What's the Lion Wearing Now?

We were ready and out of the apartment pretty early. Wanted to walk along the lake front and get a picture of the Cinco de Mayo Lion, didn't want anyone to miss out on seeing it.

We had a nice walk and lucked out that we finished with the breeze in our face and the sun at our back because it got very hot walking the other way. Riley did very well wearing his hat when the sun was in our face but when it wasn't he felt his foot needed the hat more then his head.

Still no idea what they are doing at the lake front but the one end is closed with lots of equipment and people working inside the fence they have put up. Sure wish they would just get it all done.

When we got home we looked at the flowers and tried to figure out why one of the impatients is dying and we couldn't see anything obvious but who knows it may just come back on it's own or just die.

This was one of those days when Riley took his nap, Gramma took a nap too. Mine wasn't quite as long as his but I just couldn't keep my eyes open for about an hour. After that I spent some time reading up on the Channel Islands, which are off the coast of Santa Barbara. Dan and I will be doing a day trip out to Anacapa while we are out there. Looks very interesting and can't wait.

Riley and I spent the afternoon playing and when Andy arrived home we almost didn't recognize the man behind the new glasses with sunglasses. Makes him look downright handsome. But don't tell Andy that or it will go right to his head.
