Windy in the Valley

 81º with partly cloudy skies, wind at 10 mph with gusts to 18 mph at 11:30 am Saturday.

    December Yard Sale started yesterday (Saturday)



    
                    Friday was successful in getting rid of some stuff.  Today set the rest of it out.



    
                    Both days, when things were slow, Phyllis was at her sewing machine piecing scraps she got in Mississippi in November.



Almost noon now, and not much traffic.  Wind is blowing all light stuff around.




    
            Yesterday I washed a throw-rug out and then washed the pickup.




    
        After dark last night I rode my recumbent trike around the park and got pictures of some of the places that are decorated.










Tuesday, after Barbershop Chorus practice, we went to Stefano's Brooklyn Pizza.  They are temporarily in their old, old location in back of a gas station where they started out, while they are rebuilding their building that was destroyed by fire last December.  Caught this sun setting photo while driving on Business 83.

Windy day in the Valley

 79º with mostly sunny skies and lots of wind at 11:00 am Tuesday here in La Feria, TX.


10-day forecast shows reasonable temperatures with little rain.





Below are pictures of things Phyllis made from material provided by sister-in-law Lin and sent to her in Florida.









Put a small tree in kitchen window by dining table on east window.


And, with some effort, got a lighted Santa in sleigh pulled by one reindeer in east window of living room.

December is here in the Rio Grande Valley-- getting Christmas Decorations up

 74º with heavy overcast and some fog at 10:30 am Saturday here in La Feria, TX   Slept a couple nights earlier in the week with bedroom windows open and fan bringing in air.  Then we switched to running the heater--with all windows closed.  Changeable weather.



This photo is for Harold -- his old golf cart is duded up at Mike Banken's!




Phyllis was one of only a few 
that attended a craft class at
the Rec Hall, making Christmas
Wreaths.


The "Care & Share" group -- the quilters -- had their first session Thursday.






Bobi Raab was wondering how the Lemon Tree she planted a few years ago was doing.  Took this photo and sent it to her.





Phyllis has been busy setting out
all the little trinkets for Christmas
inside the house.
