It is too cold!

With the spa/pool at 104 degrees Michael was still too cold!

So, on with the wetsuit!!!!!!!!!!!

Can you tell that we are excited?

We managed to get the cushions clean of the mildew and dirt of many years past.

Enjoying the chairs for the first time

Another Gambel Quail family

This morning we happened to see another family just outside our office windows.

The male quail were watching over the babies.

Our very first Craig's List Purchase

Last night we happened to see a listing just as it was posted and we called the number listed but had to leave a message - didn't give us much hope.

The seller woke me up this morning just after 7 and we made arrangements to meet when he would be back home between 4-5 pm.

We went over there and left with two teak Captain's Steamer Lounge Chairs.

They hadn't been used in quite a while and needed to be cleaned up and oiled.

So our next stop was Lowe's for some teak oil and then home where I went to work on cleaning them up.

Michael helped me put on the first coat of teak oil but tomorrow we will apply more as they are a bit dry but we love them.

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!
