If I could be sure of how this looked across all platforms I’d have the graphic be the last word in the title, but then I’ll see it on Facebook or somewhere and it won’t look quite right. Regardless, I thought I’d review the weekend for you. Again, I did not take any photos. Becoming a trend, that.

If you follow our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/WAAP2), then you may have seen this photo when it was uploaded this morning. The post said something about having a great day when your breakfast smiles at you. So, unfortunately this little portend showed its “face” this morning after we had already started a difficult day. Maybe the eggs were telling us, “don’t worry, things’ll get better.” Is it kind of like reading tea leaves? I break four eggs in a bowl in the morning and I can see where the day is going? Hmmmm what are the odds? Let’s review the day.

We have a few projects… I know what you’re thinking. “You always say that!” That isn’t an untruth. But this time I want to talk about projects that Sue tackled by herself while I was gone. We all know that she’s made of tough stuff, so this really isn’t very surprising, but I was impressed because I had helped her some with the biggest one and it was tough with two, then she goes and does the lion’s share by herself (maybe that means I wasn’t really helping in the first place?).

No. Not crop circles. We don’t get those types of signs here 🙂 If you’re an M. Night Shyamalan fan – you’ll get the reference. The signs I’m talking about are of spring. Yes, we live in Arizona. Yes, there is desert. Yes, we have cactus – they bloom too! But also, we are in the high desert (where I am sitting at the moment, we are at 4946.88′. Pretty high up there – only 333.12′ shy of a mile). Point being, we do get signs of spring in our back yard. All be it, they are mostly from plants we have added. Most of our native plants show their signs of life during monsoon season. Unless we’ve had a wet winter, which we have not.

I spoke prematurely a couple of days ago when I said that the weather had been mild and it felt like the beginning of project weather. This graph is of our wind yesterday evening. Not exactly mild. It really wasn’t the best day to being our planting, but that is what we ended up doing.

You may have heard. we had some snow. Started on Sunday afternoon. Slacked off over night and then started again with renewed vigor Monday afternoon. At one point, we contemplated changing Rhiann’s flight home because I wasn’t sure we’d make it out in the snow. Turns out that it was a good thing we did not. Tuesday we were socked in.

When you walk onto the porch in the afternoon and the resident road runner is sheltering under the patio table, you might have a coyote problem. My first exposure to coyotes and road runners may be similar to yours: Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner. You can see them here as they appeared in the “To Beep or Not to Beep” episode from the Looney Tunes and Merry Melodies shorts (created by Chuck Jones and Michael Maltese). Every time I see our Road Runner, the theme song goes through my head… and it will for you now too! If you’re missing out, here’s a link to a YoutTube with the original song: https://youtu.be/OwYQsZuh2CM . Anyway, we are having issues with one coyote in particular. Here’s the deal…

To the novice Christmas participant, this may seem a rather late greeting; however, we are still in the midst of Christmas. There are twelve days, you know, leading up to Epiphany on the 6th – this is Christmastide! So we are still wishing you joys of the season. And, tonight, hoping that your New Year’s Eve revels are safe and fun, spent with your close family and/or friends. As for us, we’ll be home with the chickens, ducks, geese, goats, dogs and cats. Probably in bed by 8:30 pm Arizona Time.

It’s been fall now for a while. We even had some cold weather to prove it. Now we’re having late spring weather. Cool mornings and evenings, exceeding warm by midday. Even though our temps are, um, temperamental. There are still some pretty nice scenes of fall around here. We’re just gonna share some with you today.
