Happy Thursday, friends! Hope you're having a great week. My snapdragons are starting to bloom. It looks like it's going to be a good year for them!
Happy yellow blooms!
The other day I got a somewhat vague text from my brother - "watch for something being delivered to your house soon." ??? He never sends me anything, lol! Well, the something came on Saturday, and it is one of these -
When I texted to say thank you, he said it was to thank me for everything I do for our mom. So, that was nice! You never know know if the rest of the family realizes what you do.
We figured out a place to hang this, and I planted it yesterday.
I finished this book this afternoon - it's from a favorite series of mine - by Anne Hillerman. These are mysteries set in the Southwest, with Navajo policemen, and lots of Native American culture included. There is another after this one that I'm now waiting for from the library.
LeeAnna's question of the week is about technology. What technology do we use now that wasn't available when I was a kid? - and the answer to that is just about everything! We had a TV, of course, when I was growing up - a black and white one... and I had a transistor radio that I listened to every night to get the latest music. But that was about it! Personal computers, cable TV, VHS, DVDs, smart phones and TVs, streaming - all of it has come in my adult life, and it's pretty hard to say what I could do without anymore!
My phone and my Samsung tablet are pretty much constant companions.
(Unless I'm sewing or reading a paper book.)
Besides calling and texting, I use the phone for photos and
the tablet for email, blogging, and reading the news and ebooks.
I could probably get along without a TV - although I can watch anything I want on my tablet - so that wouldn't really be much of a loss.
I'm definitely attached to my technology!

How sweet of your brother to recognize you for the care that you give! It is a beautiful planter!
My snapdragons are also looking great this year! I love this flower...it blooms all summer! :)
Brothers can often surprise us with their concern. Is Anne Hillerman related to Tony Hillerman?
What a nice gift from your brother! It is nice to be recognized. Your basket looks so pretty, those are great containers! I read a few Anne Hillerman books but stopped after a few. I miss Tony Hillerman! Like you I had a transistor radio that I listened to every night! I felt so cool - lol!
Aww so nice of your brother to acknowledge your hard work.
Amazing! That was so very sweet of your brother. What a good guy! Kudos to you for looking after your Mom. You will never regret it.
What a nice gesture from your brother! I just put a hold on the first book in that series. Thanks for the recommendation. Pretty Snapdragons.
The snapdragon is a pretty yellow. What a thoughtful gift from your brother and it is so nice that he recognizes and appreciates all you do for your mom.
that was so nice of your brother to do that - sometimes we do wonder if anyone knows how much time it takes to care for our parent's. Hope your basket will do good - I have a couple of those somewhere and haven't used them recently - I need to dig them out!
How nice of your brother - it looks great. I planted snapdragons for the first time this year because I was inspired from pictures of yours in past years. Can't wait for them to bloom!
A nice useful gift from your brother. I have a whole flat of snapdragons I bought from the Boy Scouts and I haven't been able to get them planted. We had a frost warning on Monday and it's been cold and rainy ever since. This after being in the 80's last week.

Awe what a kind gesture from your brother! Snapdragons are such an interesting looking flower. Yours look quite happy!
I love that sweet gift from your brother! You deserve it! Pretty flowers too. I'm amazed now with what you can find on YouTube, even movies and whole series. The way it's going we won't need tv's for much at all I think.
Aaaw how sweet of your brother and considerate of your dear brother especially for thanking you for all that you do for your mom. I know that touched your heart. Your flowers look fabulous. I have never grown snapdragons; I am going to have to add them to my garden in the future. Have a great weekend. Hugs.
Your snapdragons look beautiful! They’re Mama’s favorite flower. How sweet of your brother to send you such a thoughtful gift. It looks beautiful! Thank you for sharing Lost Birds. I just put the first book in the series, The Blessing Way, on hold.
Like you, most of technology is new to me as well! I agree, we could do without a TV. Have a great weekend!
I just did a squirrel chase of the Hillermans; and placed a book on hold. I spent a summer working in New Mexico. So it will be fun to see the state from a different perspective. Thanks for the recommendation.
Providing respite for family caregivers is so needed and valuable.

It is nice to have family recognize what you do that you don't have too. It's always fun to talk to Grad Girl about what I didn't have access to when I was in grad school. Electronic delivery of scientific papers, no it was snail mail for that. But on the other side of that research moved more slowly, you didn't have lots of information at your fingertips.
