Can you believe we have been residents here for a year today (June 11)! It seems like only yesterday we were hurrying to get everything packed and loaded to move down here. I guess the old adage, "time flies when your having fun," really is true. We had heard from a number of locals that if you can stand June you can stand the summer! Well we made it through last June. It was warm -- well maybe HOT -- so we decided to stay inside and paint the house. When we bought the house it was mostly vanilla. As you can see from the following pictures it is no longer.
When we finished painting, we decided to redo the patio -- well, we decided to hire someone to redo the patio. The pictures below are how it looked before.
And after:
We have made some great friends down here. And had a "bunch" of fun along the way.
And we have been able to see our "old" friends too!
We are looking forward to another monsoon, lots more birding, October when all our friends come back, when friends and family visit, and to a second great year in Arizona.
