July is right around the corner!

I was watching the weather report a couple of days ago when one of the news anchors asked the weather guy how many days since the first of the year would we have had a complete day of sunshine. He said that is an interesting question and I will have to check. He did not think it could be more than 5!! I know every morning I have hopped or drug myself out of bed with the purpose of getting my butt out the door for a walk and been met with rain or the threat of rain. You all know how much I enjoy taking photos and cloudy weather is not optimal for the best photos. Hope is in my heart!
Yesterday I continued my efforts to get the yard tidied up with removing weeds, picking up flotsam and jetsam and making it look up to my standards. FYI- my standards are kind of low. Weather and wet have been the main obstacle but energy was close behind. All things were 'go' yesterday including me!  A 10-pound weight loss can make a huge difference. I haven't lost any more but I have stayed steady so I know what I have lost is real. And more importantly, I feel so much more energetic.

Just got a text message about a $1.00 charge on our main credit card. The charge was made today! Nope! Not us! So I called and got that straightened out. We have new cards on the way. But the thought just trickled through my head that I need to check what auto pays if any are associated with that card number. And of course, none are readily coming to mind. Well, that put a new wrinkle in my day!

These are the photos of the past few days:
This was taken on 6/25 and it was the view where I am sitting while on the computer. It was a good thing I was quick because it lasted less than a minute

 And this is the prolifically blooming Christmas cactus and the 'never give up' geranium. I didn't realize they were so close to the same color

Sick of Rain

I am just guessing but it seems like we have not gone more than 2 days without rain since we came home from Texas on April 25th.  I am ready to move to the desert! It is hard to find a dry period of time in which to mow.
I am still feeling very well. Butch is too and his hair is growing and becoming much easier to get corraled in a ponytail.
We have not been doing much of any consequence or out of the ordinary so posts might be a bit on the dull side until I kick up some trouble and/or fun.
Till next time...
Christmas cactus is about to strut its stuff again. This baby knows how to bloom over and over again. Our back yard is its favorite spot.

 Creek is full and overflowing. This is west across hwy 4 while sitting in the car in Leo and Keri's driveway.
