WHERE DOES THE TIME GO?

I can't believe it is already the middle of May! Here is an update of what we have been doing since the end of last month.

On the 30th of April, Scott and Yvonne had Cliff, Shirlie, Norm (Marg had already gone home) and Bob and I over for dinner.

Scott took this picture of Shirlie, Yvonne and me. Bob likes to call us the "Three Amigos." The food and the company were great.

The next day (May 1) we took Scott and Yvonne to Arivaca to bird.

That evening Doc and Jean from Twin Falls came. They rented a place in our subdivision for 5 days so we went to their rental for drinks. Then the next night we had dinner at our house with Scott and Yvonne and Doc and Jean. The next night the six of us had dinner at Doc and Jean's.

On Monday, Doc, Jean, Bob and I went up to Madera Canyon to have a picnic and to show them where we love to be the most.

That leads us into May 5th and Cinco de Mayo! The six of us went to Tubac to the Spice Store and then to Wisdom's for Margarita's and lunch. Then we gals went shopping while the men entertained the waitresses at the Tubac Bar and Grill. We just made it back to Green Valley in time to go to a Cinco de Mayo party at Marilee's and Allen's. As you can see by the pictures, a good time was had by all!!!!!

Today Bob and I went to Rio Rico where Bob has been wanting to go to see the Black-bellied Whistling Ducks. Then on the way back we stopped in Tubac to bird along the Anza Trail. Since the 1st of May we have seen four birds to add to our life list. In Madera Canyon we saw a White-eared Hummingbird , and a Flame-colored Tanager. (these are pictures from a book, I couldn't get close enough with my little camera)

Then today in Rio Rico we saw the Black-bellied Whistling Duck:

And along the Anza Trail we saw the Swainson's Thrush.

Today we saw 45 different birds, and along with the weather that is why we live here!
