On the Road Soon!

Thanks to you all for the nice comments about my grandgirls and their show.  I am fully aware that I write a lot about my grands but they are a huge part of my life and being a grandma is just part of who I am.  They will love looking back in the blog book and seeing the write-up and their pictures.  I sure wish I had started blogging a long time ago because many times I will refer back to the blog to see where we went or what we did at a certain time.  It sure helps the old memory banks to have something in black and white to refer to.


Sunday marked the true end of our summer “family” season as the last of the company departed.  It was a nice summer with lots of visitors but now it is time for us to rest and do some things with just us and our girl.





So we are hurrying to get things cleaned up around here and making plans for our fall trip.  I hired a cat sitter today and she seems to be wonderful.  That’s a big worry off my mind.  We emptied most of the flower pots so that’s something we don’t have to worry about while we’re gone.

Monday we took some time off to go for a walk at the Delta Ponds.  There is a new part of the trail that we had not visited yet so we took the path less traveled. 


The water level is down at this time of year but the water plants provide a wonderful habitat for ducks and other waterfowl.


We saw a heron and an egret but they were too far away to get a good picture.  I just love this time of year.  The mornings and evenings are cool and the daytime temperatures are not too hot.  Most of the wild blossoms are gone but there are still a few left to enjoy.


Probably won’t get another chance to do many walks this week as we finish up what needs to be done at home. 

This may be just a common mallard, but she was such a gentle sight and we enjoyed watching her.  Hopefully, we will get back here again after we get back from our journey.







Don’t you wish we could all be as peaceful and content as this duck?
