My word, LaDiva!! Didn’t we meet when back when?? I was bentfeather then.

Nice to see you again.

[Soaring Feather]

Well, Du and Kathy, eyes are the issue now. Warm eye packs, an ointment on the upper eye lid. Helps a little at first.

[luvie]

Hope all you get is a nice rain!

[radu]

Sounds like the Indians may have arrived in that area around this time of year - monsoon season. :-)

I hope y’all were lucky enough to get some rain this afternoon because you could use it.

You know I’m jealous, though, don’cha? LOL! Nothing like a good thunderstorm to admire.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Ms Feather...*hugs*...glad the warm packs give some relief.

Hope you have a good eye doctor on the job.

[radu]

Ok, I’m not jealous any more. LOL!

I hope no storms like this clobbered you. They aren’t any fun!

[radu]

Well pooey, feathers. Don’t know which is worse for you - - the eyes or the knees. Neither is a good thing to have out of whack. :-(

[LaDivaLoca]

((HUGS)) Dear Kathy! I miss Brian too. Thank you for keeping the Canteen doors open for our beloved Troops!

[LaDivaLoca]

((HUGS)) Dear HiJinx! Hot and toasty just the way we like it here! hahaha Have a good evening.

[LaDivaLoca]

((HUGS)) Dear Soaring Feather! Love the new name. Have a good evening.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hi Diva...I just got home from work. I see you are keeping very busy. ((HUGS))

Is it hot where you live?

[LaDivaLoca]

Just during our summer months but you get used to it. This is a fascinating and wondrous state! I experienced a “haboob,” saw in the local news a recent microburst, we have a monsoon season and we do have a winter season and it snows up north and in Tucson! Cacti have edible flowers and then some, there are pine trees in Flagstaff, rattlesnake tastes good like chicken, the views are gorgeous, and people are wonderful! Took a survival class with the famous Cody Lundin in 2009 and learned about “high desert.” So much to explore so little time.

[Kathy in Alaska]

WOW! Those haboobs look nasty. Wouldn’t want to be out in the open.

Cody Lundin...I think that’s one of the guys on the “Dual Survival” TV show.

[Kathy in Alaska]

A day late, but good morning, Meg...((HUGS))...God Bless America. She really needs His blessings.
