What I do most days.


In my twenty two years living in EG, I've never seen quail on my property until I moved here. They seem to like hanging around in the yard or in the front. They are kind of pretty. Click to enlarge and see the comb on their heads.






The king of the backyard! Those quail better beware!













The sun was setting and the fence is creating shadows. Dave has taken down the fence, finally!





The azaleas are blooming. A few weeks ago the entire alleyway was filled with pink and red camellias and purplish rhododendrons. I missed taking pictures of it.



































After three years of taking care of these roses,(the ones in the pot) they finally look good. There were more than 24 blooms on them and they smell delcious. So, this is what I work on about three hours a day average in the spring and summer. I enjoy it, but my muscles and knees don't like it. Hopefully, some of you can come visit this summer and enjoy it with us. :)

OK, this took longer than I thought it would to find my favorites. At least I won't have the 46 horns (or was that five horns?) and I will keep my teeth. Anyway, it was fun.

WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND

OK, remember in my post last week I talked about being honest. Well the lady in Lowes told me that what goes around comes around. Today, while shopping at Safeway, I dropped my license and gym pass to 24hour fitness on the ground. I found out when I got out of the car at the Doctor's office. So, I was totally stressed because of theft identity. Also, that Safeway is not in the best part of town. So, I called Dave from the doctor's office and he was going to drive to the Dollar Tree and Safeway to see where I dropped it. But then he got a call from the lady who bought our house saying that a man found my license and gym pass and drove to our old house and dropped them off! Can you believe that? He had to look up our address on Google and it was atleast three or four miles away. So Dave drove to Dottie's house (our old one on Elk Ridge Way) to pick them up and while there she told Dave that our sweet neighbor across the street (Louise, Al's wife) had died last week. On the way home from the Doctor's office Dave told me via cell phone about Louise, etc. So, when I got home I called Al and talked to him. He said he had tried to get a hold of us and left a message on our answering machine (never got it) about Louise. I think he called our old number. Anyway, I believe that God wanted us to know about Louise and for me to call Al and who knows what else will happen in the future. It made me very sad. She had colon cancer. She was such a happy, cute, energetic lady. I talked to her in January and thought that it was all under control. You never know with cancer do you. I am going to drop in on Al in the near future. He couldn't think of anything for me to do to help out. Anyone got any ideas? I think I'll make a bunch of dinners and freeze them for him. He is all alone now and blind and partially disabled but still has a wonderful sense of humor. Louise's memorial service is taking place while we are in Utah, unfortunately. I heard that the man who found my license was a practicing Christian. He was also an instrument in God's hands.
