Not exactly what you might expect for Sunday dinner, but we had a hankering for Reuben sandwiches with bleu cheese coleslaw. Corned beef, sauerkraut and Swiss cheese in the sandwiches made for a delicious meal as we enjoyed football and NASCAR on the tube. Click on the image to enlarge.
After looking at the SpaceWeather.com website this morning, I want to the courtyard and took several images of the sun. There are three large sunspots visible in this image and several smaller ones that can’t be seen because of my my crude method of solar photography.
These three spots are not currently flaring, but they are capable of producing flares that hurl particles and radiation into space. If the flare comes toward Earth, it could affect power grids and communications.

We refilled the spa this week and took a dip in it this afternoon. Very relaxing after yet another grueling week of retirement. 🙂 Click on the image to enlarge.
Bob found this fishhook cactus growing under a bush up on the hill on the west side of the lot. He dug it out and brought it down to the patio where we hope to be able to enjoy its bright pink flowers next summer. Click on the image to enlarge.
I took an image of the railroad track the other day. We crossed the BNSF track at Yavapai, just north of the old train station. There is a siding (seldom used) and a switch for directing the train cars onto the siding. When rendered in sepia, the shot looks like it could have been taken last century.
