Now this is really weird

Jimmy, who works here, and his wife, Lily, took a stroll on the ranch trail and found this hanging in the tree. We think the racoons made a meal of this very large crayfish.




New Addition

The new addition is coming right along. Here's how it looks from the upper back yard.


Vivian

Vivian came over yesterday (Friday) to make Mom lunch while I was in La Jolla for another ! doctor's appointment. As I was running out, I asked her if she could do me a favor and refill the hummingbird feeders. Mistake! She was on the step stool with one of the filled feeders in her hand when her foot slipped and she fell forward onto the cement. No one was around, so she dragged herself into the kitchen, got her cell phone and called me (but my phone was off because I was in the doctor's office), then she called Mom. Long story short, the people who were working at the office came over and called 911. Turns out Vivian's leg is broken in two places and she has to have surgery on Monday. I am soooooo sorry!

Bud climbs a tree

What goes up must somehow find its way down ...



Mom

This has been a bad week for us. Mom had to go to Urgent Care 3 times--on Friday, Sunday, and the next Friday. A temperature of 102 prompted the last visit to Urgent Care where they discovered she had pneumonia, a scary proposition for someone her age (91). She was admitted to the hospital but today she is coming home. Yea!

Just when we thought it was safe...


A rattlesnake! 


Movie Tuesday

Begin Again, music, romance, laughs...what else can you ask for? Oh, yeah, Mark Rufulo at his tenderest--even with a week's beard growth. And for the guys, Keira Knightley...cute, perky, English. We enjoyed the movie and the music. Go see it.
