Week 6

Happy Tuesday and welcome back!  I was hoping last week would mean less rain but we still had at least a few days of heavy rain on and off.  Thankfully it looks like sunshine for a solid week now.  We can use a good dry out.  Otherwise it was a slow week last week at home with just some puppy prep and then a lot of project juggling at work.  The hamsters are back which always makes for busier times.

Here are last week's pictures:

Day 36- Monday, 2/5/24

The skies are still angry here and dumping even more rain but at least no more wind which is much appreciated.  Back at home while coming in through the front door after checking mail I found this very wet leaf just perfectly pasted to our entry walkway.

Day 37- Tuesday, 2/6/24

Over the weekend I order some things from Amazon to prep for our puppy who will be coming next week and it all arrived today.  We also have to prep Rusty for her arrival by getting him used to having her things around and used to eating in a more secure place where she can't bother him or steal his food.

Day 38- Wednesday, 2/7/24

Wednesday at work was a busy day but after feeding my cultures I was able to show them off to a visiting veterinary student from Colorado who is doing a wildlife externship here this month. Back at home the sun has finally started to shin and I was able to remember to put up my heart wreath in prep for Valentine's Day--only 1 more week away.

Day 39- Thursday, 2/8/24

The sunshine has been amazing lately and so much so that things are starting to come into bloom.  I was pleasantly surprised by this one bush in our backyard and I also like seeing the light come into the house and creating different shadows here and there.  Thankfully gone are the grey gloomy skies for now anyway and at least through the weekend.

Day 40- Friday, 2/9/24

On these sunny days it's nice at work when I have something in another building to pick up or drop off and can enjoy the walk outside to soak up all the goodness of the sun.  This bush back at home out front is soaking up that sun too and blooming these pretty delicate flowers. It feels like spring now.  TGIF so I can enjoy the good weather even more.

Day 41- Saturday, 2/10/24

Rusty likes slow start Saturdays and is enjoying a head-plant nap on my lab as the sun is just starting to rise.  He's not too sure about this whole puppy thing.  We have been getting him used to some changes and her stuff plus brought home even more stuff today which should be the last of it until she starts to grow out of things.  We'll just have to keep reassuring the cat and making sure he has safe places to escape to when need be. 

Day 42- Sunday, 2/11/24

Today of course was all about football especially since the 49ers are playing in the Super Bowl.  John and Tyler were super excited and cheered to the first touchdown by the Niners.  They had a great 1st half and held out to into overtime for the 2nd half but just couldn't bring home the win so it was a sad ending for us.  At least it was a good match up and not a blow out for any one team. There's always next year.

That's it! See you next week where you'll get to meet our new furry family member.
