Rain, inside and out

And the days continue to fly by. Can't believe it is the last part of November. For some reason this seems to be the fastest month of the year. 

Looks like summer is finally over. Now we are having rain. Mostly on the west side of town, so we just see clouds. Expecting 1/2 inch over the next few days. 

Came across this photo the other day. January 1978, 10 minutes after the picture was taken we were in motorhome on our way from Las Angeles to Argentina. Quite a trip. The only person in this picture that didn't go was our oldest son Dennis, he is standing to my right (I have on the white shirt.) 47 years ago. 

On a couple of the cooler mornings my friend and I managed to walk in the Wetlands. Last Wednesday these pictures were taken - I got in 11,000 steps that day. At this one pond the beavers keep trying to dam it up. And the rangers keep cleaning their work up. The beavers got quite a bit done this time. The pond was backing up. They use the reeds and mud to make the dam. 

Another one of the ponds, the machine that cuts back the reeds has been busy. This is the most we've ever been able to see of this pond. It has beavers too. There were at last count 84 beavers in the parks many ponds. We were walking between rains. 

I just liked this picture. Things are more golden than green now.

Someone's plastic pumpkin in the river. When ever it rains every thing in the streets, ditches and tunnels under Vegas used to control flooding, ends up here. 

They are so elegant looking.  He was standing right below the bridge we were on. 

Looking up North the river. Not many migrating birds yet. 

I think this is a she - On one side of the bridge.

Right across from her he was singing his heart out. 

This quilt is done and waiting to be sent to great granddaughter. I like it, the sunflower is one of my favorite flowers. 

Our son came over and took us out to breakfast on Saturday. My meal was French Toast Tacos. Had to try it. Very, very good. The French toast was put in a form to make it taco like. Had bacon, scrambled eggs and cheese in it. Yum. And the potatoes were delicious but the French toast filled me up. 

Another quilt I am working for same family, this time great grandson. It is all pinned and partly quilted. Using masking tape to make lines to follow in quilting it. 

Had to go out this morning to cardiologist office to get a heart monitor.  Luckily got there and back between the rain storms. Have to wear it until Friday. 

Discovered we had a leak from the rain. It is leaking right over the door that separates the garage from the laundry room. Some of the water ends up on laundry room floor even when door is closed. Going to have to call someone to fix it. If I dared I'd go up there and use some Flex Seal. 

Tomorrow Bill sees the laser surgery eye doctor. Hope he can get him in to laser it soon.  He can hardly see anything. Could not even see the food on his plate last night. Can't read any menus, labels on cans or boxes. Very frustrating for him.
