Hiking With Mom- Starr Pass

A FEW WEEKENDS AGO ME AND MEADOW AND MOM WENT HIKING IN STARR PASS RIGHT NEAR WHERE ME AND BUNNYBANANA USED TO LIVE ON PLAYER'S CLUB DR .

IT WAS ANOTHER GORGEOUS EARLY MORNING

WHICH WE HAVE BEEN HAVING A LOT OF LATELY

AS THE MONSOONS HOLD THEIR GROUND.

SOMEHOW THE SUN MANAGED TO STAY BEHIND

CLOUDS FOR THE ENTIRE HIKE WHICH WAS LOVELY.

A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF THE RASH CLOUDS 

I WAS REFERRING TO IN THIS POST.

COTTON BALL RASH CLOUDS

ITCHY.

WITHOUT KNOWING IT WE CAME UPON A NATURAL

SPRING WITH FLOWING WATER!!!  IT WAS AMAZING!!

THE TEMPERATURE DROPS WHEN YOU'RE NEAR IT 

AND THE PLANTS ARE LUSH AND GREEN.

AND ALSO, IN AN EXCITING NEW SUB-SEGMENT
FOR THE "HIKING WITH MOM" POSTS, I BRING YOU
"THE SOCKS SHE WORE".  YOU'RE WELCOME .

❤ ☮ ❤ ☮ ❤

Can We Talk?

THIS LAST YEAR SINCE TREVOR DIED HAS
BEEN AN ODD ONE FOR ME AS FAR AS BLOGGING
IS CONCERNED.  IT FEELS AS IF I HAVEN'T HAD A
LOT TO SAY OR TO POST ABOUT.  NOT THAT I AM SITTING
AT HOME ALONE ALL DAY EVERYDAY.  CAUSE I'M NOT.

IT'S JUST THAT I FORGET TO TAKE PICTURES
WHEN I'M OUT AND ABOUT, OR I GET BUSY AND
TOO MUCH TIME HAS PASSED FROM THE EVENT TO
THINK A POST ON IT IS EVEN RELEVANT ANYMORE . 
OR I'LL THINK THE THINGS I POST ABOUT ARE LAME
SO I SKIP THEM WHERE AS BEFORE IT WAS ALL ABOUT
QUANTITY AND REGULARITY OF POSTING . 

MAYBE I POSTED TOO MUCH BEFORE .  IDK .

LATELY I ALWAYS THINK ABOUT BLOGGING AT
TIMES WHEN I ABSOLUTELY CANNOT BLOG OR DO NOT
HAVE A PEN TO WRITE IDEAS DOWN WITH. 
A CRUEL JOKE FROM THE UNIVERSE .

SO I HAVE BEEN STICKING WITH POSTS ABOUT
DAD'S HOUSE AND HIKING WHEN I DO POST SOMETHING . 
NOTHING TOO SASSY, NOTHING TOO CRAZY.  NOTHING THAT
TAKES TOO LONG TO WRITE ABOUT.  (OK EXCEPT FOR THIS
MASSIVE ESSAY WHICH USUALLY DOESN'T HAPPEN.)  I AM STILL
TRYING TO HIT ALL THE MAJOR LIFE ITEMS THAT NEED TO
BE DOCUMENTED, BUT I FEEL LIKE A CHANGE
IS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN.

A CHANGE BACK TO THE ORIGINAL BUNNYBANANA EXCITEMENT.
BACK TO THE SILLINESS OF A POST JUST ABOUT
A NOTE FROM MY APARTMENT MANAGEMENT GONE WRONG.

BUT I ALSO LOOK BACK AT THOSE POSTS AND SEE
THAT MY LIFE WAS DIFFERENT THEN.  I SEEMED TO HAVE
A LOT OF THINGS GOING ON AND BLOGGING CAME REALLY
EASY.  THEN I THINK "SO WHAT HAVE I BEEN DOING LATELY?" 
WELL LOTS OF STUFF!!!  SO THEN WHY DON'T I EVER
THINK TO WRITE A BLOG ABOUT IT ANYMORE? 
I HAVE NO IDEA!!!

I THINK BACK THEN I FOUND EVERYTHING MORE
AMUSING AND I JUST HAD TO SHARE IT WITH BUNNYBANANA
RIGHT AWAY.  NOW THINGS ARE A BIT MORE STOIC, AND
EVERYTHING SEEMS LESS URGENT WHICH LEADS TO BLOG
POSTS GETTING PUT OFF UNTIL THEY BECOME OBSOLETE ,
I GET BORED, AND THEY NEVER GET PUBLISHED.

SOMETHING HAS CHANGED AND I WANT IT TO CHANGE BACK .
I FEEL LIKE THAT IS STARTING TO HAPPEN NOW.

SO ANYWAY WITH THAT BEING SAID.....
I'M GONNA DO A COUPLE POSTS ON HIKING
AND DAD'S HOUSE NOW.  HA HA ,YUP.
ENJOY!!!

Draw Something

DRAW SOMETHING - IT IS SO STUPID AND YET

IT IS MY FAVORITE SMART PHONE GAME .

IF YOU COULD CALL IT A GAME REALLY.

I HAVE RECENTLY SAVED SOME OF MY FAVORITE

DRAW SOMETHING MASTER PIECES NOW 

THAT BUNNYBANANA IS AN AVID PLAYA .

HERE ARE MY TOP PICKS FROM ME AND

THE TWO PEOPLE I KNOW WHO ARE STILL

WILLING TO PLAY THIS GAME WITH ME .

HA HA .  THEY LOOK SO SILLY ALTOGETHER .

YOU'D THINK I HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO.

NOPE .

My Plants

AS WE BEGAN GARDENING THIS SPRING I DECIDED
THAT I WANT TO GET INTO PLANTS MORE .

I MEAN, I LOVE KITTIES AND ALL , BUT PLANTS
ARE I THINK A BETTER FIT FOR ME .

IT ALL STARTED WITH THESE TWO PLANTS
THAT LINDA GAVE ME .  THE POOR THINGS FROZE
IN THE WINTER BUT HAVE COME BACK NICELY.

SHE ALSO GAVE ME THIS SPIDER PLANT THAT IS
SOMEHOW COMING BACK FROM THE DEAD.
IT HAS BEEN A REAL TROOPER .

THEN MEADOW GAVE ME THIS ADORABLE

CUTTING FROM ONE OF HER SUCCULENTS .

SOOO PRETTY.  I HOPE IT SURVIVES !!

AND THEN I FELL IN LOVE WITH THIS WANDERING JEW

AND GOT IT AS A HOUSE WARMING PRESENT TO MYSELF.

I ALSO GAVE A BUNCH OF CUTTINGS OF IT AWAY.

THE LEAVES ARE IRIDESCENT AND GLITTERY IN THE SUN.

ALRIGHT GLITTER PLANT, THIS IS YOUR NEW HOME !!

❣♥❣♥❣

Sunsets at My New Place

TUCSON IS KNOWN FOR GREAT SUNSETS AND THE
PLACE I JUST MOVED INTO HAS A PERFECT VIEW OF THEM!

MONSOONS COMING DOWN ON "A" MOUNTAIN -

THE VIEW LOOKING SOUTH FROM MY FRONT YARD.

THE VIEW LOOKING OUT WEST TOWARDS THE
PARK ACROSS THE STREET FROM MY HOUSE . . . .

OVER AND OVER AGAIN, NIGHT AFTER NIGHT.

I KNOW IT SEEMS LIKE THE SAME PICTURE

REPEATED BUT THEY ARE ALL DIFFERENT NIGHTS .

EVERY SUNSET LATELY HAS BEEN STUNNING!!
