WOW! I thought I was very sparse on apps, but compared to y’all I’m a clutterbug. I have 2 weather apps, one shows the weather in multiple places, one has a radar map. For travel, I have 4 airlines, one hotel, one cruise line, Trip Advisor, Expedia, Rick Steves Audio Europe, Google Translate, and mobile passport. I have a night light app and a white noise fan app. Also Google Maps and Waze. Uber. Amtrak which I need to offload. I also have 2 apps for ordering groceries, one for each grocery in my town. Passport - for paying parking meters when I go downtown Pandora Cell Protect/Mobile Security which blocks most robo calls and telemarketers. I think one is the newer version of the other. I need to figure that out and delete the unnecessary one. Twitter, iMessage, Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest Overdrive and Kindle. I haven’t downloaded Libby yet because I have the library bookmarked in Safari Anova to control my sous vide circulator a bank app for mobile deposits Google Docs a spreadsheet a word processing app Red Cross First Aid, mainly to remember how to do CPR on the twins when they were infants Pepperplate, recipe app bpath, you do not need to delete your YB Races app. You can offload it until you need it again. Offloading maintains the data so that you can reload the app later and the data will still be there. On an iPhone, go to Settings>General>iPhone Storage. Scroll down to the particular app you wish to offload. Tap on the name of the app, on the next page, tap on Offload App.

That is what I liked about the Kousa dogwood is that it blooms after the leaves come out and seems so much fuller than our native ones. Laptops are great - you can pretty much do everything you want to on them and pick them up and hit the road. I can cast or use HDMI if I wanted to have a big screen like my 60" TV. I don't know if it is hand size or just age on using phones as your primary computer. While they are great for most everything they lack a full keyboard and mouse and the screen is kind of tiny to read. I guess your cousin can say "hi" to Sarah since they live in the same town? Or did she move? I collect the gourds and let them dry in the sun. I then store them away as ornaments or give them away. I just like growing them. Oh yeah, whoever thought of mini-storage hit a gold mine at least for the folks who got into it early. There is a storage place on our way to TN that is advertised as "Big Boys Toys" so you will see RVs, boats of every stripe, trailers, ATVs, etc. Now there is a place close to us (by the train tracks) that was graded, graveled, fenced in with chain link, and rented out to semi trucks, RVs, etc. Maybe 3 acres and it looks like the lot is full. Then across the road from that big lot is a new one that has a lot of construction equipment - front loaders, back hoes, bulldozers and other rusting "junk". Yep, to each their own on collecting "stuff". It is a passion, a hobby, a pasttime, etc. We can't take it with us but we can enjoy it while we can. Oh those aroids do have some "lewd" looking flowers at times, don't they. Voodoo lilies - look at their botanical names and find the definition. I was reading a blurb on the net this morning and how they think that 1 out of 3 COVID patients will have long term health problems from catching this horrible virus. We got our shots yesterday at Sam's Club. It was J&J as it was all they had. We took it and are hoping for the best. I hope Don gets his energy back soon. My mother had both her shots last month without any issues. No problem on the passionflower seeds. I think I saw our temps will be 78 one day this week. Those temps will bring a lot of plants out of hibernation including the bugs. I didn't even look at the crocus outdoors. Surely they must be blooming but so small compared to other flowers. My two stands of Lycoris are up and pretty but blooms will be a long way off from summer. When I find them in bloom it is usually by accident as they are in areas not frequented in summer. I have one other stand of Naked Ladies about 30 feet away. Daffodils the same day (this was 5 days ago) Backyard under the huge some in the front yard Some of these hyacinths got a little cold after this day. R.L. Wheeler two days ago from the backyard. Star Magnolia close up Gourds from previous years. 2015 - ladle or birdhouse I think. The earlier pictures were Caveman gourds. in 2013, I had one climbing out magnolia tree Here are some my dad grew from seeds I bought for him to try out. These are dried and drilled to hang up. Dec, 2012 Some I grew in 2007 mid October. Some are green, some yellow, and some already dried out.

I'm well behind the times so I have very few interesting apps and most of them I don't use regularly. I have smartpay...we have cumberland farms in our area and if you use that app to buy gas (taken directly out of checking account) you save 10¢/gal. And you can use it for buying stuff in the store too. Birdnet ... you can record and have a bird song analyzed and it will try to identify the bird for you. Flightradar 24...point it at the sky and it will id the plane going by, the equipment, where from, where to, what airline and how far away Insight Timer...can be used to customize your own timer for meditation as well as access to many guided meditations. It will keep track of the days you've meditated and it will tell you how many people on the app were meditating with you. Emoji Me...personal emojis you customize to look like you that can be added to your texts Goodreads for when I head to the library and want to know what's on my to read or already read lists
