Tech catastrophy

So there is a reason my parents didn’t name me Grace.  I am a klutz.  My latest proof of this is when I dropped my laptop and ruined it completely losing not only my computer but the possibility of retaining anything from my hard drive.  Ugh.  That is never a good feeling and I tried to remember what I would be missing.

Luckily I had backed up my photos not too long ago but some of those are lost forever too.  Now each day I am finding new things that I lost in that moment.  A word document here, a favorites list there.  I am sure over the coming weeks there will be many more moments of “Oh that was on my other computer”  and “Oh no, I didn’t back that up either?”.  Life can sure be frustrating at times.

Then to add insult to injury I am having to learn a new pc and windows system.  This is not the easiest thing for me as sometimes I find change to be say…challenging.  I would be really embarrassed if anyone had heard the words I yelled at my computer the first time I sat down with it and tried to just negotiate my way onto Firefox.  But I am learning and each day gets a little easier.  Let’s hope it continues on that way.  I know I have grown from this experience though because this time I purchased insurance. 🙂

Pinterest

 

Pinterest is just so much fun!  It is a collection of visually interesting things that give some insight to the “pinner”.  I love to pin other artists creations that I find on Etsy or just around in my online searches.  They deserve to be celebrated and made accessible.

Summer, like Spring, came early this year

sheep pasture

April brought 90+ degree weather here which usually doesn’t arrive until June.  That heat and the lack of spring showers dried out the pastures early this year.  The sheep were very dissapointed as was I to see the green grass go.  Even worse this dry hot weather has increased the fire season in California which is always nerve-wracking.

You can see the vast difference between one pasture to the next.

Usually after the pastures are grazed we get more rain to help the grass grow a second, third, and fourth round so the sheep can continue to dine again and again.  This year the hay will have to be fed out early.
