THis week's goings on

 

My new orchid, which my friend has found the name for.  A Clivia. Thanks Susan!

My homemade immitation crab salad. I stopped halfway through to take a photo.

What looking out my window gives today. The maple leaves are at a small size still, so the mountain is still visible.

My friend drove up to the Spruce Pine area where we passed these mines.

Spruce Pine has a history of mining, but I think now they just mine silica for technological use.

My friend was given this wonderful steel cart for holding ware boards. It was welded steel, and several guys loaded it onto her truck. I hope Cathy finds two more strong people to unload it. 

I loved these wonderful tall pines. Not sure the movie I took will work. It's a good test.

My second cataract removal went well, not quite as much fun watching the colors while my eye was completely numb and being altered. But you only have your first eye surgergy once! I'm thinking my level of anxiety was lower, so perhaps that affected my psychedelic experience. I thought it interesting that all the young nurses would say, "Oh you're from that era." when I used the psychedelic term. They would just say, kaleidoscope colors. Yep, I'm a old hippy. Love them physhedellic colors!

Today's quote:

Between the dark sky and the dark earth we hang a light in a dark tree and sing of our wonder together.
