Rain Forecast Tonight

I checked the National Weather Service radar site around six PM this evening. It looks like there are some echoes headed our way (red circle), but most of it is up north in Mohave County and Utah. We could use the rain, so I hope if it does rain it will do so overnight. The forecast for tonight is 30% chance of showers and 50% tomorrow with a high temperature of only 55°.

The longer range forecast is for gradual warming for the rest of February and early March. Then, after the Vernal Equinox, we should be getting warmer and warmer. There will be lots of cactus flowers on and around our little patch of the desert.

We can hardly wait to fill the spa for the spring, summer and fall season when temperatures will be warm enough to take a dip without freezing your butt off when getting out.

What’s for Dinner?

Chili Macaroni Casserole with beef frank chunks, that’s what. On Saturday, Verna made this wonderful combination of macaroni and cheese sauce, red chili with turkey and beef frank chunks. Comfort food to the max! 😀 Click on the image to enlarge.

Holy Cell Tower, Batman

We have seen cell phone transmission that have been disguised as conifers, palm trees and who knows what else, but this is the first time we have seen a church steeple (or whatever) with cell elements strewn on it. Seen on I-57 near Fullerton, CA. Click on the image to enlarge.

One Year Ago Today

Last year, February 6th was Superbowl Sunday. It was the first time we watched the big game in our new Arizona home. At that time, we had yet to acquire much furniture and we watched the Packers defeat the Steelers while sitting on folding chairs and using a picnic cooler for a table. I grilled up a couple of tenderloin steaks on the little portable charcoal grill. We ate the meal and enjoyed football afterwards. Click on the grill to see the tenderloin steak, baked potato and asparagus meal we ate that day.
