On another note, Tucson has been very hot and yet very enjoyable as of late, the heat isn't bad at all as long as you don't overdo it in the sun. And we have had a strange, unseasonal rainy spell the past week, which has brightened up all the plants in our yard and neighborhood. We planted a new summer container veggie garden about 3 weeks ago, and everything is looking good. We ride our nearly-vintage bikes around the downtown area, and absolutely love it. The pace in Tucson has slowed noticeably since the students left and the snowbirds are going back north, it's more quiet, and seems to fit with the heat. There's not much right now that beats sitting in the shade on a hot day, looking at the blooming plants and drinking iced tea.
Enjoy the selection of photos from the past couple of months!

We have planted some vines in our back patio, and hope to train them to grow overhead creating an arbor for some precious shade.
Our friend, Julie, joins us on the Tucson City Coops Tour, where we visited urban homes that have backyard chicken coops. The plastic bags are to keep possible disease from spreading from coop to coop. We hope to get our own coop going in the next 2 weeks.

This place is just around the corner from our house. Overpriced, but yummy and fun.
