This is the fence that isolates our shooting range from Constellation road. It is typical of many fences in our desert community. Rustic posts and barbed wire keep the large critters out, but small things can come in although the gunfire tends to keep them at bay. Click on the image to enlarge.
We had a rather large dinner this afternoon. As has become tradition, we walk the dinner off by taking the dogs for a walk. Verna took this picture of me carrying Cabela, since the little dog was pulling on the leash so hard she almost knocked me down. I don’t mind carrying her and neither does she until she sees something she wants to take a close look (or sniff). Click on the image to enlarge.
Sometimes when the Mama washes towels, I get to snuggle under them until it’s time for her to fold them and put them away. I like snuggling under warm towels. Click on the image to enlarge.
Sometimes the Daddy hangs out with Bay Bay and me on the loveseat. Click on the image to enlarge.
The mesquite tree next to the bird feeders often fills up with finches; both gold finches and house finches. They look like little tree ornaments to me. Click on the image to enlarge.
I apologize for posting this out-of-focus picture of a dead scorpion on the RV drive, but the lighting conditions weren’t too good to avoid a slight camera motion that blurred the image. At any rate, I just wanted to show how these little beasties show up if you put ultraviolet light (a.k.a. black light) on them.

A while back, we bought little hand held flash lights with UV LEDs just for the purpose of detecting scorpions. Cabela found this one on the patio (thank goodness it was already dead) and I found a couple in the garage the other night using the UV flashlight.
