Some soothing pictures and days

 Trying to write a little more often. We have been having one beautiful sunrise after another the last week or so. I looked out this morning and there was an okay one, not worth going out in the 39 degree weather to take a picture. 

Yep our weather has taken a big change. Going down to near freezing at night. So cool in the morning we now go out at 9:00 to walk when it gets into the low fifties. I still wear shorts and a t-shirt and a light jacket, which I take off about 20 minutes into the walk. Yesterday we walked 3 miles. Of course with a lot of stopping and looking at things. My friends I walk with.  Guess I'm the only hot broad among us. 

We stopped at the Nature Center Museum and there was a new art display  Some really neat items there. This one I took a picture of because every thing on it was hand embroidered. Lots and lots of work on it. 
Back outside, just like the look of the water and trees. So nice to be outside in nature. 
On Tuesday afternoon we had another semi emergency with Bill. Ended up at an Urgent Care near us. He had a nose bleed that just didn't want to stop. Got good care there, but they were talking emergency room before it finally stopped bleeding. So came home with ointment, q tips, nose plugs and instructions. One of which was get a humidifier for the house, Two will arrive today. We keep it pretty warm in here and the weather is naturally dry. Also he takes aspirin. So far so good, hope that is over with. 
More nature pictures. Elegant birds...Very seldom catch them together in one photo. 
The ducks are so colorful. 
Mama and two babies paddling around. 
A break from nature. Sorry about all the pictures of the Sphere, but it just fascinates me. I take these all from on line posts. I love this one. Scary looking chicken. 
Perplexed green owl? Said on the news it has lost about a half a million dollars since being built/ open. Saw today on the news they are now running advertisements on it. Ugh. 
It is Formula 1 time again, so traffic on the Strip is all screwed up. The roads making up the track are open for a while, then closed for a while. Will be that way until Sunday night I guess. Glad I don't have to go anywhere near there. 
So back to nature. A couple of turtles taking a sun bath. They were hard to see. 
Road runner watching something he was interested in. Maybe a bug or lizard. 
Little bitty fish swimming near the plants. They are about 3 inches long. 
I'm still sewing trying to use up material. Made a smaller 15 x 15 pillow cover. Kind of cute. 
And am working on the third Christmas 18 x 18 pillow cover. This is a work in progress, not sure how to set it up yet. Playing around with different ideas. 
Mama duck again. 
Just something we saw out in the middle of nowhere while we walked towards a different area. A big empty pipe or well now full of trash and graffiti.
We went to see Bill's cardiologist early Monday morning. He isn't too concerned about the hospital reports. He feels the slow heart beat is due to one of Bill's medications so the doc  changed the does to half of what he was taking. Then added a new blood pressure pill that is supposed to strengthen the heart. He also suggested Bill only take the water pill if he experiences swelling in this legs or hands. He also set up appointments for a heart monitor and another echocardiogram. Then of course another visit. I managed to drive there (23 miles each way) without problems or getting lost. Then that afternoon we had an eye shot appointment. We took UBER for that as it was late in afternoon, in Henderson and would be dark when we got out. Still waiting to see doctor for eyelid, Dec 10th for that one. He is starting to get crabby about doctor appointments. Can't say as I blame him. So far he has been feeling pretty good, except closed eye is driving him nuts. 
I started a new diamond painting of three crazy looking girl chickens standing in a field of flowers. Should be fun.
That's it for now.

  2. You are lucky to live where you can go for a walk and see all the interesting things. I love that sphere as well. Too bad it will become just another billboard.
