Curiously Intertwined

Sunday, August 30, 2026

To end the weekend, Fireball and I spent some time before dinner

looking for more clothes to donate.

We managed one full bag and one very full bag.

Newest color.

Early this morning at 12:12

was the peak of a 96% partial lunar eclipse.

It was visible here in Indiana.

Shortly before midnight

it occurred to me to look up how to photograph it.

I took quick note of the equipment I needed and the settings to try.

I went to the driveway and set it up.

I got two photos that were fairly clear.

I'm happy with my quick try.

USA State Flowers.

The puzzle includes a list of each state and what the flower is.

The puzzle itself it so beautiful.

I have had my eye on it for years.

I finally saw it at a sale price I've never seen before.

I was hoping to finish the puzzle tonight,

but I did not make it before my deadline.

I did get it finished about 45 minutes later.

Full picture coming soon.

It was a quick trip to the store after dinner.

We only came home with a couple extra things.

No, seriously, just two things - tomatoes and bananas.

It would be hard to make a BLT without tomatoes.

I like to work my puzzles by color or specific area or subject.

I started with the reds and dark pinks.

I'm now moving through the blue/purples.

The pieces here are a bit washed out because

I had to get out a daylight lamp in order to pick out the pieces I needed.

This room does not have afternoon light,

and you know my left eye needs lots of light to see.

I'll try to get a true to color picture when I finish it.
