The Binoculars


These poor daffodils are trying to bloom. The ice storm this past weekend didn't help.  Did I mention we were stuck indoors for 3 days?  I was sorry for the travellers with all the gruelling plane delays at the airport.

Husband M noticed that a street light across the road has been on even during the daytime for quite some time so we decided to report it to the city.  We didn't want to go outside that day as it was awful with all the snow and freezing rain.  I remembered we have some binoculars and we were able to focus clearly on the lamp post number across the street.  So I was able to file a request for service with the correct lamp post number without having to go outside!

This is likely a good reason to keep your curtains closed at night, you never know who uses binoculars like these, they are quite powerful!

I can imagine the best made ones can see through walls. Better coat them with lead, just incase.

Poor daffodils! Sorry you are having such bad weather. I have no people living opposite, people would have to climb the tree to look into my place, and I don't think anyone will go to that much trouble! Hugs, Valerie

Oh gosh - such bad weather - sending you sunshine Christine!
If someone is so much interested in what I am doing he/she is allowed to watch the whole day and night what I do...no problem!
LOL!

Hugs, Susi

Winter doesn't want to give spring a chance this year.

Using those binoculars was a great idea.

Have a great day 💮

Hoping your weather improves very quickly!
If someone is looking through my windows in the evening, hope he (she) enjoys watching gardening shows! Thanks for the warning, though.
Think summer...

Hello Christine thank you for stopping by my blog and commenting on the tulips. We are having a never ending summer in Australia and looks like you are at the other end of the temperature gauge.

Oh goodness those poor daffodils, I'm sure they will recover when your weather is more spring-like.
Good for you on reporting the street light.

All the best Jan
