Okay, so it's not anywhere close to chilly, but the weather IS cooler. We were able to take walks on Friday and Saturday, and twice today. Last night and this morning I actually sat out on the back porch for a little bit before the heat chased me inside. Still, it has been much more comfortable than a few weeks ago. When I was out walking this morning I passed a number of people that I don't usually see. They were the later set; the people without dogs. Dog people are early people, and today I didn't walk until around 8 a.m.
This is a picture of the golf course that is closest to us. I always stop to look for coyotes, even though I can't remember ever seeing any here. Lots of bunnies, however, so the coyotes are probably close by.
On the other side of the street is a retention pond. Yesterday a giant Blue Heron was standing in the water, fishing. I didn't have my camera with me then, and today when I did he wasn't there. But I should be able to get a photo of one soon. They winter here and are wonderful to watch.
Kent is going into Parker with me tomorrow so we can get our flu shots. I used to skip them, but not any more. A real sign of aging is when you want to get a shot.
Yesterday we had lunch at Corta Bella, http://www.cortebella.net/Social-Club~131880~14243.htm, a gated community that was built shortly after Sun City Grand. It's much smaller and has an Italian flare to it. The thing we like is their restaurant. It is upscale but affordable for lunch, with a great view. Lately it has been almost empty, which is bad for them but wonderful for us.
Since we have moved here, we don't eat out very often. Since Kent is home, he usually cooks much tastier meals than we would have in a restaurant. When we do go out, it tends to be for lunch. In fact, I can't remember the last time we ate out here for dinner.
Corta Bella has Kent's favorite restaurant, and I enjoy it, too. With great views and nice music, it is a wonderful lunch time treat.
