Close Your Eyes and The Weather Changes

Park Place RV Park

On Thursday, Feb. 12th I woke up to a gentle kiss on my cheek. Bill was getting concerned when I hadn’t moved and I was shocked when it was 7:45! I know it was a restless night, turning this way and that quite a bit. Obviously, I was still tired to be sound asleep until then. A lot of dreams fell in between the wakefulness too.

Good morning!
Clouds would rule the day.

Bill made my tea as he finished getting ready and left for the field soon after. Gibbs was ringing the bell to go out (again), ringing it with a fervor! So, Bill took him before he left and Gibbs had him going on another walk. Little bum, has his Daddy wrapped around one of those fingers! 😊 I was slow moving but did my stretches to relieve the aches.

Gibbs and I moved quickly to keep warm
(Actually, that is his normal pace between sniffs)

I finished my tea, played a few games and then sat at the table to fix the earrings that I wasn’t happy with yesterday. I am much happier with the finished product now and don’t mind showing them off. I could have made red ones so the hearts were appropriate for Valentine’s Day but then I would only wear them on that day. I wanted to be able to wear them throughout the year.

Believe it or not, it's fun.

Gibbs was looking at me around 9:45 so I left my mess on the table and took him for yet another walk. I am grateful to get out for some sort of walk and so I bundled against the wind and off we went. It was 61F/16C so warm enough until I walked facing the gusts. 😊 He took me the long way back home and I was feeling good by the time we returned.

The rain left its mark

Bill was home so I left Gibbs out on his leash with Daddy and I walked over to the clubhouse at 10:30. The puzzle was calling. I worked away until noon hour and came back for lunch. It is almost a soup day but we had our sandwiches and planned supper for tonight. As I was sitting here after lunch, there were a few raindrops on the back window. A few, maybe 50. That’s the 38% chance this morning.

Yes, diesel and regular fuel jumped.
This is the most we've paid - here

I went to the puzzle around 1:30 and worked away until 3. That was enough, it is coming along. It had rained while I was over there, I could see the wet ground, more drops on the window and that lovely smell of Arizona rain in the air. 😊 It still wasn’t much, just enough to leave Black Beauty covered in droplets, that was the 98% chance we were forewarned of. BB has been looking spiffy since we got her washed, thanks to Bill for the daily dusting.

I added one more thing to
the picture frame.
A little cactus.

For supper, we had Beef meat pies with our vegetable on the side. I haven’t made dessert in a while and today would have been a good day for it, being cooler. I’ll see how ambitious I am tomorrow. It was a good meal and quite filling. 

Next one!

I will watch Matlock and Elspeth before bed and Bill will find something to watch upstairs. We can’t get the 4 Nations Hockey Championships or I’d try to watch those, even though we are not big sports fans. Canada won last night against Sweden so that was a great start!

I was too lazy to go out so took these
from the windows.

It was a cooler day, only 62F/15C for a high, feeling cooler with the gusty winds. We still enjoy each day as it comes. No sense in whining about it!

These meat pies are pretty tasty.
Good night!

Thank you for stopping by!

  2. Fuel has actually gone down here, so I'll be fueling up. Lots of rain all day long, so no trips for me. I do love the clouds!!!

  4. Fuel is up here again, your $3.09 is looking good to us. Inching toward $4.00 ouch. The wind sure gets old, we've had it for over a week, never ending. Beef pot pies always take me back to childhood :)

  5. Still much warmer than home, and though the sand blows in the wind, we don't have to shovel it. :) No rain in Yuma, though it was cloudy, cool, and windy all day.
    Gasoline is $3.09 (cash), $3.14 (card) at one of the nearby stations. It was $2.69/$2.79 when I arrived on January 1st.

    1. Yes, fuel is rising, our diesel price hasn't budged much until yesterday.

  7. You must like brussels sprouts as much as I do.

  8. I really like brussels sprouts, but they are pretty expensive right now.
    Love how you are posting the percentages of rain. Oh and fuel will become much more expensive when the tariffs begin.

    God bless.

    1. I bought frozen Brussel sprouts a while ago and they are quite cheap here. Fresh ones don't last long enough for me.
