Daddy driving, Mother up front and three girls in the back unless someone had to move up front because they felt carsick. Our drives in SW Virginia were often curvy mountain roads. I've always wanted to visit Taos, sounds like I need to figure a non-touristy time.

That's what I've been doing, and I've been enjoying myself immeasurably. First though, I make sure the birds have fresh oranges and plenty of water. Denis also turns on the pool aerator and waterfall, and the hummingbirds can't get enough. Today I thought I was going to have a hummer perching on my book. Why not? A dragonfly did the other day!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774383554326288663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-57738012235741594092017-06-21T01:22:08.130-07:002017-06-21T01:22:08.130-07:00Very nice photos.

Hopefully, you can do that soon.<br /><br />Am wondering how you are surviving the heat. Saw on the news that it hit 120-degrees in Phoenix and people seem to be dropping like flies.<br /><br />Are you in your pool reading and drinking a lot of fluids and watching the birds?<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
