About two weeks ago, we bought a slide/negative scanner and finally, today, I decided to tackle getting it installed on the computer. Of course, it's never easy. The laptop acted like it wanted nothing to do with it, so I tried to install it on Guillermo's computer. At first, it appeared it was going to be rejected there, too, but with enough perseverance, FINALLY the computer was able to recognize the scanner. So, YAY, I've been able to start scanning our slides. We've got about 6 boxes of slides, and in each box, there is probably at LEAST 50 slides (if not more) to scan. The scanner does 3 at a time, so it will be a time-consuming process, but at least we'll be able to see all those old pictures again. :-)
And a few days ago, Guillermo and I went to Walmart and he (not me) bought 30 YARDS of bridal veil material!! Anyway, he is using it to cover his sprouting seedlings of beans and corn. Guillermo has declared that those rabbits and grackles are NOT going to have a free lunch this season. Here's a picture of the bridal veil garden.
This next shot is from up close. Using the bridal veil is working, because nothing ate his newly sprouted green beans, and the corn is being left alone.
Das gleiche Problem haben wir mit den Amseln und Spatzen, im Mai und Juni, dann muss man die jungen Pflanzen vor ihnen schuetzen.
