We find ourselves with a number of works in progress this Wednesday at Blackberry Creek. The biggest one, no doubt, is the setting up of the new Mac that we bought yesterday. Being former Mac users from our career days, both Vann and I remembered how much more simple they are to use. And the sweet boy who sold us this one just kept smiling and saying, "All you have to do is plug it in, and you're ready to go." Well, not quite.
We came home, plugged it in, and there it was, not ready to go. I finally logged on the internet (by accident), but only part of a website would show, if at all. Finally gave up. We've had a computer-wise neighbor here all afternoon. He finally got me going on the internet from the Mac, but now Vann can't get on the internet from his laptop--and the neighbor had to leave to go to church. He's supposed to come back after.
I don't have a clue how to download photos yet, so I'm resorting to a Dover clipart image that I thought was very appealing. Maybe in the next few days I'll be able to load real photos from the Mac.
Other WIPs are: laundry (of course), backyard minigarden (I now have loaded five large trash bags of dead leaves), and my April 12x12x12 Elvis. It's looking so precious, but I can't show you yet (mainly because I want to keep it a secret until it's finished, but also because I can't yet load a photo from the Mac [see above]).

I'm sure you'll figure it all out before too long. I've never experienced using a Mac.
My trash man is going to hate me this week because of all the containers of garden stalks and rubbish. But the garden is looking a lot better and I feel better from working outdoors. I love doing a job that shows a big difference fast.

I need to get into the garden. I got some herbs to plant, but I think I'll wait a while (next year?) before I really dig in. A) I'm too busy with other things, and B) I want to see what comes up that the previous owner planted. That's my excuse, anyway, and I'm sticking to it.
Good luck with the 'puters.

If your Mac works like my MacBook Pro, photos need to be exported to the desktop and browsed into Blogger from there. Good luck.
