May 21st Storm Damage
Here a few images from the storm damage in the Madison, Wis area. Nowhere near the carnage of Iowa, so we got very lucky. Forty some thousand where without power
. It could take days to restore power to the west side of the metro area.

@Therapist4u , sorry I've been lax on catching up. Belated thanks for the Mom's Day greeting even though I'm not a mother (unless you count the adopted furkids 😉).
@LaDolceVita , l♡ved the picture of Janie and Tiggy.
@Frozenoem , take care of yourself.
Everyone, stay 🆒. Summer is just beginning.

What’s happening is that some of my FAV PORCH PEEPS, besides you & Dave @DaveMcK, are not seeing my replies to the messages they posted to me. For example, I wished a HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY on 05-11-2024 and 05-10-2024 to @catwoman500 @MsStretch and @LaDolceVita & don’t know if any of them saw my messages.
like in these links: to @LaDolceVita https://community.aarp.org/t5/Our-Front-Porch/MORNING-ROLL-CALL-2024/m-p/2555911#M84978

and @MsStretch https://community.aarp.org/t5/Our-Front-Porch/MORNING-ROLL-CALL-2024/m-p/2555915#M84980
so if they happen to see this, I’ll say again:
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY TO YOU!
Hope you’re all doing well! Please have a wonderful week too!
Stay safe....&...Take care!

Also where am I supposed to start a new post within the PORCH, for peeps to see & comment if they wanted to, like to share my new flowers?

Good morning to all of you FRONT PORCHERS out there! Do you have plans for a Summer vacation yet?
We will be returning to our timeshare at Lake Geneva over Labor Day weekend. Our family will be able to swim, golf, bike and walk.
We are due to have another boat tour of the lake again.
We fix most of our meals with everyone taking turns.

Got it, bought one camp like that, granite slabs, come along and a winch took care of it. Presently only one oak tree in green or budding out. Probably because it late Spring temp 44 and that’s with full sun.
I live but won’t be mobile for awhile, had to take a cross country ride ATV and will be paying for it, for a month or until temps remain in 60’s.Until then it’s med’s and PT.I’m not 60 anymore.
Attempted capture of Northern lights twice , not happening this time.,hope all are well, I’ll be off line for awhile movement is a nono except PT.

@Frozenoem , oh yes, I remember the ol' pinhole method. I also remember when we lived in Germany, we used a piece of smoked glass. NOT RECOMMENDED! Of course, at that time, we didn't know better. Not like eclipses happened all the time. This was long before the techie times. Wonder we didn't all go blind. Although who knows? Maybe there were residual affects, just hard to distinguish between that and old age. 😆

Thought about using over-exposed 220 films but, I had no problem seeing my iPhone lite thru film. That Bill Nue guy is dangerous.

Hey, Peeps,
@DaveMcK @SummerIsTooHOT @MsStretch @Therapist4u @Frozenoem
Did try to see the eclipse, but we had off and on clouds. I was in and out of the house trying to catch a glimpse. The glasses were good. I do remember in 1991 my husband and I were in Hawaii during a well-hyped total solar eclipse. We were on Kauai, and the best viewing was supposed to be on the big island of Hawaii, but they had clouds, so actually we saw it better than the folks who had planned the big expensive vacay on the big island expressly for the eclipse.
@Frozenoem ...At that time the glasses were not that available and so I had prepared the cardboard pinhole thing and it was fun looking at the crescent patterns on my husband's shirt LOL.
On Monday I enjoyed the 90% of what I could actually see. I wore my 33-year-old souvenir tee shirt from the Hawaiian eclipse.
Put one of the lenses over my phone and took a few photos.
This is the best one...you can kind of see the moon starting to come over the bottom of the sun....
It's kind of blurry but had to enlarge it so I could see it and therefore the blur.
