Cotton Fields

We have gone from this…..

to this…….

and harvest has begun.  Some fields have already been plowed and ready for the next crop.

Love living in this part of Arizona with farming and ranching surrounding me.

Casa Grande Ruins National Monument

Today we had to go to Coolidge to license the van.  On the way home we decided to stop at the Casa Grande Ruins National Monument.  I am glad we did for it was very interesting and educational.  It reminds me of Mesa Verde in Colorado with the exception that Mesa Verde is built on the side of the cliffs and Casa Grande in on flat land in the middle of the harshest land in the southern Arizona desert.  It is only 7 miles from our home here in Florence. 

We go by it every time we go to Coolidge.  After 4 months living here today was that special day to stop and see what it was all about.  We watched a movie before venturing out to walk among the ruins.  You can go here to learn more about this exciting national park.

 

Poodle Skirt

This is the adorable poodle skirt that Kelly made for Evan today.  It is the cutest skirt and she is going to have so much fun wearing it to her 50’s event later this month.  Lucky girl to have a pink poodle skirt.
