So the weather man (notice I said MAN) claims
we would have thunderstorms today...
we would have thunderstorms today...
guess what? NOTHING!
Not one single drop where I live. He did nail the high temp though...
110ºF
Yep you read that correct! So what did I see outside...
Nothing but BLUE SKIES!!!
So this brings me to my next topic...
Daughter was invited to a birthday party today,
so after dropping her off I snagged a few photo's
of the house, the garage, and the spare house.
Who lives like this??? WOW!
Down here in the desert, I can't even imagine the electric bill.
Let alone maintenance and upkeep!
This would be the um, 6 car garage. Need more room,
ya they can handle you on the back 40.
Then what? On the way home I decided to take
a pic of the corn. It's unfortunate that these corn fields are slowly
going by the way side. I'm completely bummed I never
got a pic with my bug (Willard).
After pulling into our place, I notice how pretty the entrance is and
grabbed a few more photo's.
So the Pacific Northwest (Washington State) might have
Lilac's & Rhododendron's
but we in the desert have Bouganvilla!!!
And they are GORGEOUS!!!
And don't forget PALM TREE'S!
If there's 2 things I love...it's Coffee & Palm Tree's!
Life is Good!

There are a lot of houses similar to that around here. This is a tourist area, and the saddest part of all is that many like that are lived in for maybe, at the top, 4 months of the year. There is one around the corner from me that I'd estimate valued at #350,000, at least. It was just completed right after I moved in 3 years ago, and I don't think the Texas plates have been at the car more than 1 month each year. I really don't get it. I 'spose if I had that kind of money, I'd have no better way to spend my money, either. Oh, well!
BTW, I meant to say ....
One of the beautiful things about living in the area you and I do is those skies! I never get tired of looking up and seeing the endless blue!
Wow what a huge house!!! I would hate to see the electric bill and the upkeep has to be $$$. Oh and I forgot...you have to have a car for every garage so that means more $$. BUT it was beautiful!!
I love Bouganvilla. I have tried to grow it when we had our house but it just wouldn't grow for me. Your flowers are so pretty!!
Take care!
