I can't believe it! We've gone from it being cold and having a fire in the fireplace to almost 80 degrees today. It's been like this all week and we're really enjoying it. I went out and bought the dogs a wading pool so they can cool off too. Miley is a real water dog. Scooby has come around too and was drenched by the time they finished playing! We're having a laid back afternoon after some yard work this morning. Ah spring in Tucson...warm weather, blue skies, snakes, scorpions and killer bees. What more could a person ask for? Really, despite the critters, the desert is really a great place to live. We just have to watch out for them and respect them if we meet while out on a walk. It's a different story if they end up in my yard or in the house! When we first moved to this house, we had a swarm of 20-30,000 africanized killer bees in the the big mesquite out front. Spring is definitely in the air and it feels great!
