Easter is coming.

 We've had a few unusual days. Some good some not so good. 

The new header is looking out into the desert behind us.

The weather at least has been warming up a little. Now if the wind would just quit blowing. This afternoon is supposed to be warmer low 70's with no wind. Then a couple of days around the 80's before more wind and cooler weather. 

Must to my dismay we discovered another place the mice had nested. Should have looked there earlier but just didn't think they would be there. On the shelving up in our closet! And they loved it there. Especially in a container containing Bill's really nice sweaters. Basically all lost. Holes chewed in them. And they also got in some bedding and a bunch of Bill's jeans. So many loads of laundry later...I hope that is the last of it.  One good thing have not found any new poops in about two weeks. So hopefully they are GONE!

I finished my Irish window hanging, but not until after Saint Patrick's day was gone. And I already had my Easter decorations out. 

Table decorations. 

And stained glass for the window. 

We also put some artificial greenery and flowers outside in the window boxes. Hopefully the powers that be don't notice them and make us take them down. 

This is the part of the house that faces the street. One room is the sewing room the other has our computer desks in it. 

My ocotillo has one leaf at the very top, so guess it isn't dead. Will wait and see if it gets anything else. 

This weekend is the NASCAR dirt races at Bristol Speedway. Watched practice yesterday. Every one seemed to do okay, but not many trucks or cars on the track at the same time. Today is qualifying and the truck race. Tomorrow the Cup car race. So should be fun to watch. 

Our mail got all screwed up again. Seems regular postman was out ill and the replacement either misplaced our mail or forwarded it to where we have it sent when we travel. Regular postman is trying to get things straightened out. Took another call to their Customer Service people and a return call from someone at our post office. And luckily Bill saw the postman yesterday so we'll see what happens now. One package got forwarded and has disappeared into never never land. 

Tuesday we get our 2nd shot.
