Week 20

Welcome back!  May is flying by and it's unreal to think I'm already looking forward to Memorial Day weekend coming up which is the unofficial start to summer.  It is actually starting to feel like summer around here when mother nature is not throwing a random storm at us for no good reason.  We'll take what we can get and just hope summer doesn't come in too hot to handle too quickly.

Until then here are the pictures from the last week:

Day 132- Monday, 5/12/25

 After temps in the 90's last week and a beautiful weekend we unexpectedly started this week with cold temps and rain--a lot more rain than you would think too!  It was nice to clear all the allergens from the air but disappointing to have bring back winter clothes.

 

 

 

Day 133- Tuesday, 5/13/25

Today was at least sunny but still a little cold.  The weather was actually perfect for puppy training class in the country.  We got to walk the olive orchards and then ended with some more structured exercises in the outdoor horse arena. Bailey and I are towards the end of this line in front of those yellow cones.

Day 134- Wednesday, 5/14/25

 

Wednesday at work I'm bulking up my protozoan cultures to make new antigen slides which means a lot of flasks to feed.  Back at home Bailey was happy to see me return and quickly settled down on my lap for an afternoon nap with her new blue rubber stick--the only kind she cannot destroy.

Day 135- Thursday, 5/15/25

This is my second health appointment this week.  The first was for a regular mammogram check and this one is for an ultrasound to check on a possible hernia.  Speaking of health, our work's May fitness challenge continues and today we were encouraged to get outside and really enjoy all the new signs of spring in nature.  That's an easy one so Bailey and I did just that on our nice long walk this evening. We're also loving the longer light hours spring brings.

  

 

 Day 136- Friday, 5/16/25

After dusty travels last week and rain earlier this week my car really needed a good wash.  Justin also vacuumed out the inside of it for me which was much appreciated.  I also appreciate all the pictures Justin takes and shares with me on a weekly basis.  They are mostly of the pets plus he also gets a few of me especial if I'm with one of those pets.

Day 137- Saturday, 5/17/25

Today after doing some weekend chores we crossed the bridge and headed into the big city for dinner and a movie.  This one kept us on the edge of our seats for sure.  We've seen most the past ones in this series so it was fun to experience a newer version especially since it's been a long while.

Day 138- Sunday, 5/18/25

    Despite it being SUPER windy out the rest of the weather conditions were nice so we braved the wind gusts and headed out for a wine pickup at the Old Sugar Mill. Later Tyler and Lupe came over for dinner where we all enjoyed one of the new wines to pair with our meal.

 

      Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you back next week.
