Chilly day


A group of birders came today, and it was so cold this morning, and my electricity was out all morning. I was so frustrated! Called the electric company and they said it'd be out 3 or 4 more hours. No way could I make it that long without internet, so I packed up, ready to head back to town, without watering, when the electricity came back on. I got all happy again and it warmed up nicely. Luck of the Irish,* I guess, whatever that means.

Lots of Lucifer Hummingbird activity. I expect the feeders will stay busy except when the ocotillo blooms.

The electric company said the reason for the outage was a bird flying into the transmission line.

*Recently I had my DNA tested and found out I have more Irish in me than I had expected. All my long life I thought I was 25% Irish and 75% German. (In pre-DNA days we estimated like that.)


I'm still not going to celebrate St. Patrick's Day.  LOL
