Play With Me

Throw my little squeaky toy so I can chase it and play with it. I like when the hoomins throw my toys and I can play keep away with them. I run around the coffee table and jump up on the sofa and love seat to keep the toy away from them. Click on me to make me big.

Last Saguaro Flower of Summer

I believe this is the last of the summer saguaro flowers on our giant cactus. We were very fortunate to have had so many flowers after the cactus crew transplanted our beautiful saguaro in May. Click on the image to enlarge.

Quail Chicks

I couldn’t tell the gender of the little ones, but they definitely appear to be adolescents foraging with the mama and daddy quail. I was afraid we wouldn’t see any little ones but this evening we have.

The Spa is Here!!

Verna took these before and after images of the third bay in the patio. I cropped the two images into a before and after the new spa arrived today. After unwrapping and moving the spa into position, we filled it, put the chemicals in and started enjoying it just about an hour and a half after it showed up. Click on the image to enlarge.
