Again not much going on around here

 So today..We have had appointments for lab work for several months. I had made them for EARLY in the morning - at 7:30/. Got there and checked in and looked down at my empty hands and purse. NO PAPERWORK...Nuts I'd left it all sitting on my desk. And our doctor had not sent the request to the lab. Of course. So back in the car and a quick trip home, pick up paperwork and back to lab. Luckily they were nice about it and took us right in. Even with the extra trip we were out of there and at a restaurant by 8:45. Bill asked me if I wanted some of his Prevagen. I couldn't think of a smart-alecky reply. So now home and will do some catching up here.  

Still working on my rainbow quilt. Have the quilting done now and all the pins taken off. Have the hand work on the binding still to do. 

All the flowers and plants around the house are loving the weather and blooming like crazy. Especially the ocotillo. Our nicely painted window box in the background. 

Everything in the side yard, by the front door, is getting big and colorful. 

The jasmine out back is full of flowers. Smells so good. 

I didn't know oleanders could have two different colors on the same bush. 

This is one bush. 

And the Wetlands are so green now. Lots of trees starting to bloom. I like this little flower only about an inch and a half big. 

No idea what this bird is but there are a lot of them out there. They are always singing. 

Most of the water fowl is gone, none in the river any more. Not sure why he is still around haven't seen his mate in months. 

A little snow still on the mountains, last week end was the last winter sports day. By next week we are supposed to have several days of mid 90's/ So imagine it will all be gone soon. 

There are so many shades of green. 

A couple of the different ponds out in the Wetlands. They all have higher water than earlier in the year. 

Got in a couple of three mile days last week and one so far this week. Hope to get out tomorrow but early. After 8:30 the sun is just too hot for me to walk.  

Bill went to eye doctor last week and he read a few more of the letters on the eye chart than the previous appointment. And he doesn't have to go back for 10 weeks. Good.

We also finally got everything straightened up with the insurance company and the DMV. The insurance company had sent in the wrong information. So every thing with all the vehicles is done for another year. 

Today it will not be real hot - low 80's but the winds are bad again. Gusts up around 40, poor plants are losing their flowers. And that's about it for now.
