Snapshots: This and That

The plastic hinge on one side of my laptop snapped off several days ago, which caused the frame of plastic around the screen to separate. I fixed it.


Clamping it with the clip I found in the junk drawer totally counts.

Yes, I should order a new laptop, but this is working for now, so . . . not yet.

The flag that we had been flying in front of our house got shredded in the wind, so we don't have a flag right now. Poppy decided she could take care of the patriotic decorations for the Fourth of July.


Two coloring pages and an original flag drawing on the bottom.

The early-morning sun created a still-life with apricots on the woodstove.


Glowy fruit.

We got eggs from some friends, and I had to laugh at the name on the carton.


I'm imagining a disco ball in the chicken coop.

I made a double batch of popsicles when we had guests here, but I only have four popsicle molds. So I pulled the first batch of frozen popsicles out of the molds and made the next batch with some improvised popsicle sticks.


Plastic-handled butter knives work pretty well, actually.

There you have it! My life, snapshotted.

The local apricot orchard closed, and I am experiencing some apricot envy. I would not like to process bushels, I admit. They look beautiful. Mil

Some manufacturers give discounts on laptops to educators. Worth checking out when the time comes.
