It was a gorgeous fall day yesterday, so we had a picnic up on the land. Andy had bought a long extension cord and ran one of the fans in the greenhouse on the lowest setting. So as soon as got there we went in to check to see how hot is was. It was comfortable, not hot at all. So he shut off the fan and we immediately felt the temperature rise. There was a lot of residual heat, which bodes well for extending the growing season.
We played around with our cameras some more, understanding the pros and cons of each of them. This time we included my iPad and iPhone (internet only, Torben gave me his old iPhone 7 Plus so I could use its camera).
One of our traditions up there is to turn on the internet and have me take and send a picture to Kaitlin and some friends. I usually do it with my iPad, but this time I used this picture from my iPhone:
I tried sending it from my iPhone but it wouldn’t go, so I used AirDrop to send it to my iPad and had better luck there. I think I now know what the problem was, but it wasn’t worth spending a lot of time on it then.
Anyway, we old folks are managing to keep ourselves amused learning all sorts of new things. How is it going with you?

however it was done it turned out to be a great picture!
and I celebrated our very FIRST day of an entire day feeling like FALL!
oh it’s simply wonderful!
no rain. but fresh crisp cool air! heaven. xo
I’m so happy for you! I love the cooler weather, too, but our summer hasn’t been nearly as bad as yours.
yep, I got a few pictures via my email…of the Andy and his baby Redwood. I think that some of your “sends” worked even though you possibly didn’t think they did…
I’m always learning – not always as expected. Like some little pages I coffee dyed last evening, and I thought I had nailed it – this morning things didn’t get dried as quickly as before.
but I did find a solution to the “ironing surface issue” – yes I have a contraption that you put up but it and me are never on the same wavelength and it’s quite the wrong size. I was thinking that a large board (sign/sturdy wood) I had in the shed might work over the laundry tub and the adjacent washer…it does. And it “works” well as ironing board. Easy to take off, like this morning to run the washer…
I think, the area may work for other reasons, even though there isn’t much room in there…
Good for you! It’s fun finding creative solutions to problems, isn’t it?
The desktop on my computer completely disappeared this afternoon, so I spent a lot of time trying to get it back. At first I thought the backup was corrupted too, and hopefully other things haven’t disappeared. Good chance to practice equanimity and having a sense of humor.
I am glad you are learning your new cameras. The one with the Iphone is great.
It takes great pictures, but it’s a bit cumbersome for Andy to use.
Sounds like you two had a nice day
Yes. 🙂
Sound like a mighty good day
Coffee is on
