We have been doing stuff...

...I just haven't been posting about it! But, here's a selection of photos:

In February, I went bird-watching at the Riparian Preserve.
(this is a female mallard, getting a drink)

 

besides birds, I also spent lots of time trying to get
good pics of the bees collecting pollen.

In March, I attended a 3-Day scrapbooking event in Tucson,
where I scrapped (almost) non-stop
from Friday afternoon till Sunday afternoon.

I did get some scrapping done, though-- and had a really fun time doing it!

In March, we also attended the Chandler Ostrich Festival...

...we missed the ostrich races, so these two guys were the only ones we saw.

But, we did see A Flock of Seagulls! (which is a band from the 1980s).

back at home, Zola honed her high-wire skills on the clothes drying rack...

We also went hiking at Boyce Thompson Arboretum.

We marveled at the spring flowers and the beautiful scenery...

 

...and were amazed to see an abundance of cardinals!!
(neither of us have seen any of these in AZ since we moved here.)

...we also attended the 10th Anniversary Salsa Festival here in Maricopa.
(there were some good entries, and some baaaad ones.)

 In April, we took the dogs to the new dog park here
in town, which they absolutely loved!

There was a lot of this.

So, that's the 'Cliff Notes' version of what's been going on in the AZ Desert!! 

There's also been lots of working (I love my new job, and Tom's been really busy at his), some reading, some art journaling, some scrapping, some television (Justified, Sons of Guns, Deadliest Catch), a few movies (watching the DVDs I got at the book sale, lol!), and planning our first two-week vacation, which we'll be taking later on in the summer to celebrate our 10th Anniversary.  

...and I'll try to post sooner than 3 months from now!
