St. Patricks Day Parade at Southern Comfort RV Resort

 Today, being St. Patrick's Day there was a parade and other festivities planned. We have been being careful for two years because of the Coronavirus and we just decided that we'd join in the parade festivities since they were outside. We are so tired of being cooped up!

Once all the parade participants got arranged, we headed out around the park throwing candy at the residents that were sitting outside to see us go by.

Birding at Estero Llano Grande

We were getting to feel house-bound today so we decided to head over to Estero Llano which is only about 2 1/2 miles from our house. It is just so great to have so many nice birding destinations here in the Valley.  It was a great day for a hike around the park too!
