Our usual parking spot wasn’t available in our building’s car park. So, higher and higher we went until we hit the top floor of the car park where there were plenty of spaces. Hang on a second—I thought. I can see the whole freaking city […]
Scenes from a Cornville Ranch
At the beginning of September, I took a trip up to Arizona wine country for a few days to a) do some wine drinking and b) get out of the Phoenix heat. A) was achieved. B) barely thanks to a mini heatwave that just so […]
Is summer coming to an end?
It might be a little too soon for me to celebrate, but we had our first sub 100F day earlier this week since summer began. I’ve been able to have breakfast sitting outside. Summer is officially winding down and I can’t wait. Taken last year […]

Arizona, you beauty
I am continually reminded of how effing beautiful this state is. When most folks think of Arizona, their minds immediately go to the desert landscapes and saguaro cacti. But head into the mountains, and you’re met with vistas like this. North east of Payson, AZ […]
