After a very good dinner of delicious spaghetti and mozzarella-stuffed meatballs, we figured we needed a walk. The dogs needed the walk too. Verna did the cleanup and took the little ones back to the house. Click on the image to enlarge.

Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup
Verna took a chicken breast, noodles and veggies and made this wonderful chicken noodle soup for lunch today. Man, was it good. Heart healthy, low sodium, filled with fiber and a real treat! Click on the image to enlarge.
The Mama’s Lap
Sometimes Cabela and I like to get on the Mama’s lap at the same time. The Mama loves us both, but it gets crowded in her chair with the three of us. Click to make us bigger.
Saguaro and the Waxing Crescent Moon
Today was another clear (and cold) high desert day. The waxing crescent moon could be seen just next to the center upraised arms of our big saguaro cactus between the courtyard and the driveway. Click on the image to enlarge.
Palm Cactus – Again
Since we posted about a cactus growing out of a palm tree a couple of years ago, part of the prickly pear cactus fell down. The other day, I took this photo of the cactus in the tree being propped up by a brace. They had it held up by ropes, but now, someone built a wooden base for the cactus to rest on.

Here’s how the cactus looked back in September of 2010 . . .
A Desert Compass Cactus in 3D
This cactus is growing in our back yard amongst all the native desert plant and animal life. The cactus is about a foot high and ten inches in diameter at the base. Like many other barrel cacti, it leans toward the south, hence the “compass” name.
I was up on the hill behind the RV drive and took the image pair that I merged into this anaglyph image. Click on the image to enlarge.
Of course, you will need your free pair of 3D glasses to view the anaglyph image. If you don’t have your 3D glasses you can view the 2D image here.
