It’s Moments Like These

It’s been a fabulous week! The weather here, just north of Phoenix, is fabulous! The sun is shining and the temps are perfect. In fact, my first rose of the season has bloomed.

To my gardener friends…what causes the brown edges on my roses? I asked Siri and she gave me a multitude of reasons.

The sun has been shining non stop and I just love how the morning sun glimmers on our dining room centerpiece.

I am loving the rich purple…! Because of this centerpiece I have purchased purple pillows and a few purple accessories for this table!

Speaking of purple the wild Lupines are still in full bloom along with the yellow poppies!

And so is our Spanish Lavender.

The bees enjoy congregating on the blossoms!

A Date Day made for a beautiful afternoon at a winery north of us, in Cornville, AZ. Fabulous wine was had at Page Springs Cellars and lovely scenery surrounded us. In a month, when Spring comes to this area of higher elevation, the area will green up a little bit more.

The young gals took our pictures. The other gals were retired school principals. We all had a fun time sharing stories!
While sipping wine …this was our amazing view. The River is Oak Creek! Oh and when the green leaves return it will be even better! We saw ducks surf down those rapids. They were so funny!

I hope that your week was good. I also hope the weather is cooperating and Spring is starting to show its signs in your neck of the woods.

I now leave you with one of our back yard sunsets while enjoying a fire in our fire pit. Sending well wishes to all of you for a great week ahead.
