A BIG DAY

Today we went to the Toyota dealer in Napa and bought a 2007 Prius. Al had driven one before and was sold on it. Today I got to drive the one we ended up buying. I still don't have my digital camera fixed so can't put up a photo. It's Toyota's shade of pine green. It drives well and hopefully we'll save a lot on gas.

While in Napa we went to Home Depot again, a regular stop these days, WalMart and a grocery store. All of them here have "preferred cards" to get their sale prices. It's kind of a pain. Nothing got done at the house except Al is stripping the limbs off a cedar tree he cut down yesterday. It was too close to the house. There's a couple others will will also go in time.

We're seeing many new birds here in our yard. The most common are crows, acorn woodpeckers, plain titmouse, scrub jay and western bluebird. It was another very hot day but it's supposed to cool down again over the weekend.

Well, it's time to go for our evening walk now that it's starting to cool down.
