I am locked out of Instagram. So if you are looking for me there, I'm not there. Also having problems commenting on Facebook. WordPress is giving me a hard time. Maybe I am on a shitlist somewhere.
I am not really in a good mood so I leave you with Ding! It's Spring!
I'll let that be enough.
Precious iris.💖
I love them
I’m sorry you’re having to deal with all this electronic nonsense. It is so frustrating! Did they at least tell you why? Hope you’re able to resolve it all soon.
Oh I’m not sure anyone knows…ha!
Beautiful Iris! Happy Spring where you are; we are still in Winter.
The older I get, the less of technology I need.
True, I suppose there is want mixed in there…
I really need to remember to plant more iris. Home early, it’s a sunny day. I am going to go cut down a large limb and yell timber as it falls. And then maybe wack on the black berries for an hour. 🙂 My mom was having trouble getting her ink cartridge out of her printer. I told her to walk away for at least 30 minutes and try again. Sending love…
It’s that time, I was planning some trimming during my walk. The break fixed my mood.
Yes, I think it might just be spring for real. It has gotten to the exciting time when every day when I go out to look at my flower beds there is always something new that has come up seemingly overnight. I especially watch the little semi wooded area where there are many ephemerals. They come and go so quickly if you miss several days in a row you might miss their emergence altogether and have to wait a whole year for a chance to see them. It makes for a good round every morning with my coffee cup in hand.
oh it’s really happening now, the morning strolls are divine.
Your Iris made my day, thank you Jude for sharing.
It made mine too, we need relief from so many things.
Wishing you a lovely day Jude 🤗💗
really raining but spring rain is different.
What a beautiful contrast of the brilliant purple against the browns. Lovely.
Yeah, I get it. Someone recently told me “you don’t deserve any of this”…then we talked about Karma. Ha I woke up to Google Chrome not allowing my email to stay open…the browser where ALL of my tabs are, where I work from each day! Grrr…
I always think of that Sound of Music song: “I must have done something good” – or not!! lol
Enjoy your ‘dings’ 🙂
Ha, I love when songs arise…
Ah spring… watching flowers in the rain. I love the Iris.
they always surprise me…
all the meta platforms were down earlier today. They are back up now though.
I love that flower, gives me hope that we may see spring here at some point…
yeah, there is an earlier issue with my account I am trying to resolve. But not today. I’m going for a walk in the rain.
That was my response too, Jude, and always available!
right?
Jude, what is that near the bloom? Is it an animal that has met it’s demise!? 🤔
yes, it is a dead mouse.
It will eventually “feed” the iris 💚
that’s the way it goes
What a gorgeous flower! So stunning in the midst of a field of brown! We have 4+ inches of new snow today . . . 30 degrees . . . time to get out the snow boots (again). I’m playing with free-form tiny tapestries (move as the spirit moves me) and I like it so far! Am thinking about appliqueing some bits of stitched cloth on top . . . it’s flowing! . . . thanks again, Jude, for your sharing & inspiration!
Sounds great, I should weave a bit today…
Beautiful iris, Jude!
I’m glad Spring is dinging & springing!
🌱💜
Yeah, we can count on that, at least for now…
Instagram hasn’t been loading for me either…. Probably a good thing!
Right? My mood is better already!😂
Exactly!
👋
love that you shared such a beautiful image! in case it helps anyone on this thread, there is a website called downdetector.com that will show if an application you use is generally unavailable. I usually just google downdetector and the application name to get the link. it helps to answer the question “is it me?” 🙂
Yeah, this time it said all was OK
It seems that all of Facebook and Instagram are having outages so you’re not the one on a ‘shit list’, Zuckerberg is 😂 love the Iris!
Ha!
Yesterday 71, sunny… today, 47, rainy…was able to make sun tea… so, I’m happy… doing some quilting and watching wild turkeys males doing their mating dance, knowing the ladies aren’t interested yet… birds chirping, windows open… big court trial coming tomorrow… glad no longer eligible for jury duty… stay safe, happy spring as each day is getting warmer…
You have an iris???!!! This is March and I have serious flower envy. In Maine it is mud season. Beneath the mud is ice slurry.
My website was hacked and the hackers have sent out emails to many many people. The webhost says “oh too bad, that is your problem”
A good day to compartmentalize technology and spend not more than a certain amount of time battling the djinns.
yeah, these tiny rock iris come up so early. I planted hundreds of them last fall.
I am a bit bitchy after no sleep but I’m mostly holding on to worry free.
Technology. Snort! All Meta platforms are having trouble. The advice I’m heeding is don’t make any changes in your passwords or whatever they might be asking for when you try to log in. Apparently, it’s just some glitch we’ll have to wait out. So, for the moment I guess we need to get back to real life.
the best advice.
I’m hearing a song from the late 80s/early 90s in my head….
“…back to life, back to reality…” 🤣
music is always good…
I so admire your perseverance with tech Jude, and how much you do on our behalf. Hopeless here I’m afraid, and I’m sure some of it is due to laziness. However, here in the UK I have also developed a huge and apparently unsolvable problem with facebook, so very reassuring to come on here and find it’s not just me. Terrifying how much power and reach these companies have.
I think the blue of the Irises make them my favourite Spring flower.
well, I suppose just going is all we have, if it isn’t one thing it might be another. didn’t sleep last night so I’m bitching.
You’re not on my shitlist as every post brings a smile. I could use a lift as our cat is missing and we are heartbroken. A pic of solo sometime soon?
Oh no!!!
I’m so sorry, will pray for u… Kitties are god’s gifts to us… All animals are… God bless… Hugs2u/purrs
Yeah, things have been out or glitchy this morning… I couldn’t get on FB until just now. Anyway, pouring rain and raw and no irises in my yard yet! Hope the day shifts for you and me, too, I’m also not in a good mood!
Just a longer list of things…🫤
Ha! Maybe not on a shitlist but a blessing ;-).
Hope you enjoyed the break
Ha!, new eyes…
A lot of people are having trouble with facebook – some kind of glitch. It may be fixed for now.
tiring, isn’t it?
Just saw that there are widespread outages of those services, so be patient – it’s not you! Hope you do something fun while you wait!
well here I am with all of you!
Widespread outages on all Meta platforms. Sending love and positivity in all directions.
I hate needing these platforms…
think it’s another weirdo thing–i can’t access the things, either.
Figures, I’ve had enough…
Your little reticulated Iris is simply beautiful. Keep that thought…💜
yes, isn’t it beautiful?
