Getting HOT!

The temperatures in the desert are really heating up.  Mark and I went to another spring training game (our third this year) and my car on the way home said it was 90 outdoors.  I wasn't surprised, as I was very warm at the game.  We saw a slug fest today and I lost track of all the home runs and doubles!

The plants are finally starting to rebound from that January freeze.  The warm temps are making everything start to grow and bloom.  My newly planted rose garden even had one bloom already.  The others are close behind so hopefully it will show a lot of color before Mark heads back to Iowa.


We skyped with Drew and Kayley last night.  We get such a kick out of that.  It is my salvation!  I am anxiously looking forward to my flight to Peoria on April 6th for one week.  Then it won't be long and we both will be back in Iowa and only a 5 hour drive to visit them.  :-)  I am hoping to coax the kids to come to the farm for a visit without their parents but they might not be too keen on that.  Kayley likes her mommy!  I am afraid they would get homesick because they are still a little young.

This week-end my niece Lisa and her sons ( I hope) are coming for a steak fry.  We are looking forward to that.  Hopefully later in the month we can set a time to meet them again in Old Scottsdale for dinner with nephew Aaron.  Mark would like to see them all before he leaves.

Well, that just about catches us up.  We are living a very laid back life at the moment and enjoying it immensely!  Some pics from today:
