A lizard that lives in my mom and dad's yard.
The warm blue sky
some small blue flowers.

It was 88 degrees here today. Not complaining. More noticeable than the heat, was the beautiful blue sky and sunshine. Just what I needed. I have not been able to do much but be with my mom and dad. My dad is still in the hospital, so I am going to be coming home on time, at this point, on Wednesday. All of these photos were taken on my walk around the block at my mom and dads house. Just super neat. The 4th photo has a hummingbird on the top of the cactus. It was so cool to see it just sitting there. If you look carefully at the Huge prickly pear cactus, the 3rd photo, you can see a couple of heart shaped lobes. K~
This is a goose at my the lake my walks around. They call it tosslehead
Here is an adorable water turtle.
Absolutely my favorite plant here. The new spike imprints on the old spike next to it. 
Here is another photo.
This is a neat palm tree. I want one of these. K~
This project was inspired by 2 things, my 2D class in college and my friend from Ravelry's "State Fair Afghan". I used many colors to finish it. It was kind of fun to make and even more fun to photograph in the warm Arizona sun.
OOOO.....Sunny plants!!! I can hardly wait for spring! It is so nice and sunny here!
All cozy with Heidi. We like to cuddle.

We made it to our 2nd annual Kalahari visit. It was very enjoyable. The kids had a super time. We did not share the sad news until this morning, when we were safe at home. God is an awesome God. That's all I have to say. So far he has given me the strength to carry on. He has provided moments for me to keep in touch with our neighbors with out feeling too intrusive, which, is a fear of mine. My dad is doing "ok" and I am anxious to get down there. My mom is tense as can be expected. I am looking forward to seeing how things are with my own eyes. 
C had a great idea to climb on this rope thing. Rick and S joined her. It looked a i too scary for me. They made it though. phew.
Then C wanted to see the "Flare bartenders" at a restaurant. So here they are my 3 precious cherubs bellied up to the bar! We were hoping that a glass would not hit them so we would have to explain that one. It was very short and very entertaining. Just fancy juggling with bottles.
We topped the evening off with"Chocolate Insanity" I wish you could have heard our sweet waitress. We couldn't remember the name, so, she said...."Chocolate Insanity? I'll punch that in." It was funny and a family phrase from the weekend.
Of Course there was swimming. I even went down 2 slides. I know!!
Here's M. She is so adorable. We gave her a candy bracelet for Valentine's day. She figured out how to work that and finished it in a flash. later she tried one of her flower buttons. OOPS. I feel kind of bad about corrupting her.
Vintage Vertical Stripe pillow. 
Then.... In April, I get to be a nanny for this little fella in New York for 5 days. Sprinkle in 3 birthday parties, volunteering, Parenting class, Montessori Connections group, my zoo, and what ever else.....well..... I am going to be a bit busy. I feel blessed, however, that I am able to be helpful. K~
