Warmer

The days are getting warmer and the nights are still nice and cool. By warmer I am meaning in the mid 80's and lows in the mid 50's. The last couple days were quite windy but today it has toned down somewhat. CarlAnn is in her cage on the porch twiddling away and enjoying the nice weather like the rest of us.

Easter came and went almost like the last 4 years. The exception being church was on-line. We have been going to church each Sunday and not leaving the house. Lola loves curling up to Mark during the service and I relax in my recliner. Easter Sunday Lola was antsy in church. She had to go potty and was having a tough time waiting. But all worked out fine.

The online grocery ordering is taking a  day or two longer to go and pick up our order. Today I ordered and won't be able to pick it up until Saturday.  With cooking every day and not eating out we go through more food. And I have to admit I'm really getting tired of all the cooking. Twice we did order out, but it's not as much fun as eating OUT of the house. And all the containers need to be sanitized and the food heated up once we get it home. Eating out costs more so I guess we are saving money in the long run. But our waistlines and backsides are growing. 😫 It's nice enough so we could be out walking, but have gotten lazy.

Since we are so happy with our last purchase of sunshades, we decided to do the bedroom windows as well. They really keep the rooms cooler and protect the windows from the harsh heat of the Arizona sun. Tomorrow they will come and measure and give us an estimate. Still much cheaper than replacing windows. All the while practicing social distancing.  That is one thing we are adamant about.

The screening is a dark gray to match the trim on the house and the frame is white again to match. Some time, down the road we would like to make all the porch screening to match.
