Creeping Thyme

The picture of our creeping thyme shown below was taken in late autumn. The single plant has grown to approximately four feet by three feet. That's not bad for a plant that started out this spring about the size of your hand.  This will remain green all winter (unless it's really bad) and bloom in late spring to early summer creating a blanket of small flowers.  We'll find out next year if it continues its growth spurt and tries to take over the entire front landscape.

iOS Keyboard Space Bar Slide

Back on January 8, 2024, of this year, I wrote about the Space Bar Slide and how it makes positioning to the exact place in a string of text so easy.  I also said that I had to install the GBoard (Google's keyboard) on my iPad to get it to work.  All that being true, the part I missed is that you can do this with Apple's default keyboard, but it works just a bit differently.  Instead of just sliding back and forth on the space bar, the Apple keyboard requires you to press down on the keyboard and hold it down while you slide your finger.  You will know you have pressed down firmly enough when the keyboard "blanks out" as shown in the image below.  Get that screen and you can now slide back and forth.  This, and other useful tips, can be found at the link below.
