Springing Out

The weather is back to a somewhat normal range, folks are outside everywhere you look, and the flowers are blooming beautiful. I should have a picture to share on the phenomenon, but it isn't really necessary if you just look outside. It is my favorite time in Arizona, smelling the orange blossoms outside and the printed pages of tax returns inside! Most of us have cut back the brown bushes left in the wake of the deep freezes, and mine are now budding out with some green leaves. The ficus and jacaranda trees are still looking sad, but even those have some growth at the bottom, so there is still hope.

The Mister and I purchased some cruising bikes - not the ones with the third wheel, which our son so helpfully suggested, but comfortable nonetheless - and between the beauty of Morrison Ranch and the trail systems of Gilbert, we hope to increase our exercise quotient.

It's a wonderful time to live in Arizona.
