been bird watching in the cool Pines

Just spent another few days at our new little "abode" in Show Low.
We're enjoying the antics of all the different birds that we've attracted to our bird feeders!
We needed the airconditioning on for about 2 hours in the afternoon on 2 of the days.
On Friday nite we went to the community building for our 32 units in the over 55 RV section of our park -- to play Mexican train Domino's -- We had been invited on several occasions but this was the first we were able to get there -- we enjoyed it and it was a good opportunity to get to know a few others in our park.
The next morning (Saturday) - we met again there for Coffee and do-nuts - - and met a few more people.
The picture above is of two of our "hairy Woodpeckers" -- these are both Males we believe, since they have red on their heads. The female is really quite pretty, even tho' she doesn't have any red on her. :) I did get a picture of her also -- but 2 birds are enough!
It was very nice to be outside most of the time -- and tend to some flowers I've planted and take a walk etc. -- -
Now we have come back to Mesa and 110o heat -which today matched the record of 28 days of 110 degrees! We are still waiting for our Moving van with our "stuff" from Canada! Wondering if it will eVER get here!
Labor day weekend is upon us and I was hoping that we'd be "settled in" up in Show Low by then -- - for a few weeks! Tomorrow was the last promised day - - we shall see!
