Well at least we can keep M&S happy

We found a bench for the garage so now we can sit down and tie our shoes instead of standing on one leg and trying to balance.

The other method was to sit on the floor but then you have to get up and as we get older that gets harder and harder!

So, M&S you should be happy.

You can now come and visit again.

Babies! or Chicks!

We haven't seen any baby Gambel Quail this year yet and we felt it was soon going to be too late to see any.

However, a family just walked through our yard.

I managed to barely capture the father shooing away one of his chicks and a couple that were stranded behind.

There were a lot of chicks but they moved too quickly to photograph!

A Royal Visitor

The snake that came to visit us today in our driveway has been confirmed as a California King Snake.

Although I did not get a tape measure and measure it we believe it is between 4-5 feet long.

We like those - they eat rattlesnakes and packrats!

Go to it!

We also found a piece of iron art

We've been looking for a piece of iron art for the wall outside the pool/back door where we often sit and enjoy the weather and the view.

We found one we both loved!

The colors are actually a bit more intense than the photo shows and when we get it mounted outside we'll take more pictures and post those.

Another piece of furniture!

Yesterday we learned that a very nice furniture store called "Knock-on-Wood" was going out of business and today was the first day of their sale.

So, off we went.

When we had visited the store before we fell in love with the southwestern motif on some of their talbes and today we bought a 'sofa table' as they call it.

A surprise in our box of mail (or BOM)

Sue Veseth sent us another BOM and there was a surprise in it!

She had finished the scarf from the yarn we bought together here in Tucson.

It is gorgeous but a little warm for this time of year here!

Our new Breakfast Nook Table

Yesterday we stopped at Copenhagen Furniture Outlet and bought a table that we had actually fallen in love with months ago.

There was a sale going on and we bought it!

Asked our neighbor's son in law to help us bring it home in his SUV and then to help us carry it in.

It is HEAVY! It was made from Brazilian Rosewood and stainless steel in Singapore.

We are so excited!
