Let us we have a bright and cheerful weekend

Greetings this fine Saturday morning, or evening for some parts of the world. I trust all is well for everyone. My wife and I are leaving town for a couple of days starting Sunday. I will have my laptop with me. I will try and read some comments, reply and upvote as time allows. The internet does not always work well at the place we are going. I need some relaxation, so will catch-up when we return.

I have been busy trying to get as much done before we leave. Yesterday I finished canning the last of my tomatoes. For the year I was able to can 62 jars of tomatoes. I started picking apples yesterday and want them off the tree today. The wildlife have gotten about half of the fruit, which I do not mind. But, now it is my turn so I have some for storage and for canning applesauce. We finally had a freeze so it is time to pick my winter squash, and finish harvesting the rest of my potatoes, onions, and shallots.

I have again struggled with which photograph to begin with. I finally decided for something cheerful and bright:![STC_0158-a.JPG]( am using a Canon EOS Rebel T5 for all of these photographs, except where noted. Most of my floral photographs I am using a Marco-lens that came with my camera.

Upvotes and resteem are always welcome. In the event anyone wants to use one of my photos please ask and give me credit.

NAMASTE

I wanted to remind everyone of the new site called WEKU. Thus far I am enjoying meeting new people, and of course some of you visit my blog there as well. Everyone has been friendly and helpful. In the event you have not heard of this platform look it over. We all are starting out on the same level and if it becomes successful maybe "minnows" here will become "whales" on weku. It is nice because I see a lot of harassment by some steemians toward newcomers here on steemit, but not on weku. There are no bots yet being created to harass people like we find here. I am hoping all of that stays out of weku. Hope to see you there (just click the link on the next line).

If you are already on WEKU my user name is the same as it is here and that is @r2cornell. Come visit. I did an introduction post, so if you have never seen mine from steemit take a look. I also have been doing a few extra posts during the week.
