Memorial Day 2010


Please take a moment today to say a prayer for our veterans and a moment of silence for those who have fallen and gone on before us.
We went traveling yesterday and I got some pics of wildlife and flowers, will try to get them all in here today.

Its Sunday Morning

Good morning world.  Looks like its going to be a nice day today.  So I'm planning on doing some picture taking today.  Might even do some local site seeing.

More Pics

Took some more pics of birds today as well as some Desert Bighorn Sheep.   These sheep come down off the mountains every April or May and go back up in August to September.

Saturday

Well we went grocery shopping yesterday instead of animal site seeing.   By the time we got back the winds were blowing from 25 to 45 mph.  No way to do much outside in those type winds.  This place turned into a dust bowl by 5 pm with lousy visibility.  We are expecting storms today and of course the dang winds as well.

Another Nice Day

Got up to 66 outside and 71 in the house.  Its going to be another semi nice day.  Unfortunately we have high winds again or should I say as usual.  Sure makes for a nice but chili day.   The winds tend to make it feel a bit colder than what it really is.  We have mtn goats that come down off the mt's every summer and I am going to go see if I can see any of them and get some pics today.

Could it be?

We woke up to 68 degrees in the house and 57 outside.  And we did not run the furnace last night or this morning so it must be turning to spring or summer.  I just might get out today and do some pic taking and see what I can find in birds and wildlife I don't already have pictures of.

Another day another dollar

Well  its not the best of days but it is a new day here in paradise.  The winds are blowing as usual and the skies are cloudy.   I am so sick of the winds.  Maybe some day I will find a place with few winds and not too cold or hot.  Someday.   Had to bring my flag and awning in yesterday.  The winds were just too hard and I did not wish to damage either.

A beautiful day, almost

  The is a shining today so I put the awning out and took my pepper plant out to get some sun. Fran transplanted her tomato and strawberry plants to bigger posts as well. It would be a perfect day if the wind would just stop.   
  I would sure like to take off for the woods and go camping but the cost is just not in our budget right now.   I may just drive to the other side of the valley from us and do some daytime fishing and picture taking.   First good days with sunshine and no wind I am heading that way.

Ugly Day

So much for spring.  Its snowing out and the skys are nasty looking so its going to be a bad day.

Update

I have updated all the info on here to allow the other half to post and also allow others to comment.

Here in Little Chicago

As the lil lady calls this place because of the constant winds.  We are thinking about moving to someplace else to get away from the winds.  But the cost of moving the rv is a little cost prohibitive.   We shall see what June brings our way.

Birds

I have published some of the pictures I took of the birds feeding in the yard around us.

Todays Story

Well got me some good pics yesterday and I have them ready to post.  Will try to get them up shortly.  
Shampooed our car floors and mats yesterday and redid the mats a second time today.   
I also helped a neighbor put up outdoor privacy curtain on his house kitchen window.
Hope to get some more pics of other wildlife and birds today.

Another Day in Paradise

  Yesterday I had to run to the VA hospital in Salt Lake City, and it made for a long day when one must drive over 300 miles round trip.
  Got some great bird pics after I got home, I will publish them as soon as I identify the birds.
  Today I plan on doing more bird watching and picture taking.

Best Laid Plans

Just don't always come to fruition.  Did not make our jaunt to the mountains yesterday.  So instead I set up my flag pole with my eagle flag and also put out my awning and tied it down.  So now I am ready to sit out in the sun and begin enjoying the weather.  Unfortunately we have a storm due tomorrow.  Also tomorrow I have to make the jaunt to Salt Lake City to see my counselor at the VA Hospital.

Another Year

  Took sick yesterday and never made the wedding.  Oh well chit happens.  Today I am feeling a lot better as is the other half.
   Another year has come and gone and I am now celebrating my 30th birthday for the 20 or 30th time.  I stopped counting many years ago.  Funny sometimes I even have to as the lil lady how old I am when filling out papers.
  Today the lil lady cooked me a nice breakfast, we are planning a jaunt to the local mountains for a lunch picnic.  Oh what fun it will be.

Weather???

What is up with this weather?  One minute we are getting rain, than snow, maybe even sunshine, or just cloudy skys.  It seems as if it has no idea as to what season this is or what it wants to do.  You get hot to the point of opening all the windows, than it turns ice cold so you close them up tight than it may get hot again or rain or snow or both together.

House work today

Well today I scrubbed the shower and emptied our black tanks.  Also fixed a broken hook on our desk top slide.  It rained, snowed, and hailed today.  Did not plan a dinner today so we had leftovers.  Plan a chicken dinner for tomorrow.

Weird Weather

  I thought we were well enough into summer not to see snow in the valleys.  But it snowed this morning after it drizzeled a little rain.  Had a lot of winds yesterday.  Now the sun is shining with white clouds floating thru the sky,  although it is still cold out in the forties.   We want to take off and go fishing and I might the first break in the weather that promises a nice week or more.

I'm Back

Well I have been off the net so to speak for the past three days due to computer problems.  I finally just did a complete restore to the factory settings and now I am just doing a lot of downloading to get it all back to what it was before.

Doin' Some Visitin'

Have decided to take the lil lady to see her kids as a Mothers day present.  Not sure which kids we will see.  She has three, one in Heber, Utah one in Washington Terrace, Utah and one it Malad, Idaho.  Any way we go it will be a small adventure.  At least three hundred miles or more round trip.  And if we decide to site see we could make a good day of it.

Another Day

Another day, another dollar in the hole.  We took our lil baby Coco into the vet hospital today to get her fixed.  Will pick her up this afternoon.  I am still looking at heading out for doing some camping.  If and when this weather settles down.

Afternoon blahs

Spent most the day trying to figure out how to add pictures and so far so good.  Its going to take time for me to get this organized how I like it but I will keep trying. 

Wedneday Morning

Supposed to get a storm today and my legs are telling me that a change is happening.  I have now figured out for sure that weather does affect my legs.  I always thought it was cuz of something I had done the day or two before.  But after not doing much and yesterday having no pain at all I am now sure its the weather that causes my problems.
