Can you believe this is me sitting outside reading on New Year's Eve. We have been having amazing weather the past few days (high 70's). After a cold spell, where we had to cover our plants at night; it got down to 26 degrees one night (what was that about?), it has warmed up again, and it is beautiful.
Boomer decided to get a little sun too! He loves to be outside and loves to crawl around on the lounge chair.

We had a great Christmas; hope you did too. Kent and Lesley came and spent Tuesday, Wednesday, and Christmas Day with us. They went home on Friday because of a frost warning. They had to cover their plants as the frost warning extended up to Phoenix and surrounding area.
Kent and Lesley gave us a Pomegranate tree for Christmas, and on Wednesday, Kent and Bob planted it. They had to move another plant and extend the drip line to plant the tree, but
we are so excited to have one in our own yard.
The first time we saw a Pomegranate blossom was at the Tumacacori Mission just South of Tubac. (picture below)
The blossoms were beautiful. They look like a carnation and were a dreamsicle color. We can hardly wait for ours to bloom. When it finally gets Pomegranates and if you leave them on the tree, they will pop open and the birds love them. 
We are going to freinds for dinner tonight, but will probably be home by 9. We haven't made it to midnight on New Years Eve since Y2K! Happy New Year.
