Our town is celebrating the victory of Mexico over the French. Lots of food and entertainment in town. We will have some fajitas this Monday to celebrate in our own little way.
Terrible storms, fires and earthquakes across the country. We have had our own battles with duststorms. Luckily, the only damage from the dust is a layer of dirt all over. Easy to clean up our mess compared to all those poor people who have suffered tornados.
Picked up some books at the library, and they are interesting. Native American Mysteries by Margaret Coel, historical fiction. These warm sunny days are great for sittin and readin! We have a pair of Bullocks Orioles nesting in our Desert Willow Tree. The male sits on our front fence and just looks at us. They are so pretty, just brilliant in color.

They look similar to the Balimore Oriole, except the Baltimore has a darker head. They arrived on Friday. When I lived in Appleton they would arrive May 15, until they build a large sr appt to the SW of where I lived with tall yard lights they lit up the enitre block at night - then the birds left the tall trees they lived in accross the way - green area behind a nursing home. Now, they come up earlier. I got the oriole feeder up last night and today the bright orange birds were drinking from it.
When I was in Appleton they would sit on the bird feed rack and talk like they were wondering where the food was. Once I had the food up they didn't have the converstion - so I'm sure the same birds come back to the area were they were fed the prior year.
