The Beauty of Spring

 Pansies I planted on the patio

My first orchid ever

The flower offered of itself
And eloquently spoke
Of Gods
In languages of rainbows
Perfumes
And secret silence...
~Phillip Pulfrey, from Love, Abstraction and other Speculations

Daily Visitors

These days we have many "visitors" on our porch. Young chipmunks playfully chasing each other and birds fighting for a spot on the feeder. Always busy out there.

The weather has not been too nice so far. A few warm days with sunshine, but mainly cold and rain.

Lots of heavy thunderstorms today with hail and tornado warnings.

I bought quite a few flowers already and I need to get them planted quickly.

And soon we will be going on vacation. I can't wait to see the desert in bloom again and go horseback riding through the canyons.

Check out my friend Andrea's website, she is my favorite crafter and so talented.

Taco Rico

Cheese Quesadillas

Chimichanga

Discovered a different mexican restaurant. It is a small place, called Taco Rico. The food is so delicious there and the service is equally great.

What is your favorite food?

Music I am listening to right now - I rediscovered the Pointer Sisters.

Check out this video, a heartbreaking story about an amazing dog named "Kandu". Luckily he did not get euthanized.
