New(ish) phone test post!

Now that I have an iPhone maybe this whole posting from my phone will finally work! I'm pretty damn hopeful.

Hiking With Mom- King Canyon

ME AND MOM HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET OUT
HIKING TOGETHER MORE AND MORE (SEE OUR LAST
HIKE HERE).  THIS TIME WE BROUGHT PEACER .

GORGEOUS DAY.  

YOU COULD SEE KITT PEAK

IN THE DISTANCE REALLY WELL .

(ON THE FAR MOUNTAINS , PROBABLY

TOO HARD TO SEE IN THIS TINY PIC .)

IN THIS PIC I'VE CIRCLED AND POINTED OUT KITT PEAK TO 

YOU.  IT IS WAY OUT THERE ON TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN.

I WAS ABLE TO GET BETTER PICTURES OF

THE FLOWERS THIS TIME USING MY PHONE

INSTEAD OF MY CAMERA .  IT IS EASIER TO

FOCUS ON WHAT YOU WANT.

WE DECIDED THAT THIS WOULD BE A GREAT

HIKE TO COME BACK TO IN MONSOON SEASON 

SINCE IT RUNS ALONG A WASH AND THERE 

WOULD BE WATER .  WE ARE DEFINITELY

PLANNING ON COMING BACK TO IT.

TIRED PUPPY!!

WEIRD LITTLE ABANDONED STRUCTURE BY THE PICNIC TABLES .

LOVE!!!

Sunday at Dad's

I HAVE A LOT OF BLOG POSTS STORED UP RIGHT
NOW BUT I AM NOT FINDING TIME TO POST THEM
SO I ONCE AGAIN FIND MYSELF A LITTLE BEHIND.

DO I EVEN NEED TO KEEP SAYING THIS???
FROM NOW ON LET'S JUST ASSUME THAT I'M GONNA
BE BEHIND ON POSTING FOR THE MOST PART.

THERE .  THAT FELT GOOD TO ADMIT.
NOW I CAN LEAVE IT.

A COUPLE WEEKS AGO I WENT OUT
TO DAD'S HOUSE AS I OFTEN DO.

SPRING HAS SPRUNG AND EVEN HERE IN

THE DESERT THERE ARE FLOWERS EVERYWHERE .

♥

DAD GRILLED CHICKEN....

....AND MADE POTATOES.

FOR DESSERT LINDA MADE HER FAMOUS 

ORANGE CAKE (SEEN BEFORE HERE).

AND I CAN'T HELP IT BUT THERE ARE SOOO

MANY GOOD SUNSETS FROM THEIR HOUSE .

SO I HAD TO TAKE A FEW PICS .  JUST A FEW.

☾  ☾  ☾

Drink Pics 1

I HAVE DONE A LOT OF FOOD PIC BLOGS BUT
NOT SO MANY DRINK PICTURES , AND LETS FACE
IT, THERE ARE A LOT OF PRETTY DRINKS OUT THERE .
(LIKE THE ONES SASHA MADE FOR US .)

I HAVE DECIDED TO ADD A SEGMENT FOR
DRINKS MUCH LIKE THE FOOD PIC POSTS .

NO CAPTIONS , JUST PICTURES ,
IT'S COCKTAIL HOUR AND....... GO!!!

FIN!!

Garden Gansta

ME AND MEADOW'S GARDEN IS OFF TO A
GREAT START !!  A COUPLE WEEKS AGO WE
STARTED SOME SEEDS (WHICH HOPEFULLY WILL
POP UP SOON) AND WE SOILED UP A PLOT OF DIRT
IN HER BACKYARD SO WE ARE READY TO PLANT !!

(WHAT IS INORGANIC GARDEN SOIL MADE OF ??!)

HERE ARE OUR MANY LITTLE SEEDLINGS

ALL IN A ROW.  WE PLANTED MARIGOLDS , SUNFLOWERS ,

PEPPERS , MINI CUCUMBER , WATERMELON, AND I THINK

THAT WAS ALL WE DECIDED TO ATTEMPT FROM SEED.

SOIL GETTING MIXED IN TO OUR GARDEN PLOT.

ALL FINISHED!!

WE DECIDED THAT FOR NOW WE DIDN'T HAVE THE

TIME OR RESOURCES TO BUILD A RAISED GARDEN BED.

I KNEW THE LABELS HAD TO BE CUTE SO I WENT ONTO
PINTREST AND ALMOST IMMEDIATELY FOUND THIS IDEA .
WE JUST SO HAPPEN TO HAVE AN ABUNDANCE OF CORKS
IN THE CRAFT ROOM.  PERFECT!!!

THERE I AM- THE GARDEN GANGSTA .
BANDANA USED FOR SWEAT PURPOSES
BUT YOU CAN'T REFUTE IT'S STYLE !!

THE NEXT WEEK WE WENT TO THE FARMERS MARKET
AND BOUGHT THESE CUTIES FROM THE ARAVAIPA BOOTH.
MEADOW'S DAD TURNED US ONTO IT SINCE HE'S THE EXPERT.

WE CHOSE WENK'S YELLOW HOT AND PURPLE DE ARBOL
(BOTH HOT PEPPERS) & CALIFORNIA WONDER ORANGE
AND CUBANELLE (BOTH SWEET PEPPERS).

ALL HEIRLOOM WHICH IS MY NEW FAVORITE GARDENING TERM.

AND THEN JUST TODAY MEADOW LET ME KNOW THAT
HER DAD HAS DROPPED OFF SOME PRECIOUS TOMATO
PLANTS THAT ARE READY FOR US TO GET INTO THE GROUND.
(ALL HEIRLOOM AS WELL - THE BEST TOMATOES!!!)

I AM PRETTY SURE WE INHERITED SOME AMISH PASTE
TOMATOES , BLACK CHERRY TOMATOES , INDIAN MOON
TOMATOES , WHITE PEACH TOMATOES , TOMMY TOE
TOMATOES AND TOMATILLOS .

TONIGHT THE GARDEN BECOMES REAL !!!  MORE
GARDEN PICTURES ARE DEFINITELY IN THE FUTURE AS
THINGS GROW AND WE ADD MORE .

EXCITING STUFF!!!!!
