Chilly Nights and Chilly Mornings

The title says it all – cool night and mornings! I’m grateful that the days are warming up to a pleasant 50-60 degrees Fahrenheit, making it perfect for light work activities outdoors in the afternoons. Well, I suppose it could be useful for heavy work too, but I try to avoid that heavy work in my elderly years!

Pictures : Here is a shot from around Flagstaff, Arizona of the Sam-Franciso-Mountains. Here is a Wikipedia link about the mountain.

Hope everyone’s week is just going the best.

Seasonal Click

Do you have a seasonal click happen in your brain? It seems like I do, well at least in my mind. My mind’s seasonal click has absolutely nothing to do with the dated seasons, and maybe not even the weather, but my mind’s thoughts on the weather. LOL.

So, here we are with a chilly spell (for this area, it’s a chilly spell), and my brain says, ‘Winter’s here!’ I’ve been loving the last few weeks that felt like fall to me. It was the perfect temperature to be outside doing small chores. It was around 75 degrees Fahrenheit, give or take a bit. Also I’ve been feeling a bit better lately since I had the second stent put in. I’m a bit more energetic. It was so nice to be out last week and feeling good too!

On a brighter note, we had a nice rain last night, which the area desperately needed. It’s always a joy to see the skies open up here, even if it brings a bit of chilly weather along with it. However, there’s a slight downside: with the cooler temperatures, I won’t be as thrilled about spending time outdoors. And to top it off, we’ve got a bit of a wind blowing, which makes it even less enjoyable.

Pictures : Well, check out this photo I took from 2019 at Blue Water State Park in New Mexico. It looks like it was a lovely, warm evening with a beautiful sunset.

Warms me up just looking at it, 😊.

Folks, I do hope you are having a nice day wherever you are.

Sunset

Hope everyone’s upcoming weekend is great.

Song Sparrow

Pictures : I took this shot of the Song Sparrow back in 2015 and it looks like I was still shooting with my old Canon 20D, I got a lot of mileage out of that camera.

Health : Yesterday I went to the hospital and had my second stent put into the old clogged up veins. It went very well.

Folks, have a wonderful day.

American Goldfinch

Pictures : Here is a shot of the American Goldfinch. I see lots of the lesser Gold Finch around here but none of the bright yellow American Gold Finch.
