Sewing and hiking

I don’t have a lot to report except that we’re still having a great time in Tucson. On Thursday we went to Madiera Canyon in the Coronado National Forest.

It’s a bird watching area. We didn’t actually see tons of birds but we saw Avorn Woodpeckers and Mexican Jays. Both were new to us. There’s regular water in this canyon so the microclimate was quite lush compared to everywhere else around here. It’s one of the most peaceful and relaxing places I’ve ever been.

One of the cool trees there is the Alligator Juniper. You can see how it got that name.

On the sewing front I made some good progress on the tree blocks for the bear quilt.

Yesterday we hung close to the condo, did some exercise, had some pool time. We checked on the hummingbird nest and there are 2 eggs now! Just a lovely and relaxing day. Today we’re headed to Sabino Canyon for a hike.
