New Hibiscus
Spoke too soon. Mrs Noded brought in a new hibiscus plant in a pot. The pot and plant are now in the back patio blooming. Life goes on.

Hibiscus
Landscaper trimmed about 5 feet off of our hibiscus bush today so it’s going to be some time before we get any new flowers.
Half Moon
The dust storm from Africa seems to have cleared the other night so the moon was clear and sharp. The previous couple of nights were not as clear although there were no clouds. Anyone who thinks the best time to photograph the moon is when it’s full needs to look at images like this where the shadows on the craters give it such nice definition. I’m particularly fond of the crater on the edged of night that has such a bright wall.
Different Host Same Toast
After at least 16 years with the same web host, his retirement means I’ve had to sign up with a new host. I’ve chosen Bluehost and it seems to be working ok so far. You may have an issue or two that should be fixed with a reload. I’ve consolidated all three noded sites into Noded.us. So you will be automagically redirected to the proper site.
Recreational Vehicle
Mrs Noded bought me an RV for my birthday. Came fully loaded but I sure there is room for two more…
Strike
Really intense storm a few night ago. I’ve not see such lightning in a long time. Air to ground and air to air strikes all over the place. For all the thunder and lightning we didn’t get much rain. I was being the photographer and shooting what I could while the little voice in my head was suggesting that standing out on the driveway was not necessarily the smartest thing I’ve ever done. This was the night before the really amazing sunset that I’ve already mentioned. The African dust storm is due any day now. There may be some very intense sunrises and sunsets coming.
