I hope this works! This is my first post from my new, and highly improved, computer!
I am so sorry to my blog buddies, I am so behind on many of your great articles, recipes and stories!! My old lap top just couldn’t keep up with anything anymore 😒! So after 2 hours at the only Mac store in Tucson, and a few grand lighter in my wallet, I am back online 🤞.
The amazing Roda, from Growing Self Blog has issued a challenge! The mission is to find signs of spring as we say good bye to winter! 🦋
The weather is fabulous in Tucson (80Fs all week!). I had to get outside the other day and decided to head over to nearby Sabino Canyon. I have been there many times and while it is a great place, it has always been extremely dry. Not this time! Apparently spring in the desert means water, and lot of it.
This is the Sabino Creek trail, where I usually walk straight through the dry sand. Today there was no way to cross over to the other side.
The top of the dam, which is never wet!
We have never seen water trickling over the dam, but now it is in torrents!
There were families out enjoying this anomaly!
I had to take a video to prove to my family that this really did happen! Remember this is dry and dusty most of the year, and this was the first time we have had any evidence that the dam was more than just ornamental ☺️
I will be out looking for more signs, if this post works! 💕
Invisible-No-More 
how cool!! beautiful pictures & nice to see the dam isn’t always dry & dusty 🙌🏻

I upgraded to a more powerful Mac Pro. Oh and I finally replaced my iPhone screen cover which cracked when I fell off a mountain in December. I survived but the screen didn’t 💕

I love my MacBook, but it’s time for me to replace it. You’ll have to tell me how you like the Pro. Now, for the more important issue. You FELL OFF A MOUNTAIN????

Ya, it happens! I was tethered to the anchor but a gust of wind caught me just right. Fell around 12 to 18ft before the rope caught me. I was fine but when I was spinning my backpack hit the rock a few times and cracked my screen protector 😊

Only for a few seconds! I did try to yell that I was ok because we couldn’t see one another. We laugh about it now😊

It probably brought you closer together, in the end. Fear of having killed one’s mother will do that to a person! 🙂

I got a new computer on Monday—my first in six years. I’ve been running the blog off an iPad, so it’s way weird to see what it looks like on a laptop!

I have been in Sabino Canyon and Bear Canyon, quite a few times, especially enjoying Seven Falls. I will be in Tucson at the end of next week for, among other things, the Grand Opening of the Pima Loop.
