Awwwww................saw a CUTE family of baby quail this morning!! Adorable!!
BUT......later mom and dad were running for their lives while a black cat (wearing a collar) was chasing them across the street. So upsetting to see the tough side of nature. Hopefully the babies were well hidden while the parents risked their lives to protect them.

We had some interesting (almost scary) weather this week when a storm passed by Casa Grande. The sky looked very ominous!

Never saw a rainbow on such a greenish black sky with lots of rolling thunder and lightning. Tried to get a video for you.
We were lucky that the brunt of the storm bypassed Casa Grande as it really knocked out power to Eloy and Arizona City which are just south of us. They are STILL without power!
Our power flickered for a few brief seconds but luckily stayed on. When you return to your home here, you'll have to reset all the clocks! We've found no problems of any other kind. Refrigerators and AC units all stayed on.

I had a fun drive up to the card room yesterday. It has been HOT outside so birds are suffering and trying to cool off too. I spotted this roadrunner taking a bath in the little creek by the 4-way stop. He was all wet and fluffed up. Then just a few feet further I spotted a great blue heron doing the same over by the lake. Being a bird watcher, I can't help but take photos even if they aren't the best quality.
We drove past the pickleball courts this morning and are amazed that people still play in this heat! It was already 92 with 40% humidity this morning. UGH! Don and I were exhausted after just doing a few housechecks....these folks must be quite fit to endure the heat.
A welcomed break and cool down period.
The food court area is still under construction.
I think Mouse might be cooler by sleeping upside down?
He loves to keep me company while I work at the computer. 😃
