Cannas in the desert






Last fall when I dug up the cannas that Mark had planted on the farm I shoved several in my suitcase to try to plant at the town house in AZ. I put them in a pot in October, they were slow to grow over the winter even surviving a couple of frosty nights. They are finally getting into their full glory now. They aren't as tall as the ones we grow in Iowa, but they are just in pots so that limits their size I think. My geraniums are doing exceptionally well here, too. I love flowers!

Celebrity Golf Tournament







Last week-end Mark and I went with Megan, Andy and Drew to a celebrity tournament here in Phoenix. It was mostly athletes but a few actors were also there. I was a little disappointed when Kevin Costner didn't show, as he was on the list! Anyway, it was a beautiful day on the course watching the rich and famous do their thing!
