May 22nd - 153 days until we will be in our Kenwood home

Small stained glass made with walnut shell frame.
Open window indicates the nice temperatures right now

89º with a feel-like of 97º at our place in La Feria, TX.  Here in Clarinda it is 86º at 3:30 pm Tuesday with a feel-like of 86º.  Had a little shower over the noon hour and is partly cloudy now.

Phyllis planted flowers around the tomatoes

Flowers by the arch behind the garage

Don't remember the name of these
flowers, but Phyllis has had them, or ones
like them about every year.

Finally got the stained glass church window up in our front-room picture window.  Phyllis had gotten it from the old church building (built in 1882-83) a few weeks ago and cleaned and painted the wooden frame.  Hung it by chain from hooks in the ceiling.
Anxious to see how it looks at night with the lights from inside.
Believe Phyllis' sister had had a stained glass window of some type hanging in this window for some years -- she now has that hanging in her bedroom window in Colorado.

Window on the right --- before we removed it from the church.

While riding on the recumbent trike this morning I took this photo of the back side of the new Boulders Inn & Suites that is immediately south of the Fareway Grocery store just a long block east of us.
