Why do easy things have to become complicated?

So where was I? Oh yes, Friday in the wetlands. Back to our walk after excitement was finished. There are going to be a whole bunch of new signs in the park. Here are a couple of them. Lots of info about the flora in the area. 

And another. Hum? Hidden Pond - had top check it out. 

On the way there we came across this big Thunderbird. No explanation. Maybe we should get a drum group together...

Heard water running so went through the bush to check it out. 

Ah Ha - the hidden Pond, and it was hidden, would not have ever known about it without the sign. (I mentioned before that it was a windy overcast about ready to rain day, so pictures aren't as bright and colorful as usual.)

Heading towards town we passed the new play ground that is under construction. Looks like it will be a fun place. That's a big bumble bee with a couple of spiders (?) maybe behind him. 

Looking across the really green meadow towards Sunrise Mountain. This is the mountain we can see from the kitchen window when the dust isn't blowing. 

Another playground - different park animals etched in the concrete. 

Kids can climb on this beaver. There are supposed to be lots of beavers in the park too. Haven't seen any though. 

Also haven't seen or heard any frogs. 

And glad to say haven't run into any snakes either, except for this big one. 

Well have seen a few of these and hear them at night all the time. 

More frogs. 

Then on home. It did sprinkle a very little bit over the house. 

Saturday and Sunday I watched the NASCAR races. Well Saturday I slept though most of it and Sunday I read through most of it. Boring except for the wrecks - not very many - and the last couple of laps. Also finished this puzzle. Wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. And got a few more pieces of my stained glass cut and placed. 

This morning we had an early primary doctor's appointment clear across town. (Any thing the other side of the Strip is across town.) I was wondering why there was a beet by the Lady. Turns out it is an apple. Still looks like a beet to me. 

All was well at doctor. Both of us need a couple of more tests. Bill to see if a new iron med will work and me for my bones and the Lupus thing (which neither of us think I really have.) So will take care of that in a few months. See foot doctor this week. 

We registered all three vehicles the beginning of this month. So far have not received sticker for the Mustang. One on it expires in six days so have to go to a DMV Kiosko to get one. And they have the nerve to charge us another $5. Oh well. 

Then we had to refill all our meds. One of mine and two of Bill's have gone up $40 each for a three month supply! No substitute for two of them. So bite the bullet I guess. There is a generic for one Bill takes. They just came out with it. Well he tried it. Almost ended up in the hospital. So that was a mess to take care of. Doctor had to write a letter saying he couldn't take the generic - okay. Drug insurance, no problem. But because we had filled the generic for 90 days we couldn't refill the brand name. So had to do a work around. Had to order it as a Vacation Over Ride. Okay that went through. Then they didn't have it on hand. Will get it in a couple of days. Don't know what will happen if we do go some where for the winter as we usually get vacation over rides then for the time well be gone. Worry about it then I guess. Then I tried to refill mine on line. Website refused to let me. So had to call pharmacy - where we'd just been -to refill them. Old age has taken some a lot of my patience away.
