What A Day

Kevin showed up to fix the slats this morning. I told him not to worry about coming as low as before if he couldn't fix some. It was hard to open the door if I parked right. Sure enough some could not be straightened out but at least I get enough shade from the sun to keep it off  the truck and most of the house.

I was just running off to a meeting when he came but I wasn't needed anyway. The meeting was interesting to say the least. Next Friday we will try again with the rest of the team.

Now for more pictures of past trips

The ruins are about 3 miles from Ft. Apache in White River, AZ. It's to bad nothing is being done to make it more accessible, something was being done at one time and then they just let it go

There's Birds In Da House

Today was a slow day. I cleaned out the fountain and put water in it.  Put some bird seed in the feeder. I had stopped doing it because it is snake time and birds bring rodents and rodents bring snakes. But since I have birds building a nest in the house I figured I would feed them for a few days. I don't know if they stop to eat. They sure are busy.

Fred still doesn't like our house guest and he is really into hanging out around that cage. I moved it as high as I could get it so it's safe.

I ran to Safeway to pick up some muffins for the meeting tomorrow morning. They have ready made salads and I picked up 6 of them for my lunches. I use my own dressing which is fat free, and add some tomatoes and almond slivers also.

Debbie's bird Valentine

 She just couldn't decide how to get this piece in the house

She gave up and flew into the bush next to house. Mr. went in with a feather and he is now on his way out






Mrs. came back but no weed or stick

 My dad made these housed and when the season is over I will paint and repair the blue and white one, I just hope I can it is in bad shape. Also will paint the beige one too.

I love snap dragons I brought them over from the carport and put them on the porch so I can enjoy them more.

This little bird lights up and changes colors.

Cold Morning, Warm Afternoon

It was sure chilly this morning, But warmed up really nice. 

I got the paint for the porch floor from my neighbor who over bought for his project. It looks very close to the color I will be painting the house which is great. He gave me a great deal so I just couldn't pass it up. Saved me about $60.

My daughter is going on vacation for about 4 days and I am watching her bird. He looks like little green that used to come to my feeders in the yard. Fred is not happy with this visitor and is acting so awful. I hope he gets used to it soon. I'm sure given the chance he would eat it.

 This colt was a real beauty and his mom was getting annoyed with us so we left

Some New Sunset Shots

I see they didn't respond to me on the font sizing what else is new.

Didn't do much today. Attended a meeting and spent lots of time on the computer and never accomplishing why I went online in the first place. Not a big deal saved me money that way.

Not very happy about the way color comes out since changing over to google chrome. the said the colors would be more vibrant I don't think they are even as good as they were before

I Just Decided to Try Googless

Isn't she a beauty.

I hit google chrome instead of Internet Explorer and look here.
After all this time I can't understand this. But I guess I'll just be happy about it. Now to figure out how to enlarge the font. As this is the x large. 

I haven't done to much other than work on my lists which are really done for now.

This morning I ran to Walmart as I needed a clip on desk lamp and a small 3 ring binder.  And some groceries.

The office here gave me a pack of printer paper so that is good to be helped with office products.

Now that I have this working I will be able to upload more pictures and feel more like taking them. 

Nomad posted on his blog that he bought his NM State Park Pass for $220. this pass is good for a year.  Thank You Nomad for posting and letting those who wanted to know about the price. I assume he did it online since he is still around the Tucson area. He will be leaving soon and start at the south end and work his way north.  I think I will be leaving to late in the season to go that route.

As always I waited to the last minute to gas up and I almost fainted at the price of gas once again. It has gone up almost .10 in a week or a few days.

We Sure Got Our Rain, But OH The Wiind

Our first out this morning it was cloudy but warm. As I sat here drinking coffee and typing on a list it  started to get darker and I had to put the floor lamp in here to see.  Pretty soon I heard the rain. I looked out and the wind just took off and the rain was falling  hard. 

It rained on an off most of the day sometimes just a drizzle and some times pouring down. The wind would pick up and then die down. Around 5:15 the wind really started to pick up. I looked out the window to the porch sided which is on the west and thought oh boy those slates are going to blow off soon. Then I heard this loud noise coming from the carport and as I turned around there went the slates they were ripped clean off braces and all. I went out and tied them together best I could to keep them from going airborne and possibly doing damage to my neighbors house.  She came out to see what happened and I decided to tie it on the other end. She helped me and then we ran back in to our houses as the rain started pelting us good in another down pour.  Around 6:10 out went the power for about 15min. When the power came back on I called the guy who installed the new awning and slates and told him what happened. He said what wind?  I said it's blowing like crazy and raining like mad. He was not having any of this wind or rain at his place. When we hung up I called my daughter to see what was happening at her house and she said nothing. I know in this town it can be pouring across the street but to have this weather here and no weather anywhere else was really crazy.

Before I tied it down better

 This is where it used to be. Nothing happened as you can see to my neighbors house

It is perfectly still out now of course. Kevin will stop by tomorrow to check out the  damage.

My Own Modern Art

Did do anything special today just more lists. 

The wind was howling for a while and my allergies are nasty. Tomorrow they say it will be in the 60" with thunderstorms. Yeah OK whatever.

I came across this picture when I was looking at old shots
For the life of me I can't remember what you call the art that doesn't make much sense. I did mine with a camera

 These clouds look like they mean business

Love the silky look to the colors in this one

Hope you all have a safe and fun weekend

Good Night All
