Monday in Tucson

First of all welcome to Arizona 
where we do not buy into this hour forward/back garbage.
Arizona and Hawaii never change their time. 
Life is good !

 Friday afternoon the gray clouds rolled in. Nice soft rain in the evening till morning.
Sunday morning this is how the day started.

 It will rain this weekend so till then sun, blue skies and white clouds.

 So hard to tickle and take photos.
I love this last one because for me it shows iwinstons is a happy gud dug.

......
As always here is your pretty to start the week.

Right now all my (too many) Succulents and cactus are kinda' smooched 
into a corner till I finish cleaning up my studio.

 I love moss and am always trying to have some planted in pots.
I never seem to be able to keep it alive.



.
I wish I could have moss but even in the house moss is not a desert plant.

cheers,  parsnip

quick note
I may not be able to visit all my lovely blog friends for some time.
I will be off and on for awhile.
Seems my arthritis and fibromyalgia are in a battle for ownership of what is left of my body.
They both feed off of each other.
Insurance has OK therapy in the use of my hips and knees. 
I will also be in range of motion for my neck and back. I never turn my head I have to turn my shoulders.  Even that is is getting hard .
In fact... I walk and move like a zombie from The Walking Dead !
Yea Me !
Some days I will be gone, tired or whatever but alway there will be a Square Dog Friday.
Even if I have to post it on a Saturday. It is in the Square Dog Contract.
I despise arbitration, I always loose.
Yea me !

  1. Poor dear Gayle - I feel for you. My youngestgrandson has fybromyalgia and it is not pleasant. I have severe arthritis and that is not pleasant either - and you have both, so double unpleasant.
    Thank goodness for Mandibles - I am sure he keeps you smiling - at least some of the time.
    Love to you

  2. I'm sorry you are in such pain. I understand where you are coming from. I have bad arthritis in both knees, and am now able to walk almost as fast as a tree. I'm scheduled for total knee replacement of one knee in the near future. Very nervous about that.

    Your little Winston Mandibles always makes me smile with his funny antics. I'm glad you show them to us.

    1. Be careful with you knee replacement. Do all the after work and know once you have it done the veins will never be the same. When I use to fly all the time I always wear support stockings to help the veins act like they should. Your leg will swell up.
      So happy you like mandibles. He love everyone and would love playing with you gud dugs.

  5. Hi, Gayle!

    I enjoy seeing the pictures of Winston when he is standing at attention on high alert, those times when he spots a kattie, a peccary, a lizzerd (correct gud dug spelling) a ball, a squeak toy, a soda can or a cardboard box moving in on his turf.

    I think containerized cacti look good clustered close together like you have them. Those puffy white clouds that rolled in over the mountains are spectacular. I hope you get more rain. We finally got a little over here in Florida where it was badly needed.

    Gayle, I am so sorry that you are ailing. I will be thinking about you whenever you need to take rest breaks and hoping that your condition eases up soon.

    Have a good week, dear friend!

  7. Oh, Gayle...I hate hearing that you're not feeling well! I wish I lived nearby and could help you out. I'm glad you have insurance for therapy...use it to the max! And please check in when you feel up to it. 💕

    I like your cactus and succulents a lot. And Winston is such a sweetie! Please give that boy a kiss for me!

  10. Hope the therapy helps. It is always worth a try. I'd say Winston counts in the PT department. ;)

  11. I am sorry that you're hurting and that you have to go through this. Not fun. At all. Also, I don't like the time change. I don't think we need it anymore.

  12. I wish--yawn--Ohio would get rid of the time change.

    2. Actually, Indiana has changed - I just looked it up to confirm. Since 2006, the entire state uses DST.

    3. When I can I will post a funny story about how the people almost lynched the Arizona Senate over the time change. I was a young then, so awful and funny at the same time.
