A Better Day

Fortunately, we both got a good night's sleep last night and woke up feeling a whole lot better today. We went into the Safeway store in Fountain Hills to pick up some badly needed groceries late this morning, then stopped in the office to pick up the box of mail Daughter MM sent last week.

We now have another visitor at the hummingbird feeder. Last evening, Forry saw something bigger flying by. It turned out to be a female Gila Woodpecker. She curled around the little feeder cup and was having herself a snack. I'll have to try and see if I can catch her in the act for a picture.

The rain has finally cleared off and we have had lovely blue skies today. It's still not real warm, but it did get into the high seventies. Forry took my camera last evening and got a picture of the sunset with what was left of the rain clouds --

Here are the same hills tonight without the clouds --

Watching all of the snow and storms on TV makes me very thankful we are a long way from it. I just hope everyone traveling for Thanksgiving will have a safe trip.
