A better night's sleep last night, I didn't wake up until the clock was pushing 6 AM. I'll take that without complaint. Not as cool this morning as it has been lately so we're happy about that as well.

| This is the most bizarre Saguaro I've ever seen. |
Out the door for a walk around 9:30 AM had me deciding I'd stick to the roadway's running around the area and I did mostly only heading across country a time or two and not far. Today's pictures were all taken with my phone. I may actually go back with the camera another day and take some better ones but at least you get an idea. Today's pictures are all Saguaro cactus as well.

| I bet some of you laughed at the first picture! I did. That's the same cactus in both photos. What a difference angle makes. In the second photo I see an adult with a small child in their arms and they are pointing at something. I won't tell you what I saw in the first photo. |
I wandered around the road ways finding some interesting places to see and things to check out, I learned a bit as well. I'm always happy to learn things. Next I'll take the Dogsled for a ride back to the area that I learned the most about and see if we like it there. Maybe next time in the area we'll have a better place to park although this one is pretty good!

I am feeling more like myself today and I think tomorrow I'll be back to even more of my regular feeling self. Last week I wanted to have a drink, a Vodka Cooler in fact and the arthritis medication I take in a once weekly dose does not allow me to drink. I just skipped the regular dose last week so I could have a drink. The medication makes me semi nauseous anyway and I think the lack of a top up last week made me more nauseous than usual. So I guess I'll not be doing that any more.

The sky never really showed much promise of any good weather today and the wee bit of blue sky that managed to peek out for 2 minutes was only a tease. A few raindrops fell tonight as I chatted with my dad to see how things were doing. They had 40 + cm/ 15 + inches of snow between Monday night and this morning. A couple more inches fell this afternoon after they finished clearing the other snow. Such fun stuff, moving all that white stuff. Dad called it an old fashioned winter. He also mentioned my sister in law Barb and her sister Connie have been delayed on returning from their DR holiday since 7:30 AM this morning. They have been delayed three times and it seems the next scheduled time to leave is 3:30 AM. What a long delay and she had no explanation as to the reason or at least she didn't give one to Rick. Connie's husband Chad was to pick them up at the Sudbury airport but now with the delay Barb's son Jason will be picking them up instead. Safe flight ladies!!

Riley baked some more cookies today, good cookies of course. She was at it when I arrived back home from my walk. I think she's becoming more settled here after a bit of anxiety earlier this winter, and the baking is helping to reach that more relaxed state. I noted she added bananas to the shopping list, so I see more banana bread in the future. That's okay, I like banana bread.
 |
| Can you see her hiding her face in the right hand photo? I think she's embarrassed by all the growths. |
So that was our day, nothing exciting but it was nice and we enjoyed it. A quiet, calm day here in our little neighbourhood. The forecast is calling for rain tonight and tomorrow so we shall see if it actually arrives. Doesn't really matter tomorrow is a day full of chores for us. Laundry, water, groceries, and a look see in a couple of stores. We are both looking forward to a day in town.

| If you keep moving we're going to faaaaalllllll...... |
Thanks for stopping by, I hope you had a most excellent day where ever you may be and doing what ever it is that you spent your day doing.

Until next time... take care, be safe,

That first picture make's one wonder if the power line might have caused the strange growth . Great pictures .Vern in Boise Id.
ReplyDeleteI wondered that myself Vern. However I haven't seen any more like that around the lines but who knows. I didn't walk more than a couple of miles along the lines though.

ReplyDeleteThanks George. All very unique aren't they.

Glad you are feeling better. That must be some strong arthritis meds you are taking! Beautiful pics Deb! Nice that Riley is your baker!
ReplyDeleteThanks Shirley. I take a pretty big dose but the side effects often make me wonder if it's worth it. If I behave myself it's usually manageable but every once in a while we all have to kick loose. Haha.
DeleteI'm very fortunate to have Riley as my traveling companion, she's a treasure.
Take care, be safe,

This was a fun post! I enjoyed the saguaro pictures, it is like walking through a museum. Some are so old and rotting but still standing proud. Thank you for the lovely tour!
ReplyDeleteThe first one did have me chuckling and I also wondered if the power lines triggered some of the configurations.
Thanks Patsy. It was a fun post to do and I enjoyed it. Like you, Vern also wondered about the power lines, and as I said to him, it was my first thought too but I didn't see any others with massive deformities but who knows. I'm glad you enjoyed the trip.

Love the fun you had with all the cacti again... I have never seen any like the first couple pictures. And I think I saw what you saw too!!
ReplyDeleteHaha....I figured YOU would see things like I did. I enjoyed the pictures but with the phone it was difficult so I may wander back with the camera and do a few over. Always unique the Saguaro cactus, no two alike.
