Take my word for it photography, and Fall soon

This is one of many attempts to capture, with a low level phone,  one of the clearwing hummingbird moths busy in the butterfly bush near me.  Lovely afternoon on the deck. They're there, they are. But you can just enjoy the greenery.

And here's the current collection of applique blocks. We'll see when they're all finished, this is about a third, how they need to be arranged.

Fall is in the offing, still lovely 80° sunny days, less humidity today. My energy, MIA lately, may return

 Meanwhile, the puzzle answer is, drumrroll

THATCH!

And while I'm in corny mood

Then, here in the Northern chunk, it's Sunday so I'll observe it

Happy day, everyone, be irreverent, it's more fun.

Freecycle rules!

After moving out bags of Handsome Son's declutter via Freecycle, I found a great offer on there for my kitchen.

Which I tested at home and it works fine. Usual story: they'd upgraded and wanted to move it on. It's how I got my microwave, scanner and DVD player at various times. 

Since my old toaster oven had quit toasting and needed to be unplugged between oven uses because the off switch quit, I said goodbye to it, and thank you.

 I don't accept Freecycle gifts from just anyone. Here's the neighborhood

Mercer Street Princeton, to Einstein Drive to Godel to Maxwell. Yes, it's  the Institute for Advanced Study where  great mathematicians and physicists hang out and upgrade their toaster ovens. I didn't have to qualify, just text on arrival.

Beautiful weather for walking, and greeting the rabbit, still there

Before I leave here are a couple of riddles my Dad drove me mad with as a little kid

If my peacock lays an egg in your yard, who owns the egg?

Which is correct, the yolk of an egg are white or the yolk of an egg is white?

A plane crashed exactly halfway across the frontier of two countries, A and B.  In which country did they bury the survivors?

Running away now, happy day everyone! Make corny jokes, they're silly and fun.

Off to the thriftie today to donate the rest of Handsome Son's clutter, good stuff worth buying at thrift store prices.
