This morning by the time I got out of bed at 9 o'clock it was already in the 40s. No, I didn't sleep that long. I actually was awake at 8 o'clock but since Yuma was still sleeping, I read comments and answered them.
It was cloudy when I first awoke, but by the time Yuma and I went outside, it was a beautiful day. He loves running through the grass.

Expecting to hit mid 70s today so will be quite warm. Looking outside I could see that several of our four legged friends were passing by and munching on grass as they went.
See lots of these mounds and they do look active based on the scratches going in and out of the holes, but still haven't seen anything yet. Maybe I'll have to look at night.
As I was sitting outside, Yuma was inside resting in the window when I heard him jumping around. I had left the door open so he could come in and out as he pleases, so I though it was a fly. It wasn't.
A small bird had entered through the open door and Yuma was trying to catch it. Thank goodness I looked.
The little bird was at the front window desperately wanting to get out. I opened a side window and shooed it out and it was happily on its way. Later I saw a bird on a tree nearby and I think it was the same bird singing a little tune for me in thanks.

Cheri mentioned in her comments that the Cottonwood was their state tree. You'll have to look it up to see what state they live in. I like the Cottonwood also. In fact, as I was sitting outside eating breakfast, I was looking toward Cienegas Creek and all the Cottonwoods I walked through yesterday.
This morning we got some new neighbors. They have been setting up camp and I'm guessing they will be doing some horseback riding in the morning.
As the day progressed, the clouds started coming in. No rain, but at least it cooled things down to where I could lay outside in comfort without the awning.
Haven't said much about the solar panels and fridge lately. That's because everything has been going great. Smooth as silk. Watched three hours of TV Friday night and still had plenty of juice left.
Too cloudy for a pretty sunset, so will close early tonight.
See you later.
Wow! What great neighbors you have now. Cant wait to see the horses galloping through the grass like Yuma. Poor little bird. I'm sure it was glad to be free, again. I wonder what kind of bird it is. Hello to the cows! Try to keep your feet awake! 😀
ReplyDeleteThanks Dolly. Couldn't believe my foot fell asleep while doing my blog. Almost killed myself when I tried standing up:)) Hope to see horses and riders tomorrow morning.
ReplyDeleteI did that about 6 months ago. I got up from the chair and my right leg collapsed and I fell straight down. Not fun. Bach hurt for months.
DeleteEnjoy the cowboys when they ride out. Sounds like you have the solar/battery demands in control. Stay Safe!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jeff. I hope I'm up before they ride into the sunrise:)) I'm glad the solar panels are doing the job. So glad I did this early so I could enjoy the White Lion while I'm still healthy. I love this RV.
DeleteGreat pictures of Yuma running through the grass. Glad to read everything is working well with your refrigerator and the solar. Sounds like a nice relaxing day.
ReplyDeleteYuma loves the grasslands. I'm very happy with the decision to go with solar panels. Very convenient. Hope you have an uneventful travel day:)) Don't want any April Fools.
DeleteLooks like a great place Doug. I am glad that your solar set up is working well for you, certainly was the right way to go. Take care and stay healthy.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bill. I do love the convenience of my solar panels. They just keep the power going. Thanks for your advice to help me make the best decision for my lifesyle.
DeleteYou just can't help but love that area. Gave you a wave as we drove by yesterday heading back home.
ReplyDeleteI think you're taking this social distancing thing too far. Sure hope you're planning another trip this way and stop by :))
DeleteI'm happy that you are happy with the solar and fridge set up. You went through some stressful times trying to come to the right decision and you did in the end.
ReplyDeleteNice neighbours, entertaining to say the least. You are sure in a lovely spot and I'm glad your little bird friend got out okay.
Thanks Patsy. I'm very glad everyone ki d of pushed me to the solar panels. Love them. Need to remember to exercise the gunny once a month:)) I'm glad I saved the bird before Yuma got to it. Still waiting for my neighbors to saddle up.
DeleteI love to see your pictures of Yuma running. Good to see him back to normal. And the bird sang you a thank you song....life is good. And tonight is Survivor time!
ReplyDeleteIt is good to see yuma back to his normal self. I'm going to put up my local antenna and see if I can pick up Tucson. If so I'll be able to watch it. Let you know in tonight's blog. :))
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the pictures of Yuma running in the grass. He seemed pretty glad to run! That was a pretty little bird that visited your home. The horses are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you Cheri. Glad Yuma didn't get the bird.
