Yesterday at this hour, the temperature was around 60 degrees and I was stuck at work. Today it is over 80...and I am home!

85 degrees is perfect

In the pool...trying not to get the camera wet. Note that one of our neighbors had the tree in the upper corner of our backyard trimmed today because it was obstructing their view

It's time to remove the covers from our patio furniture and put out the cushions

Proof I am in the water. Pool season has officially begun!

Even though I ran here yesterday, Valerie insists we check out Fiesta Hermosa

Sand castle Las Vegas

I'd be impressed if this wasn't associated with advertising trips to Vegas

This is the reason I did not look forward to being here...it is just way too crowded

And this is the reason I did not mind coming

It took so long for my order that Valerie started worrying that I ate the whole thing by myself

An unexpected visitor hops into our backyard as soon as we return home

Apparently this peacock was in our neighbor's backyard before crossing ours

When the bird sees that we are not hosting a BBQ, it decides to fly off into the sunset
