10 seconds, not a second more

It took an inordinate amount of time last night to figure out how to use the timer on my camera so that we could do an end-of-the-year family photo.

At least we weren't wasting film.

If it weren't for Bridget's perseverance, we never would have made it. I have better luck with relaxed cats in wastepaper baskets. and mixed-up hyacinths. Another week of this weather and we'll have to think about weeding the garden.
