My crazy cats have learned to open the cabinet drawers! Then they want room to play in there so clear out the drawer contents to make themselves comfortable. Who decided to get cats??
And then............Mouse upchucked a hairball right inside my shoe!! Who decided to get cats?
Sadly.....it was me. I still enjoy them and they keep our life interesting.
We notice that the palm trees are starting to send out their blossom stalks. It won't be long before they burst into bloom and then send showers of white petals down upon us.
Everything in the park is still quiet. Lots of folks out walking or riding bikes. Still no open activities except for private happy hours. Governor Ducey is working on a plan to reopen some non-essential businesses after May 1 so we'll see how things progress. At least our grocery stores are better stocked now. We could even purchase one bottle of hand soap this week. Frys was limiting purchase to one bottle per customer.
Thanks to the idea from Kathleen Koch, we had a very successful Easter Parade last Sunday. There must have been about 40 golf carts, bike riders, and cars spreading Easter cheer.
The lovely rain we had a couple weeks ago along with our lovely sunshine has brought back the fight against weed control. Some folks on nextdoor were having a tizzy fit again but I hope they calm down and realize that weeds are a steady part of life and will soon be under control. Spraying and hand weeding will take place throughout the month of May.
We also have some wonderful energetic residents who are helping.
The family of great horned owls are also keeping us entertained. They had three young ones hatched. The babies occasionally fall from the nest and wander around the neighborhood but you can bet that Mom and Dad watch over them closely. The little devils can even manage to climb back up the tree!
Photographer caught this one on the run.
He climbed up on a patio and posed for photos.
Then climbed back up a tree!
Thank you to the photographers and neighbors (Jeanne Kinsvater) who captured these shots and sent them my way to share with you.
