Reflections from Crumbly Acres: helleborus

🎣Yes, goldfish eat anything moving. Sometimes they try for their, or their tank-mate's poop. That they spit out. I've never had such a large goldfish. I didn't realize how aggressively they ate the smaller fishies!

Percy is still in the dog house! We've had 73 mm (~3") from Saturday to Monday. The water barrel is gathering the eavestrough rainwater, and filling the goldfish pond. You can see Percy, bright orange on the left end of the pond. Happily, this is the only flooding we have. Other areas of the province are flooding.

The clouds were pretty out front. I ran in to see what the radar looked like.

The radar showed snow in Northern Ontario, with little pop-up clouds here as the system slowly turned counter clockwise.

It was time to buy a new computer. There goes the family fortune! My old one is so old they wouldn't take it as a trade in, and I had trouble closing it up. The man delivered it in the rain. It was great to have something to do rather than housework!

The transfer of information from old to new was a piece of cake. I Googled it!

The new one I turn on with my fingerprint!

After seeing lots of people with Lenten Rose Helleborus blooming, I went out after the rain paused, and gave it another go. I noticed they were all standing erect! That made it much easier...

The one tulip is nearly ready to bloom for the first time. Taking a photo seemed prudent, although the deer have disappeared into the forest. I've several yellow ones, as well.
