More bears and a walk

More bears and a walk

We’ve had a couple of rainy days over the weekend but we’re not complaining. It beats the weather at home and it was perfect for watching football Sunday. Yesterday we went for a short hike in Saguaro National Park. The East Park has some great flat trails for gimpy hikers, like me. Here are a few photos from the hike.

We are also getting the treat of watching an Anna’s Hummingbird nest near our friend’s condo. We expect one more egg and we should get to see them hatch before we leave. This is my first time seeing hummingbird nest live.

Since my last update I’ve made 3 more bear blocks. That’s 5 out of 13 and for the last two I didn’t require any unsewing.  Ita quilting miracle!

Next I’m going to work on the tree blocks a bit. I think that if I don’t break up the tree blocks sewing that it might get too tedious.

Today we will have a little pool time and then attempt a drive up Mount Lemmon. The top is at 9000 feet and I have altitude issues. We’ll see how far I get. There are a couple of cookouts on the way up so we should get some good views.

    Great pictures! I especially love the hummingbird ones. What are the sandy divots on the ground? Bird nests? Alien footprints?
