1. Tuesday night I heard that there were supposed to be some great Northern Lights. So I drove out of town to a dark country road. I waited and watched until almost 1 o'clock and never saw a thing except a couple of airplanes and the revolving light at the airport. My grandson in Duluth however saw the Northern Lights and sent me a picture with permission to share it with you. Thanks Nicholas!
2. I haven't seen any butterflies all summer, but two have been hanging around the humming bird feeder the last few days. I was going to take down the feeder as it was attracting lots of flies and wasps but when the butterflies started drinking out of it, I left it for them to enjoy. I'm not familiar with the names of these two.
3. I finished my last watercolor class. We worked on 4 paintings but I haven't finished any of them. This calla lily is the closest to being finished and is the one I like best.
4. I have been baking apples in the microwave. So fast and easy. Just core the apple, place in a microwave safe dish, add brown sugar and a little butter in the hole, add a little water to the dish, cover and bake 4 minutes. I like to eat mine with cream.
5. One day last week my dishwasher quite right in the middle of the cycle, leaving a couple of inches of water in the bottom. I had to bail it out as it started to smell before the repair man could get here. He came today and discovered it was a burned wire so no electricity was getting to it. I was so glad to hear that's all that was wrong so it was easy and inexpensive to fix.
