Cosmos

The sun is shining today, but the windchill was -28C. Made myself go for a walk this morning - thanks, Dorothy, your e-mail worked, as I took your advice : ) I was desperately feeling the need to get out of the house after the last two months. Hadn't planned on finally falling into bed around 4:30 this morning, though, thanks to a Microsoft Error! This was after I had installed a Service Pack (on instruction from Dell), which took about three hours to see to. And then when I was more than ready to turn off my computer, I got that message that tells you not to turn off the computer, that it will turn itself off after (8!) updates! I don't know if some of these 8 were the same updates I had just spent hours installing, but I thought I'd better go ahead and let them install anyway, so another couple of hours of waiting. What a pain, ha!

This is a lovely Cosmos flower that I photographed at the Calgary Zoo on August 26th.
