It’s Tuesday Again! Wow!
Another week has flown by. Did it fly by for you too?
January Marches On!
Happy Birthday Sweet Man!
We were busy preparing for a birthday party for sweet man and two of our friends. We had 28 people here at the house, and even though everyone brings something to share, it takes coordination on our part to make it all run smoothly. Cleaning house, setting up tables and chairs, smoking a pork shoulder for pulled pork sandwiches, and picking up the delicious Costco birthday cake are all something we do to get the party ready. It’s a good busy!
And let’s not forget… we also took a trip out into the desert. You can say we didn’t ease into January. We welcomed January in full force!
When we set out on our desert trip, we encountered a passing rain/windstorm for about 20 minutes. The wind blew in quite a few tumbleweeds! It was an incredible sight to witness! I hope you can click on the video below.
New Year Resolutions?
Do you make New Year’s resolutions?
As January marches on… I am not the person who chooses a word for the year or makes New Year’s resolutions. However, I do enjoy setting goals to get a few projects done, writing in my journal more often where I can reflect, trying to stick to healthy eating, and also trying to add a few more books to my yearly book list. I am active enough, and I am content with my life, especially my life with sweet man. So, this program of mine works. I understand there is always room for improvement, and I will be open-minded to anything that will bring freshness to my old ideals.
How about you? Resolutions? Goals?
Our Desert Gardens
With January in full swing… the month can bring cold temps across the nation. We, too, are impacted. The temps got below the 30s this past week. Our lantanas and bougainvilleas froze. January marched upon them! We are sad, but as soon as the threat of cold temps is gone, we will trim the bushes, and their beauty will return in time.
Wildlife
Before I sign off I needed to share with you the wildlife sightings in our back yard. This Roadrunner has been in our backyard often this past week. It wants my hummingbirds and or goldfinches!
Their usual menu items of lizards and snakes are hibernating so little birds are next on the menu. They do eat small rodents and insects as well
I went out on the patio and made a quick turn, and I almost tripped on the Roadrunner. It is not fearful of me. I clap my hands to make him move on. Usually, they are fast and move away quickly. Not this one… it is not frightened of me. It’s always fun to see but please leave my birds alone!
That’s Not All Folks!
A few days ago, I went out to feed my Hummingbirds, and a Bobcat came out of a bush 3 feet away from me. When he saw me he leaped up to the top of the wall and into our back neighbor’s yard. Let’s just say my heart was beating faster than usual. I was startled and he was startled, but if it had a litter, it would have come after me.
Then a few days later the Bobcat came back again!
They sure are beautiful! It looks comfortable sitting in our yard, doesn’t it? UNBELIEVABLE!
Thank You!
That’s all I have for you this week.
As I always try to convey… we certainly appreciate all of you. Thanks for joining us for another Tuesday Tidbits.
We wish all of you a wonderful week ahead. Whatever you have planned… make every day count and be thankful for your Blessings!
