Wall Progress, Bugs, Flowers


Good Morning, Readers:

Let's see what interesting items Mouse and I can post for you today.


First I'd like to send a thank you to Barb Poole for helping to keep us summer people happy and occupied.  Barb has organized several outings for us to various restaurants plus an upcoming bus trip to a casino.  She even takes the time to publish a pamphlet each month.  Thank you, Barb!  


You'd probably recognize Barb because she is at all of our season events with a camera attached to her.

Next topic is flowers and bugs:

I'm glad the cactus flowers don't all open on the same day.  With them each on a different time schedule, it keeps our rounds interesting.  I found these this morning at the fancy casita site.  The amazing part is how many buds are getting ready to open.






Nature lover that I am............I find it fascinating to check out the insects in this desert of ours.  Found a couple weirdos again this morning.

 This fly  as such long wings for his short stubby little body.


This hornet looks like a fierce one.  Kind of scary looking.


Okay............back to basics:

Even though it's Friday, a construction crew is busy on the ballroom walls.  The sound of nail guns and hammers can be heard.







I took time to study the totem poles by the pottery room.  Very interesting.  Congratulations to all who contributed.


We spotted Fernando and Mark Kenner checking out the pump box by the big lake this morning.


They were trying to get the other pump to work.  I'm sure there is always something to challenge them every day.  Never a dull moment.


Whoops.................I must have taken a long time to post today.  Mouse seems to have gotten bored waiting for play time.
