Flowers

Today I planted a succulent garden in a medium sized round pot, and petunias in another one. The wind is blowing very hard today. Between that and the "sweet little bunnies" I hope to have petunias tomorrow morning.

I also bought rope lights and a timer to put under my trailer. Evidently there are pack rats here and they do not like the lights and will stay away from my trailer. Hopefully I can get it installed tomorrow. It will be so nice when this wind slows/stops.

Yesterday I met a very nice man, Bill. He lives in Mexico but comes to the states in the summer to travel and take wild life photos. He is very good at it too. We shall see how that goes.

Sunday some friends in Tucson are leaving this month and we are having a BBQ for everyone. I'm looking forward to seeing them all again. Sam and Mac are heading to Oregon and Washington to look for property. I think they are ready to settle down after many, many years of glob trotting.

Work

Today was my first day at work. I got a job at Walmart as a cashier. There is a lot to learn! Hope I can keep up. I've always been quick, but now I'm older. (uncharted area)

There is a cold front moving in. Supposed to be in the 50's Saturday. What happened to spring? Will we ever have warm days? I bought 4 succulents today to plant in my cactus garden. I think 2 of the barrel cactus did not make it. I'm going to give them a chance to come back before I write them off and replace them. I'm also thinking of a rose bush, just not sure where to plant it as it is so windy here.

I have time to decide, I don't have to make all decisions this spring/summer. Just like the shed, I'm not going to repaint it until fall. I should have made a decision by then. right?

Rose Parade Tombstone, Az

Yesterday I went to Tombstone to see the Rose Parade. Tombstone is home to the largest rose tree in the world. For some reason I did not get a picture of it this time but have seen it before.

The parade was very good. Longer and better than I thought it would be. There was an elementary school band that was better than some high school bands I've heard. I ran into friends from the RV park and watched the parade with them.

Before going to Tombstone I went to a craft faire in Benson. There were some unique items, but not anything I needed.

Today is pretty low key. Just doing laundry, cleaning, etc. The wind is blowing, again! I think it is nap time.
