I could probably have managed it, but with a savvy young man around I let him do it. The prompts which come up on the screen walk you through the rest of the online set up. <br /> I find it helps me--physically and mentally--to go outside rather early in the day--to stretch, move about, take note of things in the dooryard and beyond. <br />Our life here is indeed bucolic--though not always 'peaceful!'Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314065896417867122.post-69628974749199107062013-10-10T07:52:54.985-04:002013-10-10T07:52:54.985-04:00Em; We don't have a choice of internet/phone p...Em; We don't have a choice of internet/phone providers in our rural area. Our daughter, a mile away, is forced to use a different one and has on-going issues with unreliable service. <br />Its been so long since I've watched any form of TV that I've no idea of recent programming--I can't imagine Poldark with any but the familiar actors! My daughter and I fell in love with Ross and Demelza when PBS was first available--and Upstairs, Downstairs--I shall have to watch those again!Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314065896417867122.post-59489621430334140832013-10-10T07:39:21.322-04:002013-10-10T07:39:21.322-04:00Jennie; We are blessed with good soil here, althou...Jennie; We are blessed with good soil here, although many gardeners nearby complain of heavy clay. We have a rich deep loam on most of the property, the back field being the exception with slightly denser soil.<br />Our former home in Vermont was a good growing area--clay, but workable. Wyoming soil is thin, alkaline, gritty--and since it never rains there, gardening was a disappointment.<br />I wish I could set up my sewing machine next to yours and stitch along with you--when I was first making quilts a friend and I often did that--with plenty of breaks for tea.Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314065896417867122.post-29040533420517697722013-10-10T06:47:52.534-04:002013-10-10T06:47:52.534-04:00Great post.

That sounded so invigorating. Your whole day was one of productivity and I enjoyed it all.<br /><br />A friend recently told me about Roku and I've been thinking about getting it, so that I can sit in a more comfortable chair to watch you tube movies, etc. on the tv instead of sitting in my desk chair at my computer. Now that you've done it, I need to check into it. I'm sure I'll have to have someone 'geeky' to set it up for me as my dear husband was the one who could do all of that stuff.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing your peaceful and inspiring life.<br /><br />Have a great day today ~ FlowerLadyFlowerLady Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678852154334714784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314065896417867122.post-83705426518286918292013-10-10T05:44:32.744-04:002013-10-10T05:44:32.744-04:00I do wish we could use Netflix but our broadband j...I do wish we could use Netflix but our broadband just won't support streaming video like that. There are so many of those old programs I'd love to watch. Poldark! It's been a very long time.

I should love to be out there today (sunny and clear blue skies), but I need do do some quilt-making too.<br /><br />Your garden has some beautiful plants in it. I love the Phlox too, though mine struggle here. We have poor soil, acidic and thin above a layer of clay or sometimes straight onto a shaley slate bedrock. Good roses don't do well (as in David Austin ones!)<br /><br />I am not missing the painting, although I did see a Farrow and Ball colour the other day which I thought would be perfect for our hallway and stairs . . .<br /><br />Had to smile at soup for breakfast!!! Why not?Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.com
