A Sunny, Warm Start to the Week, Then...

Corona de Tucson

February 26, 2023


This week, it has been all about the weather.  After the snow and cold from the week before, Saturday was sunny and warm.  We spent a good part of the afternoon sitting outside enjoying the warmth,  watching the birds and playing ball.

 


  

Sunday was a totally different story...and the rest of the week followed suit.  Yep, we had some sun throughout the week, but it was chilly and windy with gusts up to 55 mph on Wednesday.

Thursday sunny and windy

Friday sunny and chilly

Saturday off and on sun, but warm

That brings us to today...Sunday.

Sometime between 8:00 and 8:30 am, it began to sleet.


The sleet turned to snow. 


The wintry mix continued for about three hours.

This makes twice in one month it snowed, but who is counting?  I am ! 

Sally was busy...

Our week was spent enjoying home.  When the weather is like this, Joe and I are both so happy to be in our sticks and stucco.  We both agree...no more temps in the  teens and twenties living in the MH and walking the pups first thing in the morning.  We were to head out today for a winter trip to Bisbee.  That was cancelled with plans for a later date and warmer weather.  This has definitely been a much colder and wet winter than any we experienced during the 9 years we visited here while living a life on the road.  Not complaints, just fingers crossed for a desert full of beautiful wildflowers and cacti full of gorgeous blooms.  

Our only outing this week was a trip to the grocery store.  Happy to say taxes were filed,  games were played,  the bathroom closet cleaned out,  Dover and I have been couch potatoes, 

and look what was delivered.  Thank you Joe, Jena, Felix and Edith !


Until next time, a blast from the past...


HAPPY TRAILS !
