Hey, Peeps,
@DaveMcK @Winter2024 @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.
@catwoman500 Trumpet vines have
been planted, just hope they come up. Dogs were busy near the site because of the blood meal placed in the 2 holes.
Hi again @LaDolceVita So...’Trumpet vines’
(I had to look up 1st...LOL!)
Trumpet vine is a native North American plant that produces stunning red, orange, or yellow flowers that attract hummingbirds and bees.
And FWIW: I found this by Better Homes & Gardens
How to Plant and Grow Trumpet Vine

Hope you’re doing well!
As always...Stay safe....&...Take care!

Hi again @LaDolceVita
So... AFA "Still a few we have not heard from."
Dave @DaveMcK is busy posting something nearly every day....I just replied to one of his yesterday too.... & he also kudoed one of my other posts recently! And I just replied to Lee @LeeS4949 an hour ago. So besides you, Lee & Dave...I’ve interacted lately with some of the other BEST PORCH PEEPS: @catwoman500 @MsStretch
But haven’t heard from Froze! @Frozenoem
t was on April 9th....so I hope he sees this.... & decides to come out of hibernation...LOL!
AFA ‘Trumpet vines’....I’m sorry to hear they ain’t behaving like they supposed to...so I’z a wundrin....are you considering planting other things...like other pretty plants....some herbs or veggies,.... or even some bushes against the house there? Also it looks like you have an excellent place for hanging plants from the upper slats...or ‘rafters’ I see.
Anyhoot....
Had to add some levity to this pic....
”who is this?” (it’s hard for me to see but .....the black ‘thing’ under the windows ....it looks like a doggie lying down)....
and ....(the white thing) ....it looks like “it’s coming up nicely” LOL...
Hope you’re doing well!
As always...Stay safe....&...Take care!
