Just a pretty picture

Nothing new here, just a picture of the butterflys in the garden.

I can see or at least it looks like it..

Last Friday we headed to Vegas again, this time to pick up Hubbies new eye. (He still can't see any better though). The Dr. did a pretty good job of matching the color, and personally I think it looks pretty good.

This trip was a whole lot better than the one we made a week ago, we ran into the worst down pour that I think Vegas has ever seen. At times I couldn't even see the road and when you are on the freeway that's pretty scary. Even with the windshield wipers running as fast as they could the only thing I could see was a dim outline of the tail lights of the car in front of me, if that guy would have gone off the road, I'd have been right behind him. Thank heavens it wasn't a snow storm....

I'm still not use to seeing him with an eye and at times I have to do a double take. It has does wonders for his self-esteem. There is some fine tuning that still has to be done, so we have to make another trip to Vegas next Friday, but the trip is well worth the time. The eye socket has to adjust to something being there again, and in time should move with the other eye. It does move some now, but down the road it will track even better.

Latest Project

Can you spot the boat in this picture?

It's just between the palm trees. This is what the front looked like when we moved in .

Well the boat sailed off into the sun set last weekend.

We started out making a stronger post to hold the humming bird feeder because the shepherds hook really swayed in the wind and on days when it was really ripping around here the feeder would be empty in minutes, I would say a few choice words and the hummers would hover in front of the windows asking for food.




So Monday morning after I got the clothes hung on the clothes-line, we took our favorite drive to Home Depot (I should buy stock in that place, most of our money goes there, even more than the casinos get) just to pick up a couple of posts to make a hanger for the feeder.














This is what it ended up as, our very own wishing well. Notice the size of the palm trees, I can't believe they have grown that much in a little over a year and 9 months. If the wind manages to blow hard enough to empty the feeder now I'm afraid that's not all that will be gone.


The hummers are really enjoying their new diner.....
