Sunday afternoon two coyotes decided to take a stroll near us. These pictures are taken from the porch of my downstairs neighbor. It was about 1:30 and the coyotes did not appear at all concerned about the cars going by or the walkers on the sidewalk across the street. They were in no hurry to move on and were even playing a bit. The people on the sidewalk, however, were not quite as blasé!
We do not really celebrate Easter in my household; we do celebrate the Easter Bunny, however. Here are pics of the decorations that went up yesterday:
Our other nod to the season is the put the flower pillow cases on the throw pillows:
Mom and I both got our 1st dose of the Covid vaccine yesterday. After all these weeks of watching video of long lines and hearing the horror stories about long waits, it couldn’t have been easier. So glad they finally let pharmacies start distributing them here in Nevada!
In a much earlier post I tried to explain why I never play the evil person in role-playing games. Ran across this quote that encapsulates it for me:
― Kurt Vonnegut, Mother Night
One of the perks of deciding to grow my hair out a bit is that I now look decent in hats. I’ve always enjoyed wearing hats, so I am very pleased with this. Here’s the current collection:
I especially enjoy the Fedoras as they are easy to wear in the car: the small brim at the back doesn’t interfere with the head rest.
Look! A new mask! And a lovely one it is in basic black. Suppose I should have my boots on to complete the look; maybe next time.
Yesterday I got mom out of the house for something other than a doctor’s visit. We went to see the Chinese New Year’s display at the Bellagio Hotel. All safety protocols were followed as you can see in this picture of mom with her double masking:
The wheelchair is just for travelling long distances quickly; mom is still quite mobile in general.
The display at the Conservatory is fabulous:
One: Over the weekend, someone on Nextdoor posted a picture of a cougar that they saw near the golf course here. I have assumed that since we live next to Lake Mead National Recreation Area and have herds of big horn sheep nearby that we would also have cougars, but this is the first I’ve heard of one being spotted near by. I am definitely going to be limiting my walks with Brindy to the more built-up areas!
Two: I took an on-line class to brush up on my paper flower making skills last month. You can see the results over on my “Paper Flowers” page.
This was taken yesterday morning. Brindy and I were originally over by the sign on the other side of the street; I decided to forgo the closer shot in favor of getting some distance!
I’ve put a new menu item at the top of this page: Paper Flowers. I will be posting pictures there of the flowers I make. Meanwhile, I’ve loaded it with some of my past creations.
