Tuesday's visit to
South Coast Plaza yielded these
window reflections
in her eagerness
to greet my sister, Molly
knocked this blossom down
and I tried to save
it using this juice bottle
by the microwave

1. The rain has stopped and the sun is shining ... it's a beautiful day at the beach here in Southern California ... SPRING has sprung in my front yard already with Nasturtiums, Irises, and Crocus in bloom and my roses coming back already!
2. My neighbor brought me a Veteran's Honor rose bush for my yard on Friday ... a gift from her father who has raised roses for a long time. I'm trying to decide just where I want to plant it, but the soil's way too wet right now so it's sitting on my front patio. What a lovely birthday gift and delightful addition to my garden!

3. I managed to get my Dell 1720 (running Vista) to access my very old Photosmart 7150 printer ... finally. When I tried to hook it up a while back, I couldn't get the drivers from the original CD to work because they were designed for Windows 98 ... but this last time I decided to just plug the printer in and see what happened. When asked if I had the drivers I said no ... so when asked if I wanted to search for them I said yes ... and apparently that's what I could have done in the first place because now I can print again. Of course I can't scan, copy, or fax and it's very S L O W ... but it's good enough for now at least to be able to print however long it takes.
4. Unfortunately, that same Dell 1720 (running Vista) continues to crash to a Blue Screen periodically when I try to visit blogs ... so I'm still behind ... trying to catch up as I'm able. Guess I'll be on the phone with Dell again next week trying to figure out a fix with tech support.
5. My heart goes out to all those in Chile affected by the recent massive earthquake and my prayers are with survivors coping with the aftermath. It's humbling to consider the power of nature to destroy ... especially knowing just how many faults run under the place I reside here in Southern California near the beach.

I like the blue sky in the first two reflections :)
lovely photos, I particularly like all the depth of reflections in the photo of the blossom in the bottle
I love your "grateful reflections"--more little peeks into your world. Lovely!
I'm envying you those hints of spring!
Now that's a reflection picture that reminds me of home.
Happy Birthday!
Thanks to Molly, you get to enjoy the blossom indoors. Pretty reflections of the juice bottle and Nordstrom window.
Lucky you to have so many spring flowers already blooming and to have a beautiful new birthday rose bush! Hope your computer problems are soon solved. I also have a Dell, and it has been running slowly lately - will try to get some (local) tech support this week.
I love your cloud reflections in the first picture. I sure hope Dell can finally help you, it's just a shame!
Very sweet reflection. & SC plaza is always a nice place to spend a few hours...plus it sounds like it was a very productive day.
Such pretty sky and cloud reflections, what a gorgeous blue. I'm sure you're happy to see that after all the rain. And good luck with Dell support! Kathy
I like the Nordstrom shot best. Nice work.
I think you're really going to like your new Veterans Honor rose. We have Veterans Honor in our yard and it is one of our favorites. I like your Weekend Reflections.
Hi, I am so excited that you now have a Veterans Honor Rose.... It is my favorite of all of our roses. It produces LARGE red roses and the smell is incredible!!!!! You are going to love it.
Great reflection pictures also... Glad you are having some sunshine now!!!!
Glad to be home!
Hugs,
Betsy
Great reflections, my favorite is the bottle. It looks like you have lots of sunshine and blue skies.
You said your computer crashes when visiting blogs. What browser are you using? If you are using IE maybe switch to Firefox. That may not be the problem but it's worth a try.
I like your Cherokee Indian quote. Very wise.
