Did you get to see the Northern Lights Friday night? I forgot about them Friday night, until Saturday morning when I saw pictures on Facebook. I kept an eye out Saturday night for them, but there really wasn’t much to see.
It’s at times like this that it’s good everyone everywhere has a cell phone with a camera. (I was unsure if I wanted to say everyone has a cellphone with a camera or everyone has a camera that also makes phone calls! Hehe.) A lot of great pictures were posted online and on the news. I can remember seeing them years ago when I was a little kid. It’s mind boggling that something that happened millions of miles away on the surface of the sun can affect things here on earth.
I didn’t have a problem with any electronics on Friday, but Saturday night my Kindle Fire was acting really weird.

Several different types of flowers were discovered in our yard while mowing. A red rose was growing outside the bedroom window. I didn’t even know there was a rose bush there. I thought it was a piece of a red solo cup!
There were also some little pink and white flowers in my flower garden, from that seeded carpet thingy that I set out two years ago. Another group of plants are up in that area also.

When driving to Eureka the other day I noticed the roadway on the north side (westbound lane) was completely removed. It’s fascinating how they can remove half of a bridge, rebuild it, then move to the other side.
