NOV 18, 25.. RAIN.. IN SUNNY ARIZONA?

 This afternoon, as I was out and about, I couldn't help but notice that the skies were very dark.

I said to myself .. "The skies look like Rain Skies. I think I will shoot a few photos showing that not all of our days here in Arizona are sunny."

Do you all agree that the below are "Rain Skies?"

The next photo below looks up our street. You can see the very dark skies in the background.

The below photo looks at the dark skies behind our next door neighbors home.

After snapping the above photo, I was home and went indoors.

Then suddenly I heard rain outside. Out I went and snapped the below photos of our Courtyard in front our apartment.

Our parking lot behind our apartment.

Looking out front at our truck and the street.

After the rain ended, I went out to the store. When I returned I snapped the below photo looking up our street. 

Rain? Here in sunny Arizona? You betcha!

I have got to say to Ginny .. "Thanks so very much Ginny for all of the assistance you gave me helping me to download the above photos!"

APR 1, 22 .. HOMESICK FOR ALASKA .. PART 2

To quote Robert W. Service my favorite poet ..

Now a promise made is a debt unpaid ..

In yesterday's Post, I promised you all that today I would answer the question : Are we homesick to be in Alaska?

As I showed yesterday, Springtime in Alaska can be absolutely beautiful.

Then we texted our neighbor up in Anchorage and asked her to send us a few photos of what winter around our Condo was looking like this week.

Below are the photos we received !

In the below photo, we are looking back at our bedroom window.

In light of the above photos, and in order to have our minds clear, Patti and I went out by our swimming pool at our motel here in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, to discuss whether or not we really wanted to go home to Alaska at this time.

"Can you believe it Patti? It looks like rain here in Lake Havasu City, Arizona."

And then the skies opened up and we had some real rain!

In the below photo, our swimming pool is to the left.

Amazing! Absolutely, positively Amazing.

Then the sun came out and just look at the day!

Below we are looking across at our swimmng pool.

Before reaching its final decision, Our Jury took one more look at what the area around our Condo up in Alaska looks like right now !

Our Jurys Decision : Stay put down in Arizona.

Although we are more than a little homesick for Alaska, we will do just that, stay put here. We are considering heading North To Alaska around the middle of April.

All Smiles .. Cap and Patti

FEB 23, 22 .. RAIN ?? HARD RAIN ?? IN PHOENIX, ARIZONA ??

 RAIN ?? 

HARD RAIN ?? 

IN PHOENIX, ARIZONA ??

Patti and I are here to tell you that yes, yes indeed, today we experienced our very first hard rain in Phoenix, Arizona, dating back a little over five years to late November of 2016.

Go figure huh?

And?

See for yourselves!

All of the below photos were snapped, out in front of our Motel 6, on West Bell Road.

On a nice day!

Today, a rainy day. What a difference!

On the right side of many of these photos, you can see our Chevrolet / GMC Automobile Dealer that is located directly across the street from our Motel 6. Oh My what an advantage it has been having a dealer right across the street from us. 

By the way, I got cold, (it was 52°F) and I assure all of you that I also got wet from the rain and the spray from the passing vehicles.

RAIN ?? 

HARD RAIN ?? 

IN PHOENIX, ARIZONA ??

You betcha Red Ryder !
