a camera. Now I carry it often. This time I was watching the Belted King Fisher performing an acrobatic display and chattering at the ducks and geese in his fishing territory. I was zooming in on him in a tree across the water when I spotted what I thought was a huge wasp or hornet nest very high in the tree. (Thanks to Susan for bringing up bee's today.) The heavy binoculars were at home, so I continued to try to see it through my camera. Then, a weird movement caught my eye. What I thought was a giant paper wasp nest was really a Great Blue Heron sleeping on one leg with his head ben
