The rainy weather last week made for beautiful
sunrises over the Sierra's.
As the storm ended Monday it brought my favorite clouds,
big, low, puffy ones.
They look like you could sit on the edge and dangle your feet over.
If only my ladder was a bit taller!
Even their reflection in the pool was cool.
The sky was a brilliant deep blue that we only get after a good storm has cleared the air.
Later we went for a drive and spotted this family out for a walk.
Whimsy is alive and well after all!
We stopped at a drive-thru and I was horrified to see what I thought was several dead birds.
Too much orange chicken from the Panda Express patio?
I was glad to see my first impression was wrong.
It turned out to be
The Red Rock Bird Spa.
As we sat and waited 5 to 10 birds at a time would be in this one spot. It was so amusing to watch bird after bird flutter over from the nearby bushes and take their turn in the sauna made by the water under the warm rocks. There were many puddles nearby but this was the place to be!
We have a busy day planned today but I will get back to visiting soon. Everyone is well (knock on wood!) and we're all back in our routines. My son is assisting with his high school's varsity basketball team and his Special Olympics team starts practicing soon so he's happy as a clam. My daughter is back to her chipper self and enjoying friends at school instead of playing with mommy! I missed all the New Year's posts so I'll be checking in to see how you all are and what your plans for 2011 are. For me it will THE year to get organized and get fit. Oh, wait, that was last year's resolutions...
