Enjoying my life

I have been back in AZ since Tuesday. I cannot complain about the weather, of course. It has been in the mid to upper 70's each day and always sunny. I think that is my favorite thing about being here....so much happy sunshine!

I have been shopping, hiking and replanting my frozen, dead geraniums. All my plants bit the dust while I was in Iowa for Thanksgiving. It seems Phoenix had a very "unusual" freeze for November. No kidding! It about killed me to throw out my tomato plants with their brown little fruit dangling. :-( I didn't buy any new tomato plants as I have decided Costco tomatoes taste just fine and will stick with colorful flowers instead.

I have the Christmas tree up and decorated but there won't be any presents under it unless Mark brings me some. Hint, hint... Everyone else is getting money from us, thus, no packages!

Below are pics from my hike this morning on North Mountain and also one of our orange tree which is starting to turn. Hope Mark feels like eating a lot of oranges this winter!
