Just another day

Whoops….it looks like the lightning strike is going to do in the palm tree.  It looks rather ‘stressed’ doesn’t it?

We finally had some rain yesterday.  It was enough to make the street wet but not enough to even form a puddle!  We did our morning rounds during the “downpour” as it wasn’t much of a deterrent as you can tell from the windshield of our golf cart.  BUT……it certainly made things uncomfortably humid!  Our humidity was up to 60%!!!!!!!!!!!!!  We’re not used to that yucky thick air.  I’ll take my 100 triple digit and my 10% humidity rather than that anytime.  Save that humid dense atmosphere for you folks back east.

No other ‘big exciting’ news to report but we had fun just driving around the resort looking for some action as my camera trigger finger was itchy.

Found Sherri Puente hard at work up at the sales office.  Say Hi to Sherri.

Eddie was hard at work fixing the door on the shed at the tennis courts.  There are a multitude of little ‘chores’ that need to be done to maintain our buildings.  I like to call them “honey dos”……honey do this, honey do that, etc.  Open-mouthed smile

Larry and Vera Burke made the mistake of stopping to say good morning while my camera was still active.

Landscapers are still hard at work.  Their “to do” list is NEVER done!

Spotted these two little burrowing owls on top of the house at 1160.  It is one of their favorite perches!

We also saw a whole ‘herd’ of baby quail this morning tagging along after their Mom and Dad but they scurried off into the bushes before I could get a decent picture.  Dang!

Speaking of bird pictures…….check out this awesome photo from Don and Dorothy Quigan at Site 43.  Don says this roadrunner comes up on their patio quite frequently to peek in the door or at least to look at his handsome face in the glass reflection.  This day he brought his lunch…………a cute little tree lizard.  Thank you to Don and Dorothy for sending us the picture!

Not everyone we see around the resort is working, however.  Some folks are busy playing.
