Good morning
Yesterday morning and I took a walk at Sweetwater wetlands. Windy but warm (not hot) so it was perfect.
We saw a Coopers hawk in the nest. Rick made great burgers for supper AND the Wildcats are going to the final four.🏀⛹️🏀
Sounds like you picked a perfect weather day to go to the Sweetwater Wetlands.
Nice pictures, looks like a very peaceful place.💚
Very peaceful with some serious birders with their big cameras and extended lens.
I am not sure I realized how serious birders were until I met our neighbor in Maine last summer. He had a leather case strapped to his chest with binoculars. He talked away about birds he had seen in different places. I love birds but hearing a blow by blow of specific places and birds was a bit over the top for me. 😬
Jenn, you probably shouldn’t join Audobon then, lol…I’m in it and that’s what it’s like…I do enjoy some of the meetings though and we went on a few very nice walks (too early!) and the people are nice.
That is nice for you Lynn. 🙂
Good morning,
37 degrees with real feel of 32 ! Going up to 64 with sun so that will warm things up a bit.
Yesterday was cold outside with strong wind gusts and cloudy.
Today we are going for a Sunday drive, not sure where we will end up but nothing too wild I don’t think. 😃
Hi Jenn
Enjoy your drive!!
Thanks Ardy.😊

Good Sunday morning. Beryl, Jenn, Ardyth, Kathy, Lynn, Pam. Been robbed of an hour of my life and back to the dark mornings for a while. Why on earth can’t they leave the clocks alone. 😠 . A cold day again today with max temp of 48F, might warm up by the coming weekend. Some showers around this afternoon. Took the old girl for her run garage quite busy with people topping up their cars. A couple of fuel pumps already empty which a surprise but across the country many fuel stations are closed.. Time for coffee and sticks now… Read more »
Morning Ice
Good morning Ice,
As Pam said yesterday ‘you have my sincere sympathy’ adjusting to the time change. Ours was early March.
Wishing you a very nice peaceful Sunday.
See you tomorrow.😊
Howdy-do Lovely Early Bird People 🐦 My weather is just nuts & from your posts below, apparently everyone’s weather is nuts 😄 The highs were 93 on Thurs, 45 on Fri and back up to 80 today, 90 tomo 🤔 Up early, laundry done; good grief, i really don’t want to take a nap before lunch; that’s just wrong 🙄 @Jenn, glad to see the infusion helped Deena get past some side effects of chemo 🙏 @Ardyth ~ Tucson, to answer your question on relationships: you are correct, Cody is Kitty’s son and Noah is Cody’s oldest Ice/Beryl, good luck… Read more »
Thanks for the explanation Pam. I can’t believe I was right
😀 😘
Good Morning! Sunny and 44 going up to 62 (26 degrees colder than yesterday). Winds NNE 10 to 20 mph. Tonight’s low will be in the 30s 🥶 Yesterday was so warm that the AC kicked in. Then it got so chilly overnight that this morning the furnace kicked in 🥴 Today I need to go grocery shopping at Aldi. I always buy our eggs and Greek Yogurt at Aldi. Craig prefers their Happy Farms brand of whole fat Greek yogurt compared to all of the other brands he has tried. Craig also likes their brand of Ground Flax Seeds… Read more »
Hi Kathy.
That is a very healthy yogurt good for Craig.
We have a couple of times per week a porridge make with oats and golden flax seeds very tasty.

Craig has his healthy yogurt every morning. He also mixes in thawed blueberries. Your porridge sounds good 😋
Morning Kathy
Craig will have a long day!!! Pretty flowers blooming!
We were 99° yesterday. The swamp cooler is doing it’s job now since the air is dry. We dont need to turn it on until later in the afternoons.
The Phlox is looking good, so pretty 💗 Long day for Craig, i see a nap in his Saturday afternoon future. 🏏
Good morning
I didnt do much yesterday…I could find things to do but really needed a couple days of not doing much….I did do my fingernails.
Rick grilled half a chicken with BBQ sauce.
It has been windy overnight. We are going to go to Sweetwater wetlands to walk this morning.
Hi Ardy,
It is good to recognize when we need to just relax and rest when we feel tired.
Sounds like a fun day going to the wetlands. 💗
Yeah, I keep very busy cleaning, have to take a break now and then.
Hi Ardy
Sometimes we all need a few days break from our “doings” to regain strength and stamina. Enjoy your time at Sweetwater wetlands today 😀
Good morning, Well the adventure day was put on hold yesterday. We headed out and went to IHOP for a big yummy breakfast but by the time we came out it was just too hot to head off for a day outside. It was almost 90 degrees and the humidity was high. Along with the pollen we decided to wait for a cooler day. I did get some grocery shopping done. Sis Deena had an infusion at the hospital mid-week and she is feeling better since then. The infusion was an hour of a fluid into the port she has… Read more »
Hi Jenn
Sorry it was too hot for your adventure but at least you had a nice breakfast.
Glad to hear Deena is feeling better after the infusion.
Thank you, it was a relief to know she was feeling better.
We did have a good breakfast.😘
😄
Wow Jenn.
That is my sort of heat wave I would be complaining about.lol.
With a high pollen count that must be unbearable. 😘
Hi Jenn
I think it’s wise to wait for a cooler day for your adventure. Plus, it would be helpful if the pollen is greatly reduced at that time.
Really great news that the infusion helped Deena feel better 🙏🏻
