Update about blogCa

Who knew all this would happen afterwards! Flat Creek in November, 2024. Much changed by the force of the hurricane floods in Sept. 2024. The deck of the bridge is now under that pile of debris.

Lenten Roses and how the pyramids were built!

 

Helen has lots of Lenten Roses in her yard, but my photos were somehow damaged transferring them...which is why I'm looking for a new computer.


When we get half way around the lake, there's a convenient bench with a great view, and these ducks also stopped for a rest. They are so funny, even when it's not very hot, they choose to get into the shade to rest.

A couple of geese were happily munching on little seeds, probably grass seeds, spread about next to the water and the path.


And new science is talking about how the pyramids of Egypt were built..video HERE.
No slaves. Teams of expert craftsmen. From Open Culture's article HERE.

Today's quote:

John Locke said, “The actions of men are the best interpreters of their thoughts.”

    1. That's good to know. I noticed you cut some...so apparently they last inside in a vase also.

    1. Well, I notice them, but have yet to say hello. Maybe they are waiting for me to say that, or perhaps another word that they can understand. Who knows?
