Tuesday Tidbits #309 Raindrops Keep Falling

It’s Raining!

This is such exciting news! We really needed the rain! It has not rained since August. The desert is celebrating today! 🌧️😊

So is our yard!

Rain on our windshield.

Water puddle on our hot tub cover.

With the rain falling outside, I’m warm and cozy inside because it is cold out. I’ve got all the candles lit, and I’m in my comfy loungewear by the fireplace. I baked some delicious cookies and smiled while setting up my journal for February. It has been a delightful day! It’s Winter in the desert.

Another journal addition.
This will be filled in no time!

Hot Chai lattes keep me warm.

Car Show

A few days before the rain came, we attended a local car show. We saw some classic cars. Oldies but goodies!

Last Tuesday in January

Can you believe it’s going to be February next week? Warmer temperatures are coming, too. We look forward to returning to our back patio, and hopefully, we’ll see our favorite birds.

Hummingbird

Quail

Northern Cardinal

Roadrunner

Cooper’s Hawk

We had a wonderful week, and we are so thankful for it.

But we can not forget those who have lost their homes due to the devastation of the fires and hurricanes. We continue to keep them in our thoughts and prayers.

Thank You 

That’s all for now. Stay warm my friends! 

As I always try to convey… we sure do appreciate all of you. Thank you for joining us for another Tuesday Tidbits.

I see a little more light in the sky each day as I leave the office to come home. Thanks for sharing this great collection of photos this week!

    1. We are more North so that’s why we had the rain.

      Happy Tuesday! See you soon!

  6. Beautiful post. Cool cars. That dog in the driver’s seat looks a bit like Jake. I love the bird photos.

  7. Thank you for these beautiful thoughts and photos as we near the end of January and forge into February. I find myself smiling when I see a cute little puppy on TV or a photo of a beautiful sunset or sunrise. I feel so Blessed to be able to appreciate all of God’s beauty around us. I also use my daytimer to record not only my appointments but my thoughts and feelings as I review each day. Your drawings are much better than my little scribblings but I smiled at each one. It has been unseasonally (or unseasonably) cold here in Florida these past few weeks so I am looking forward to much warmer temps. Have a wonderful and cozy week. hugs always

    1. Oh, Kari, I know you have been cold as well. My sister lives in Florida, and she has also been cold.
      I thank you always for your kind words. Happy Trails to you on this beautiful Tuesday!

  8. I LOVE all of your pics, Nancy, but this week? The simplicity of the raindrops on the windshield stole my heart. Well, that and I have a hankering for a chocolate chip cookie. xo! 🥰

    1. Those cookies were so good right out of the oven. I make a dozen or so and only eat two when they are warm. The rest are all for sweet man. I quenched my hankering for them yesterday.
      Happy Trails to you Victoria. Thanks for stopping by. 🥰🩷🥰

  9. We could use some rain too Nancy! Believe it not, I love winter which gives me an excuse to stay indoors and be lazy…read or bake. Love seeing the birds, we have lots of Cardinals at our feeders. I just read that Arizona has a dozen varieties of hummingbirds…I’m so envious! We only have one variety, the ruby throated hummingbird, that you have in PA. I always look forward to their return. Wishing you a wonderful week ahead. ♥

    1. Yes we have several kinds of hummingbirds. We enjoy them very much and they are extremely territorial of their feeders.
      Thank you for your sweet comments. How nice of you to stop by.
      Enjoy your week! Happy Trails to you!
      ❤️🩷❤️

  10. Glad you got some rain and were able to get the car show in before it started. They certainly are beautiful vehicles. I love your feathered friends and hope they stop by soon. We have more snow coming through tomorrow, but today we have a cold day but lots of sunshine so that’s okay. Happy February.

    1. Thank you Judy!
      I am always glad to hear from you.
      We all need to stay warm.
      Take good care and wishing you a wonderful week ahead.

  11. Happy Tuesday, Nancy! I am so happy that you are receiving much needed rain. Your home looks so beautiful and cozy. The chai latte and cookies look delicious. The boys in my house would love that car show. Take care and enjoy your week, sweet friend!

  12. I love the photos of the rain on your windshield. The textures are great. And thank you for giving us a peek inside your journal, which is charming! How fun was that car show! Loved seeing the birds and hope the rain gives you what you need to get through the next dry spell.

  13. Your journal is lovely, . I’m sure you had fun decorating it, and you will enjoy it again as your record your thoughts and events in February. I’m happy for you that you got rain–what a relief it is.

  14. It’s raining here in North Central Texas this evening and I’m sure our sleeping wildflower are very pleased to have a drink! I could use a plate of those warm chocolate chip cookies too. Winter in the southwest is a treat!

  15. Blessed rain 🌧️ I’m so happy you’ve received some and (also) filled your week with all sorts of activities as usual, Nancy. The dog in the car made me laugh 🤭 Have a great last 48 hours of January.

Thank You So Much... for sharing your kind words. I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy schedule to share your thoughts.
