I read, washed dishes, did some research for a presentation I was going to give tonight, put a pork shoulder in the slow cooker ( after I rubbed in Hawaiian red salt and 3\/4 tsp of smoke flavoring), was preparing the food for the presentation when I got a call cancelling until next week and then and only then, did I hear the quiet call to go out for a walk.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, I am deaf and, well, dumb.&nbsp; Not mute &#8211; just DUMB.<\/p>\n<p>So I grabbed my camera and walked around the yard, camera&nbsp; in one hand, a growing pile of twigs in the other.&nbsp; I ended up with quite a bundle of twigs and some very nice pictures of the flowers around my yard.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/heidiannie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/spring-and-tulipan-008.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-right: 0px;
