It only took a trip to Paria Canyon for a week in the middle May to lead me away from here. But I have loads up fun garden and craft updates from the summer and fall. I think the dire critter situation in the yard kept me longer than I intended. Lets pick up where we felt off, seeking geologic, botanical and culinary experience in Paria
We pooped in a bag provided by the BLM to keep the canyon beautiful. And we carried it for a week. Life is pretty sweet sometimes!!
The several inches of snow from yesterday are pretty much all gone today. This morning I tried to beat the melt by getting a ski in on the urban trail. It got pretty sticky. Seasonal waterfalls are gonna be gushing!
Today I took someone to our beautiful Valley of the Sun to see a doctor. The Disney desert and irrigated tropical landscaping in the manufactured outdoor environment had a lot to offer today as I waited. It was sunny and calm breezy with lots of song birds! I stalked and safaried for a snapshot of a grackle and a hummingbird, but they were shy and playing hard to get. Here are some pics from the foraged retreat right next to the parking lot. I should have rallied the waiting room to join me outside! The appointment was about eyes so i thought I’d try seeing. Just waiting at the doctors office today were moments worth living.
