What a pretty entrance

I always love a good door...but I also wonder what people think when they see me taking pictures of their houses or their neighbor's house.  Does anyone else think like this?  I am not saying it is going to stop me, specially when it comes to places like this. 
****************
Have you ever heard the saying when it rains, it pours?    Be prepared for a long whining post.  I have a version of whatever Roger has, just not all his aches and pains.  At least not yet.  And his seem to be easing off.  Which is a good thing. Cause guess what?

In the wee hours of the morn when I was headed to bed, the AC started making a funny noise.    I got up and Roger was already up...I told him what was going on.  He could not hear it of course.  I checked outside, and it was definitely different sounding.  And not a neighbor's AC...not that I was wanting them to have bad luck, I just really was not wanting it to be ours.

I had already noticed that it was not blowing cold air...so I wondered was it froze up....every now and then when it is so humid, moisture will gather and everything will be covered in ice.  I came in to get the flashlight, and Roger reminded me to check the basement.  Well, it was so loud down there...I say loud, but it is partly the tone that really got to me.  I turned it off, and went and looked for the lines to have frost/ice on them.  Nothing there.

Checked the unit itself, nothing there.  So had to turn it off for the night.  Roger went and talked a buddy this morn to find who has the best heating and AC place here in town.   Came home and we were discussing calling them, and Roger said to wait a minute and let him check something.  Well, it ends up the fan motor was not working...he got it going and it ran and ran.  At first I didn't think it was cooling the house..but finally realized it was. 

So he took that motor off and took it down to the hardware store...they didn't have that one  in stock, but they ordered it while he was there and it is supposed to be here in the morn!  I hope they are right.  It is so hot and humid in here tonight...I would be tempted to go to a hotel.

Do you see him?

We saw this this guy up the hill from the swamp area...I was only able to snag one shot before he flew to parts unknown.  He almost glowed. I don't think it was my imagination, but it could have something to do with him being in the shade. Anyway, I have not altered his color in any way. I just grabbed this shot, was hoping to have time for some better ones, but it was not meant to be.

Roger is still dragging...has just ached off and on all day.  More on that off...he will have a few minutes here and there that he thinks he  might be starting to feel better, but it never lasts very long.  He didn't cough as much last night...but when he got up this morn and then laid back down, he started the cough again.

The best laid plans

My coneflowers have been blooming about a week...actually had one or two a while back, but they were just a forerunner of what is happening now and what is yet to be.
*******************
We had plans today to meet with Tootie and her parents, and to bring her home for the week.  Instead, last night Roger started coughing...and came down with a cold.  It is a strange one....he does not cough all the time but coughs so hard in spells that I think he might pass out.  His head hurt when he got up this morn from coughing so hard through the night...

He just does not feel good at all; he had horrible body aches this evening but Tylenol helped that some. So that is what is happening here.

And I am still having problems with computer...I don't know where it is coming from.  I thought for sure  it was google/gmail, etc...but no longer know.  It does happen on both my Windows Computer and my chromebook.  Things will go along fine for an hour or two...then all of a sudden half the blogs I visit won't open. Or if I do get one to open, the comment form won't open.  A lot of other sights won't open.  Sometimes I cannot do a search unless I go to Bing....

Then this afternoon I was texting with the girls and could not open or send email/texts for a couple minutes.  I was thankful that that was as long as that lasted.

Anyway, I will visit as I can...
