Woke up at my normal time of 7 o'clock and felt rested. However, we laid in bed for another hour catching up on the world and my blog friends. Dolly wrote to tell me it was 14 degrees back home. Brr!
Looking out the window I could tell it was going to be a partly cloudy to mostly cloudy day and they call for 60 degrees for a high and it is 55 now. The wind was still coming out of the northeast at a 14 mph clip. Not the best day in "Sunny Yuma".
We had breakfast and I went the full Monty with bacon and eggs. Love bacon and eggs! It was about noon by the time I finished all three courses of my breakfast.
Yuma wanted to take a walk, so I walked and he ran around the desert. For some reason he loves to run through the sand at top speed. Didn't take my camera. Darn!
At two, I decided it was time to pull out my local boosted TV antenna and see if it would pick up more than the channels from Mexico.
The clouds looked weird as if it may rain today. My antenna is on the left and the RV antenna is on the right. Not too much difference in height. It took me awhile to figure out where to plug the cables and after calling my professional wiring guy, and also my son Jim, I got it working. To my surprise I not only got the Mexican channels, but ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox out of Yuma. Now we're talking.
As evening came on I could hear a little pitter patter on the roof. Mind you, there was not much, but it did sprinkle for a minute or two. That's big news around Yuma and they talked about it on the weather at CBS news time.
I just had to take some pictures of the clouds.

Time now to finish up this post and have my dessert before Yuma and I head off to bed.
Fascinating pictures of the rain clouds. The one with RV and antennas is eerie. Yuma probably loves running through the desert with no chollas or other cacti to worry about.

Merry Christmas, Dolly! You're probably right. No feet pain to worry about. No clouds today.
DeleteWhat is your TV antenna booster?, We don't use one and there are many times a little boost would be welcome. A bit of rain here as well under very cloud skies.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!
I use an antenna similar to one you can buy from Lowes for around $50.

ReplyDeleteThank you Bill. Hope you're having a beautiful white Christmas. See you next year for sure.
DeleteYour pictures are beautiful of the cloudy day. Pitter patter on the roof? Could it be the reindeer making a test run? haha
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, Doug. Enjoy the day!
You're right Patsy. It may have been Santa's sleigh! Where are my presents? Merry Christmas 🎅
DeleteI well remember how frustrating it was while in that area to have the airwaves totally dominated by those powerful Mexican radio and TV channels blasting across the border. Good thing you got that booster. Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteThanks Al. Wish I could understand their news commentator. Would be interesting. Merry Christmas to you, Kelly and Pheebs!
DeleteGorgeous pictures! Merry Christmas and have a wonderful day today!
ReplyDeleteThank you. You and Ken and your whole family have a Merry Christmas 🤶
DeleteYay! Congratulations on getting the Yuma channels. You are really making me miss the beautiful skies at Pilot Knob. We don't get that here. I understand Yuma got some rain but we didn't. Looks like today is sunny 😎😎😎. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThanks Elva. It sprinkled off and on into the night. Today is beautiful and warm. Merry Christmas to you and Jerry!
DeleteWishing you a Safe and Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteAlways good to have more Channels.

ReplyDeleteThank you Cheryl. Good to hear from you. Love my Serengeti! Merry Christmas to you and your family.
DeleteMerry Christmas! The afterglow made up for the grey cloudy day. We had the same pitter/patter of rain on our roof a couple of times. Was glad to see the sun this morning.
