Post something good that happened today, Parts Two

[Phoenix]

My sister gave me a recipe for chicken curry that I'm going to try in the crockpot tomorrow. I love good comfort food.

I missed the eclipse. I decided to get some sleep instead.

What sort of an excuse for a geek are you?    I remember watching the last one with my mom when I was a kid.

A tired one.

It was a badly timed eclipse.
Aimed at the convenience of a different part of the world.

I've seen eclipses before. Not one like this, admittedly, but still... I guess my geek status has been revoked now.

I've seen a little bit of this one. Yes, it was much bigger than the eclipses I have seen before. No, I could not give up my whole night to watch all of it.

Nah!

Try to explain your screen name to someone. That will help you regain some geek cred.

... upon another note, I am gleaning a bounty from the garden these past weeks. Tomatoes are really finishing, since the evenings have been so chilly. The mother plants are beginning to pout and not set or even try to keep fruit. These are some of the last for the year.

Peppers both hot and sweet are still rockin' though.

This represents about a day's worth of each, but the tomatoes are about done.
The peppers are very sweet, but also VERY hot. Leaving these jalapenos in the sun long enough to become fully ripened makes them monsters, but I love it! They are fabulous!
A couple of pics:

Those look so good.

I had no tomatoes this year. Maybe next year again. My peppers did OK. They started really early, because I had some potted plants hibernate indoors last winter.
Did bring a pot in in time this year for another winter with indoor peppers.
They will take really long to ripen indoors, but they will. And they'll start blossoming early in spring again.

It hasn't happened yet, but it will later today....having all of my kids home. I'm happiest when the whole gang is together.

Maybe your geeky offspring will drag you from your deathbed to watch the next one.

Time with my girlie.

Unless you think I'm about to go soon, I feel the need to point out that eclipses are a bit more common than that. The next one coinciding with a lunar perigee will be in a few decades, though.

Found out the leak in our new car was not a leak, but a lot of condensation from the air conditioner unit.  Thought it might be the windshield wiper fluid, but, they pressurized the whole system and found nothing.  <phew>

Yeah, that's what I meant, sleepyhead.
