I FORGOT……

BRRRRRR……..

WE WOKE UP THIS MORNING TO 26 DEGREES. NO WE WEREN’T ON THE LOWER DESERT, BUT WE WERE ON “THE MOUNTAIN”. WE DROVE UP YESTERDAY MORNING.

IN THE AFTERNOON IT WAS 15 DEGREES WARMER ON THE SCEEN PORCH THAN IT WAS INSIDE THE CABIN. WE WERE IN T-SHIRTS CARRYING 5 GAL BUCKETS OF WATER TO THE PLANTS IN MARY’S YARD. THE MOUNTAIN IS STILL ARIZONA AND BASICALLY AN ARID CLIMATE. MARY’S NEW PERENNIALS NEED TO BE WATERED ONCE A MONTH, UNLESS THERE IS GOOD SNOW COVER TO SURVIVE THE WINTER.

WE DIDN’T UNWINTERIZE THE CABIN FOR JUST ONE NIGHT, AND FIRED UP THE ELECTRIC HEAT IN THE BEDROOM AND BATHROOM. IT WARMED UP NICE AND COZY. WE HAD TO CARRY WATER ABOUT 50 YARDS FROM THE CLUBHOUSE LAUNDRY TO MARY’S PLANTS.

JOE AND ROSEMARY, FRIENDS WHO LIVE IN LAKE HAVASU IN THE WINTER, BUT ON THE MOUNTAIN IN THE SUMMER HAD DENTAL APPOINTMENTS IN SHOW LOW, SO WITH THE HUNTERS WE GOT TOGETHER FOR COCKTAILS AND DINNER.

THE HUNTER’S HAD A SOLAR POWERED CHRISTMAS WREATH HANGING ON THE FRONT OF THE CABIN.

AND IN THEIR OWN YARD A BEAUTIFUL CHRISTMAS ANGEL.

OH YA, I FORGOT…

ANOTHER REASON FOR OUR TRIP TO THE CABIN WAS, THAT I FORGOT MY KINDLE IN NOVEMBER ON THE BEDSIDE TABLE. I KEEP MY MEDICARE CARD AND OTHER INSURANCE CARDS IN MY KINDLE. GETTING OLD AND FORGETFUL LEADS TO ALL KINDS OF ADVENTURES.

BACK ON THE DESERT, AND “SUNNY & 77”……
