New Family Member

so.

Our niece, Tina Moddrell/McCarthy and her husband Ryan McCarthy just
had their second little girl on Thursday.

Weighing in at 8 lbs. 6 ozs. little Lyra Jean came screaming into the world!

Her older sister, Ayla, seems to be very excited about the new household
member also.

Our Ocotillos

Our Ocotillos which always look so dead during the winter are getting their small leaves and starting to form buds for flowers!

How exciting. Will post pictures when they bloom - they are gorgeous.

A green and red sculpture!

More blooms

A few more pictures of spring arriving in our yard

I have been taking gardening classes at the Tucson Botanical Gardens and during the first class the instructor mentioned early and late spring.

I had to ask "When is spring?" Everyone laughed but the instructor said early spring is February 15th through March and sometimes into April; late spring is April through May.

I like it!

It is still snowing and raining in the Northwest and it is now March so we are in spring!

Spring in the Garden

One of the transplanted Agaves is shooting up it's stem - all in the last 24 hours!

Will have more pictures soon.

Tonight's Visitor

A little bunny sat outside our office window for a while this afternoon but something scared him away as you can see.

Even more Gliderport Photos

The top photo is a pilot named Randy who had just finished a "competition" flyover and is now on final approach - the last glider to land that day.

The second picture is of Chuck landing his 80th birthday present after several hours of soaring.

In the next photo the Line Chief is attaching the tow line to the glider that Mark and Michael are in.

The last photo is of another glider just about to touch down.
