unexpected freeze, a movie, flowers

While it was only supposed to get to the mid 30s Monday night I still sustained some freeze damage. The foliage on five of my six tomato plants froze, the sixth untouched right next to the ones that froze, but the stems seem fine so I hope they aren’t dead. Regardless, I’ll probably buy new plants just in case. Most of my green bean sprouts and the top half of the basil froze and all the new banana tree leaves so I have to replant my green beans. The garden is out in the open towards the back of the property; everything close to the house and more protected is fine. Tuesday I woke to temps in the 30s, Wednesday it hit high 80s. Typical weather in this part of Texas.

I guess I need to go to the chiropractor. I’ve been having some aches and pains in my left hip which started popping a couple of months ago, though that seems to have subsided mostly, with aches spreading down my thigh and after sitting the first few steps a little painful but once moving is fine. The last few days the hip and leg are better but the ache has moved to my lower back. So yeah, something is going on down there that needs to be adjusted. Probably sciatica. 

I’ve been working on the bookmarks, have two finished and working on a third which is taking me days, needs a lot of drying time between and I’ve been entertaining Paisleigh two afternoons this week. Paisleigh's rainbow, sun, and sunset.

Once again I am behind on reading/commenting on blogs. SHARE Thursday being one reason. Surely I was attentive on Wednesday but really don’t remember. And today (Friday) is also going to be a blank because we’re leaving in a little while to go see the movie Project Hail Mary which is based on the book of the same name by Andy Weir, the same author that wrote The Martian. Both books are excellent, The Martian had me hooked after the first sentence. Project Hail Mary is about a space 'bacteria' that is eating the suns in a region of space including our sun that will doom everything on Earth within 30 years and so a last ditch effort sends a team into space to the one sun that is not being affected to find out why. Unfortunately only one man of three survived the coma during the journey. Once at the destination he encounters an alien spaceship with also coincidentally a lone survivor on the same mission to save its sun and planet. The two completely different life forms must learn to communicate and work together if they are to succeed. The movie starts today and that is usually how we do it. Opening day matinee. Chose our seats and bought our tickets online yesterday. I tried to embed the trailer with zero success, sometimes I can get it to work, others not. This time not but here’s the link to the trailer.

Aaaaaand, now we're back. It's good, really good and Ryan Gosling is really good. 

On the way home, we stopped by the Verizon store and got a new phone for me, one with the better camera and the macro lens, and then stopped at the liquor store and finally home where the little dog had been cooped up all day and was demanding a walk during which we stopped to visit with my friend at the other end of the street and at the end of the walk fed the cats and then it was time to fix dinner (my night) and then dinner and then cleaning up the kitchen and then I was done. So now it's Saturday.

Flowers in the yard…

and for Steve, the nun’s orchid plant.
