Nothing much going on here...

It was a quiet weekend.  We had breakfast with our son and his two children (the 6 year old and the 4 month old).  This was after the 6 year old's T-ball game.  Then, we had dinner with our daughter, son-in-law, and the 2 year old.  Drove home and fell asleep right away!   :-)

Yesterday, I stayed in my pajamas all day.  I was exhausted.  I really DO need one day of complete "down" time, I'm finding out.  Working 5 days, doing chores and errands 1 day, and then 1 day of peace & quiet is my new routine.

I do like to sit at my laptop and watch the birds out in the front yard.  I have 2 or 3 hummingbirds who now come to the feeders, doves, finches, and sparrows.  I hear mockingbirds down the street and one will occasionally land on the fence.  I haven't seen the grosbeaks yet, but it is still early for them.  And, I tend to my flowers out front.  I have daisies, California poppies, sunflowers, and some lavender.  There is a blue flower that the hummingbirds enjoy, also, but I haven't identified it yet.

So, no....I didn't get up to the horses this weekend.  Just too darn tired and worn out.  And, it's a long haul until the 3 day Memorial weekend.

 My old cat, Loki.  I believe he is now 18 years old. He outlived two of our German Shepherds.

 Cosmos out front...

Nice mixture.

Believe it or not, I actually use recycled bath (shower) water on my plants.  California is in the middle of a very extensive drought, so I don't waste water!  We don't have a lawn on the fence side of the front yard, we have rocks out in front of the fence, and we haven't had a lawn in the front yard for about 10 years, ever since the trees got big enough to choke off sunlight for a lawn.  We don't use sprinklers on any of it, either.  I hand water everything, and, like I said above, I use a bucketful of our shower water on the plants.
