Bird walk in Tohono Chul

On Saturday we got up early to join our friends, Ed and Joanne Wallach, at Tohono Chul for a birdwalk.

Our guide, Jay, was full of information and enthusiasm and since no one else showed up we had a private tour!

Saw several species but learned even more!

More Sabino Canyon Hike photos

Sabino Canyon Walk

Yesterday we hiked in Sabino Canyon with our friends, Ed and Joanne Wallach, who are in Tucson for the month of March from very cold Maryland. They have rented the home that we had last year and seem to be enjoying the amenities there.

The walk was lovely - saw the first saguaro bloom of the year and the first small horned lizard I have ever seen in the wild.

After the hike we had frozen margaritas and appetizers at the El Charro close by - happy hour of course and a great way to end a hike!

One last picture

Little Lyra looks very comfortable in Michael's arms.

Our trip to see the newborn

We drove up to Phoenix yesterday and spent the afternoon at Bev & Cliff's.

Tina and Ryan brought both Ayla and Lyra Jean - the newborn - over to visit.

Michael looks like a natural, no?

The Mother, Tina, looks very pleased to have her pregnancy over!

Ayla, the older sister, looks a little peeved that Lyra Jean is getting so much attention in one of the photos but in the others she is back to her usual upbeat and fun loving attitude.
