Here Today, Gone Tomorrow

Craig was here for the weekend -- at least most of it. As he said, he came home to fix stuff! He fixed the garbage disposal, the umbrella by the pool, the flat tire on my bike, and helped me move some furniture. We did find time for an evening bike ride. Saturday's sunset looked very promising for a monsoon storm, but you can guess the outcome! Zippo!

Speaking of the monsoon being a no-show this year, I read India's having much the same problem with below normal monsoon rainfall resulting in poor crop production. I guess the weather is freaky all over the globe. I'm seeing lightning off in the west tonight, but I'm not betting on rain! We need a rain dance!

Craig was off to the airport Sunday afternoon. Can't wait till he's back home Thursday night so he can fix more stuff!

Friday Night Lights

Ahhhhh. Another Friday night! With the end of a beastly work week, we were both looking forward to some R&R. After a quick dinner at our favorite Mexican restaurant, we came back and hopped on our bikes. I wanted to try a couple of sunset shots with the new camera.

On our way over to the canal, we passed the fountain pool up at the front of the neighborhood.

We arrived at the canal path just in time for me to capture a couple of photos. Phoenix has beautiful sunsets! And the Friday night sunset was fairly spectacular!

Back home, I decided to take a dip in the pool. With the current heat wave, the pool temp must be up around 90 degrees. I think the temps are supposed to be 105 this weekend, so I'm looking forward to some more pool time after the chores are done!

After our swim, we popped Last Chance Harvey into the DVD player. The movie was much better than I expected, and I loved this song from the soundtrack! Where Do We Go, by Sandrine.

Goin' Down in a Blaze of Glory!

The sun was setting as we pulled back into the Phoenix area on Monday evening from our long road trip. I managed to get some pretty decent photos from the speeding bullet train. (Actually, there's no place to pull off and take photos on that road without risking 'bug on windshield' syndrome, so please excuse the bugs on windshield!)

This one looks like a watercolor!

Red Mountain!

Lots of cars headed out on the Beeline!

And a couple of sunset snaps in New Mexico.

Keep on truckin'!
