HOPING TO GET BACK IN THE BLOGGING MOOD

 So far, other than a few posts on Instagram and a few on FB I haven't found the motivation to post anything.  It's like I try to think of something to say and it just isn't there.   Anyway - May is here and we had a few weeks of beautiful weather from our extreme winter weather and now rain is coming and snow at higher elevation.  

There are several things coming up in the near future I'm looking forward to.  First is a special day at SkyPark, Santa's Village for residents to get in free.  This is a big deal to me because usually for adults its' $50 for admission and other than being a beautiful place there's' not a lot to do.  

Next after that there will be the county fair in our area which isn't a big deal compared to LA County Fair which I also want to go to this year.  Then Lake Arrowhead Village starts their summer concerts which is usually tribute bands of famous bands. Then in my favorite area, Redlands, they have the Redlands Bowl which is an outdoor venue, free of charge, for more tribute bands or classical music, etc. 

I'll be visiting Oak Glen where I can stop and try to interact with  the Llamas who have such a superior attitude towards people and then there is the sweet horses I can't pass by without saying hello to them.

LA county fair - how I've missed you....(we haven't been since the pandemic closed everything). 

Sweet Horses along Thompson Creek Trail.

And that's about all I can come up with to talk about except for the fact

The grosbeaks are back with their attitude.\

The squirrels are busy stealing whatever seen they can find.

I saw my first swallowtail of the season hanging around the wild lilac trees that is finally blooming.

The frog made it through winter and did fall off the tree again but I put him back.

We did get to see some wildflowers blooming about two days before the blizzard buried the mountains here and caused rock slides and areas where the sides of the hwys were in threat of falling which then entailed many road closures along with our main grocery store whose roof collapsed.  There was a state of emergency called in California in many areas both southern, central and I think Northern - record snowfall in so many places and lots of flooding with the rains.

And soon the Spanish Broom along the highway will be so pretty to look at again.

I guess I did have something to say.  Hope u all who might stop by are doing well.  I hope to get back to spending time in blog land.
