Contentment...
July is a bit more than "in full swing" as it is already nearing the end of the month. We were so happy to start the month with a very nice rainy day although we have only had one more since. Both were nice soaking rains late in the day and through the night. We sure need the rain and welcome every drop with fingers crossed the monsoon season will give us more in August and September.

| Rainy days are so special in the desert. I often find myself walking around the yard for photo opps. Capturing the droplets is rewarding. |

We have checked off a few necessary annual appointments for me and for Joe. Joe also has had 3 MOHs surgeries this month and the stitches will come out on the 28th. The squamous cell carcinoma cancer on his scalp will also need 16 rounds of radiation (that is twice a week for eight weeks) after it heals...hopefully starting the middle to end of August.
Jamie, Andra and Ozzie spent the 4th of July holiday and weekend with us. It's so fun having them here. Eating, laughing, playing, and conversing is non stop. Lucy has an especially good time. She adores Ozzie and he is so sweet to her.
Friday night we walked around the neighborhood to see the fireworks.
And Saturday we went to look at plants and trees at Civano and enjoyed a late lunch at Ranch Rustico. Our first time to eat there...a yummy Mexican lunch, extra cold brew, and great service! We even brought sopapillas home.

The clouds put on great shows this time of year.
The colors in the backyard put smiles on our faces.
Sweet little curls fill our hearts and our home.
And that brings me to contentment... a state of peaceful happiness.
Until next time,
HAPPY TRAILS!
