"Official Residents"

We are now official residents of the state of Arizona. Our new driver’s licenses and license plates on the cars say so! I was a little unsure about moving to AZ, my mind full of images of cactus, rocks, blowing dirt and those Snoopy cartoons with his cousin Spike; but after 6 years of moving I was more than ready to give anywhere a try. We have now been here almost four months and are finding that we really do love it. I love the still quiet mornings and the cool evenings; I love that there is no need for snow shovels, boots and parkas; I love not having to watch the weather forecast every night since the weather is always clear, sunny and hot. I love the little lizards that love to bask on the back fence and the hummingbirds that come to feed, and yes I even love the majesty of the cactus and the rock landscaping (easy to maintain). Our backyard is unfinished so I can’t really say I “love” the swirling dirt but I am adjusting!
