Need that spark of beauty and color especially this spring, I guess. Your flowers look great. My geraniums don't have much at all in the way of flowers yet, but they will. I'm sure yours will, too. The rain must be getting to you. Hope you see some sunshine soon! :)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-9377421973418257572022-05-15T17:40:12.431-07:002022-05-15T17:40:12.431-07:00I find it hard to stay positive when we have long ...I find it hard to stay positive when we have long bouts of rain. My spirit is happier in the sunshine. We have projects to do around the house but when we had fine weather this past week, we took advantage and when for walks and picnics.

Don't think I slept for a week. <br />Well you have some color going on your porch. <br />We have had a wet Spring also but I never complain about the rain. Been through too many droughts.

We went for a mile long walk in the neighborhood and I am getting stronger. Now today we are back to rain. I am tired of being cold!<br />We have all of our plants planted but they are not thriving in this chill. It did make the tulips last a long time though. We aren't even going to consider planting seeds in the ground yet.<br />I saw the article about the black hole but I didn't read it. It's all too big for me to fathom and therefore it sort of gives me the creeps. I'll have to stay on the periphery of space science I guess.

We haven't had a spring like this in a while, although I do remember a rainy chilly one years ago that lasted until early July. <br /><br />I have a friend who is a physicist, and I love hearing him rhapsodize about the images available with this new generation of telescopes -- like a kid in a toy store. Truly amazing.<br /><br />When I'm not at the cabin (with no internet), I love to start my Sunday mornings with your posts. Thanks for continuing to share your life reflections.Galen Pearlhttps://www.galenpearl.com/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-54199815808185823242022-05-15T09:26:04.141-07:002022-05-15T09:26:04.141-07:00I think it's normal to have times of non-inter...I think it's normal to have times of non-interest in things one once found enjoyable. This feeling comes and goes with the seasons IMO. I know that I had basically lost interest in gardening for a bit - only hanging herbs around the front entrance. But lately I've felt the desire to raise veggies again... and although late in the season, do plan to plant next week and am excited about it. Painting and pottery have gone by the wayside for now, but reading books and writing stories still bring enjoyment. <br /><br />And although I like rain, too much is definitely a downer. I used to love stormy weather, still fascinated by it. And although hurricanes never bothered me, I have to admit that tornadoes put the fear of God in me.<br /><br />And like you, I find science fascinating... black holes included.Rianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09472421271620543536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-46569701277228310162022-05-15T08:27:21.511-07:002022-05-15T08:27:21.511-07:00Constant rain can get one down...my apartment feel...Constant rain can get one down...my apartment feels humid sometimes when rain is happening outside. But I live where clouds just park on the valley between the mountains.

Speaking of views, I too was marveling at that blurry image of the closer black hole. What fascinates me just as much is the ability for today's scientists to locate them, let alone photograph one. One scientist said that recent image was akin to looking for a donut on the surface of the moon using an ordinary telescope. What a find! Well, hope your week ahead is a good one DJan. Don't fall down any black holes. :^)ApacheDughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05520433539816634566noreply@blogger.com
