MAY 13, 26.. BEAUTIFUL TULIPS ..

Without the support of each and everyone of you who follow us on our websites, we could not continue to publish our Posts.

Today's Guest Contributor is Ginny, our great friend and associate who is living down in Southern Nevada.

Ginny wrote the below comment about the Tulip photos. 

Every year, White Chapel Cemetery, in Troy, Michigan, celebrates its Annual Tulip Festival by planting over 50,000 tulips, including new and unique blooms rarely found anywhere else in the world. These rare bulbs have been imported directly from Holland in the Netherlands. Everyone is welcome to visit the park and enjoy this year’s spectacular display.

When I was living back in Michigan, my sister and I would have a yearly date to go out to the White Chapel Cemetery in Troy, Michigan, to see their amazing rows and rows of beautiful tulips and take pictures. It was a truly special “sister date” that we so enjoyed. I no longer live in Michigan but I can still enjoy them through her pictures.

Thank You So Very Much Ginny.

MAY 10, 26.. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY ..

 

"Happy Mother’s Day to all of you who are reading our Posts. Patti and I thank you for your endless love, sacrifices, and for holding everything together. You are seen, valued, and loved!". 

A Mother’s Love.

No gift on earth is greater, No treasure held
above,
The joy that comes from knowing
A Mother’s endless love.

In spite of how it’s tested, It grows from year to year,
Providing strength and comfort…
It “gently” draws us near.

It warms and it protects us, And guides us from afar,
Shedding light upon us,
Like a bright and shining star.

And when all things are measured, Not one shall rise above, Or be compared in value,
To a Mother’s endless love!

APR 28, 26 (6 / 6).. SPRING IS HERE.. WINTER IS OVER FOR US..

This is Part 6, in our very recent series of six Posts, here on Google Blogspot. 

This will be the final Post about, at least for Patti and me, our arrival here in Anchorage, Alaska, after 5-1/2 months in sunny and warm Lake Havasu City, Arizona.

At 38°F, it is as cold to we "Desert Rats" as if it were still real winter.

In 3 days it will be May. 

Winter.. Is.. Over!

Below are photos of what it looks like today, Tuesday, the 28th of April 2026.

Periodically, I will slip into the below photos taken today, some photos that date back only 10 days to April the 18th when it was REALLY snowy.

Here we go.

Looking out at our "Green Strip" behind our Condo from our living room and outside.

April 18th above and April 28th below.

Now we will go out in front of our Condo and have a look see!

April the 18th above and April 28th below.

April 18th above and April 28th below.

Looking at our Condo (the ground level window) above on April the 18th and below today on April the 28th. In ten days the snow just evaporated!

And finally..

April the 18th above and April the 28th below.

Thanks so very much to each and everyone of you who follow and who support us so graciously.

APR 25, 26 (5 / 6) .. SPRING IS HERE.. WINTER IS LOSING ITS GRIP..

 Our good friend and trusted Ally Gullible says.. 

"Cap just go out and snap some photos and publish them!"

So today, Saturday the 25th of April, 2026 that is all, or that is just what we did, when driving home from the store this afternoon. We just snapped some photos.

No Rhyme.. No Reason..

The point. The mountains around Anchorage are very scenic.

Still on the "Chilly Side" after 5-1/2 months in Arizona

Here we go Loop de Loop around town.

Patti and I hope all of you get the idea that, just driving home from the store is very scenic!

APR 24, 26 (4 / 6) .. SPRING IS HERE.. WINTER IS LOSING ITS GRIP..

Our temperatures are now in the high 30's into the low 40's. 

But with some light rain and some snow, after being in Arizona for the past 5-1/2 months, it still "feels very cold" to Patti and me.

Looking out at our Green Strip from our Living Room.

On April the 18th..

Notice the Electrical Box is surrounded by snow.

On April the 19th, one day later, the Electrical Box is now clear of snow. 

Just look at today! Friday, April the 24th !!

In the below three photos, I will show another sequential series of photos on the same dates as the above photos. 

Look for the white, Roof Drain Gutter, along the lower left side of  each photo to compare the three days.

April the 18th.

April the 19th.

Now just look at today !! April the 24th.

Below we will look at several other photo comparisons. 

Looking out in front of our Condo.

April the 18th and 19th.

Today ! What a difference !

Looking at our bedroom window April the 18th and 19th.

How it looks today April the 24th !!

Two general views of our building on April the 18th and 19th.

There you have it !
