The Tiger Swallowtails were out in abundance last month zipping and flitting from flower to flower feeding and resting. The flower of favor was the Narrowleaf Milkweed that is native to No. Nevada.
Summer update-It’s been busy around here. We had the exterior of the house painted. It looks nice and clean and, all the divots in the back walls from getting hit by errant golf balls are fixed!
We’d also been having water pressure issues that the plumbers and water company couldn’t figure out. They decided it had to be the water pressure valve even though the bib tests said it was fine, so after two weeks of this we agreed to replace the water pressure valve. After replacing it the water pressure issues were not fixed. The plumbers left scratching their heads saying they were going to brainstorm with the boss, and come up with other diagnostics to try and pin point the problem. A few hours after they left He-Man and I were going to run up to Reno, which is a 40 minute drive, so as you do I went to the bathroom and turned on the tap to wash my hands expecting the same little dribble of water to come out that we’d been having, when low and behold the tap was back to normal and my toilet bowl filled up really fast…as it should! I mentioned it to He-Man, so he flushed the toilet in the hall bathroom, and turned on the tap and, Voila! The problems we’d been having seemed fixed! Maybe the new valve just needed to settle in a bit? Who knows. We’re thrilled it seems fixed and the plumber is happy it’s fixed as well.
We rarely use the dining room as a dining room, but I have been using the dining room table to puzzle on and we play board games on it as well, so last week I decided to make my dining room a dining, library, game room. I’ve moved bookcases and almost all my books in there and bought a new recliner to go where one bookcase used to live in the living room. I can’t wait for it to arrive. Next up, I’ll be weeding out the books and stuff in my bookcase in my “retreat”. I sold the daybed I had in my retreat and now am trying to figure out how I’m going to refurnish this room. I’m in a season of change.
I’ve been birding, but was so behind updating my Life List after FL and TX trips that I haven’t been motivated to work on any images. I’m finally caught up and have begun to process some images. I hope to return to my Friday’s Feathered Friends posts soon.
How about you, are you in a season of change as well?
more to come…
