Advent Calendar 2022

 When Sierra was younger, one of our holiday traditions was to have an Advent Calendar filled with little bites, usually candy. Sue made one for Sierra this year. Filled with lots of little gifts ranging from small bottles of lotions to create an ornament kit. So far she has enjoyed the occasional $5.00 bill the most.

Thanksgiving 2022

We had a nice Thanksgiving.  All of the usual foods, and all great.

Canal Convergence 2022

 For the last 10 years Scottsdale has had a multi artist art installation along the canal called the Canal Convergence. We went this year for the first time. We spent some time at Scottsdale Fashion Square Mall, with a nice dinner at the Kona Grill. Then we walked down to the Canal as it got dark to see the shows.

Had a real good time and wouldn't mind doing it again next year.

Asparagus Patch doing well.

12 Yellow Ballons March 28 2022

 

Had a Hot Air Balloon tour float close by the house. It has been a very long time since they last did that. (Decades?)  Also some morning video of the garden.

2022 Citrus Harvest

This years Citrus harvest was not as big as usual. A bad wind storm wiped out all the friut earlier off "Old Reliable" and we got nothing off that tree. Luckily the two young trees took over. The Myers lemon Sue rescued produced 4 lemons. 

It's 84 degrees out and they are all blooming or about to bloom, the sweet scent of Orange will fill the back yard.
