Went to a Birthday Party for a friend yesterday. A good band was playing.

Today I will be baking a Pineapple-Upside Down Cake.

A Rose for Eva

I had some imaging done yesterday. Cancer and lymph node problems have been ruled out. It seems there could be at least 50 other causes, more tests to come.

A Rose for Eva

Forever in my Heart

A striking red rose, prominently displayed against a softly blurred background that enhances its vivid color. The petals exhibit a rich crimson hue, with a slightly textured surface that suggests a few delicate water droplets, glistening like tiny jewels in the light. Each petal is elegantly curled, indicating the passage of time and perhaps a hint of fading beauty. The leaves at the base are a lush green, providing a beautiful contrast to the warm tones of the flower.

Symbolically, roses often represent love and passion, making this particular rose a poignant reminder of fleeting moments of beauty. The juxtaposition of its vibrant color and slight wilting may evoke themes of transience and the bittersweet nature of love. This delicate balance between vibrancy and decay encapsulates the complexity of emotions tied to such floral symbols.

Solar Up and Running

Received the part on Wednesday, had to work in the gallery on Thursday, so I couldn't install it until Friday.

I went up early on Friday and installed the last cable. I then hooked everything up and charged the batteries. I turned the system on and checked everything to be sure it was operating properly. The only problem was attempting to get my internet working. Two hours later it was still not working so I left.

Came back on Saturday and checked all the systems. Worked on the internet for another couple of hours, no luck. Sunday I moved back to my house. Finally, was able to fix the internet. All systems are working.

Reviewing more Pictures

Received and e-mail from the solar company, I should receive my part on Wednesday. Depending on the time they deliver it I may be able to install it. Otherwise it will have to wait until Friday, as I will be at the gallery on Thursday.

I was contacted by a friend to assist her in finding a painting for her new office. I will be going out to see what I may find for her.

Still going through my SD cards, here are some more photographs.

On Monday, I went back to my house and started to hook up my new batteries. Four and a half hours to move 4000lbs of batteries, undo all the old batteries and hook up the new ones. Unfortunately, I found one cable that was corroded and am waiting for a new one to arrive. I then should have electricity, again.

Waiting

 This past week I have spent numerous hours waiting for deliveries that were scheduled, cancelled and rescheduled. First was a delivery from Amazon that took three attempts before they finally got it to me. First they said there was a dog on the property, there isn’t. I do not know the reason they didn’t make the second one. The package was marked that they needed a signature for some reason, so that cancelled the third attempt. The fourth time they delivered it, did not ask for a signature, did not knock on the door, just left the package. Great job by Amazon, not.

At the same time I was scheduled to receive my new solar batteries on Thursday, cancelled and changed to Friday, cancelled and changed to Monday. Monday I am waiting for my delivery to come between, 12 and 4. At 4 I called and am told they will be there around 6. At 6, as I am calling, I look out the window and see the truck going to my neighbor’s house, I hang up and run down the driveway to direct him to my house. He unloads two pallet with 2000lbs of batteries. I then have to secure them in a locked shed, they are very heavy. I will have to go back and remove the old batteries and replace them with the new ones. I am not looking forward to shifting 4000lbs of batteries.

The picture today I have re-edited a picture from 2018. A pair of Curved-billed Thrashers are protecting their nest from a Bull Snake. They would take turns harassing it and would jump out of the way when it would attempt to strike them. They were finally able to chase it away.

I am currently going through all my SD card and reloading them on my iMac. So far only one corrupted disk, I will try a few other ways to retrieve the information off of it.
