Welcome back and happy Tuesday. Of course it's still mostly about puppy goodness around here. Thankfully this coming week will be all sunny and warm which helps us be able to take her outside and burn energy off. Last week we weren't as lucky in that way. We also got some sad but expected news so we're ready for this newer brighter week ahead.
Here are last week's pictures:
Day 99- Monday, 4/8/24
This was a fun way to start the week even if we didn't get to see the full eclipse in our area. It was still cool to see the partial and follow how it changed over time. The middle picture was my view through the glasses I had and later it was fun to watch the news and see how those in the full eclipse locations experienced it with the darkness and all. Not much darkness where we were--no more than on a cloudy day but with no clouds.
Usually I work from home on Tuesdays but I had in-lab work that had to get done today. At least the drive with the sunrise and Tule (low lying) fog was pretty. Coming home I was impressed at how quickly all our plants out front came into bloom all at once. It sure looks like spring but we're expecting another a cold front moving in so it won't be pleasant out for much longer.
Day 101- Wednesday, 4/10/24
Wednesday at work we were using the microscope to count Babesia parasites in red blood cells on smears we made and stained yesterday. After that I was happy to get out on this beautiful day and during my walk to another building I found this cute duck pair enjoying the grass in the shade. Back at home we settled down for the evening to watch Survivor together.
Day 102- Thursday, 4/11/24
Me trying to keep this girl busy. When she gets bored she looks for trouble and become destructive. Thankfully she was happy to help me break down boxes in the garage and then after that it was still nice enough to play in the yard. Unfortunately the wind is picking up and blowing in a storm so it will be a cold and wet for the next couple days.
TGIF! Yesterday I was able to sneak out for haircut and color refresh. The stylist blew my hair out which is something I never do anymore so I wore it that way today. Also notice that I have a fall sweater back on because it's super cold out there. No rain yet but nasty, cold wind and lots of clouds. Rusty took advantage of my body warmth when I got home. Sadly, today, we also got the news that John's dad, Richard, passed away. He's not been well for awhile so we knew it was coming but that doesn't make it any easier. I found these old pictures of him with John and the boys at their place in Oregon. Rest in peace Richard Packham (9/21/1933 - 4/12/2024).
Day 104- Saturday, 4/13/24
It POURED rain ALL day and was another super cold one. My heater has been working overtime. Bailey is itching to go back outside because she hasn't been able to for a couple days now but at least she has a few new toys to help keep her busy. She love this football that Tyler gave John for his birthday. Later we watched this great true story movie that I've been wanting to see but waiting for the streaming price to drop. It still wasn't free but at least low enough and didn't disappoint.
Rusty likes to enjoy morning coffee with me in seclusion away from the puppy. This his time to have me to himself and I'm good with that. Yay for no more rain and some nice sunshine. Once it dried out in the afternoon I was able to let Bailey enjoy the yard again. Later Tyler was over for Sunday dinner and finally Bailey has completely warmed up to him so now I've been able to get a picture of each of our boys holding her. She's getting so big and currently working on the command "down" as well as leash training.
That's all. Hope to see you back next week.
So sorry about the passing of John's father!!
