pink screen showed up again on laptop. It is impossible to see through and triggers a migraine. so I rebooted twice then did a system restore. Took a nap while that was happening. Came back and still pink. grabbed the screen to change the angle of the dangle and it cleared.

45 on the turntable Kitty Kallen- Little Things Mean a Lot and I don't think you love me anymore

Then that finished listening to 45s and back to 33s

Bach & Vivaldi

June 15

Woke from a nap to the sound of back up beepers. Thought nothing of it until I was on deck retrieving aired laundry. Saw 2 National Grid trucks.Parked side by side they were there for a good 15 minutes.By the time I got the camera they were gone. But noticed a box on top of the trailer below

as I had to access the turn on for my hose below I saw this  LOL

Thern the puddle from the dehumidifier run off across the way

pink forsythia always a welcome burst of color.

making slow progress on puzzle- 1,000 small pieces!

June 19 2026

on the turntable today as I sorted more jigsaw puzzle pieces

Cello- De Falla and Erica Morini

Oistrack, Slleeping Beauty and Ten Years After cellophane still stuck to it

As I was doing dishes this afternoon I saw a bee on the sceen at the sink. Capptured it in the honey jar that once contained the honey Jer made.

Released it after I brought in my laundry.

My food chaair & bench

manhole cover cleaned up

Mike's Corvette

National grid truck. When I saw it was not Blue Eyes I lost interest :)

I noticed table and trailer had been moved. I guess for the bee people

June 23

on the turntable- Woodstock album- a flashback to my early 20s. I see a cat in that photo that looks like a frightened wet white cat

3 pots of wildflower seeds coming along. I should fertilize again soon.

trimmed back espalier hydrangea on the outside stairs. hard to tell which is before and which if after. Hard to clip with one hand holding on for safety and the other clipped blindly with clippers 

*

all 3 hydrangea types are profuse. Maybe because of that harsh, long severe Winter we had

oak leaf hydrangea seen from the deck

pink honeysuckle

Monday the 22nd of June I felt ambitious: To sand and paint polyurethane onto the woodwork of the kitchen cabinets and window sills. Then I cleaned the apartment. Gotta strike while the iron is hot. also did turntable table no photo.

The latest culinary adventure- simply sauteed tomatoes almost blackened. not on purpose tasty!
