After the excitement of our cruise and visit to Spain, we were happy enough to be at home. We got back into our morning walk which is around our neighborhood for about 2.5 miles. We keep track of the neighbors cars and horses and lawnwork. (We have 2 cactus plants and a whole bunch of rock in our yard.) This saguaro is a couple blocks away and once in a while it blooms. It really is amazing.
In addition we have the annual ceremony on this day (May 9 if you are curious):
100F for the first time in 2018. Exciting stuff! (37.7C just doesn't have the same ring.)
So, ok, we are dull when we are home. We do sometimes have visitors.
Someone has to eat all that seed that falls out of the birdfeeder. And, of course, I have to take a photo on or close to the solstice.
So, any more questions about why there aren't a lot of posts? I could complain about local politics or national politics but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't do any good.
In July we did have some excitement but not of the good sort. A relative who lives in Washington state had a sudden turn for the worse. We decided we'd better get up there and check things out for ourselves. Happily our relative kind of clicked back and is doing reasonably well again. So we got to visit the Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge out on the Olympic Peninsula.
It has a fantastic spit of land that reaches out into the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
You do get to see SOME wildlife.
But when you are out on the spit you get to see the Olympics. It is amazing!
It's not quite enough to make me want to move there but almost!
That's it for today. I'll work on August and September soon. Promise. Thanks for stopping by. Have a good one.
