Now that the Thanksgiving holiday has passed, it’s time to begin decorating for the Christmas holiday. This is my chili pepper wreath, now hanging on the bedroom door facing the great room. Click on the image to enlarge.

Bishop’s Cap Flower

Bishop’s Cap Flower

Not much to post about following Thanksgiving but this nice flower opened on the bishop’s cap barrel cactus in the courtyard. We still are having second spring here. 80° and blue skies. We’re all wearing shorts like it’s summer. 🙂 Click on the image to enlarge.

Second Spring Continues

Second Spring Continues

After a brief cold spell early in November, we thought that second spring in Arizona was through. Thanks to some favorable weather patterns, the mid 70’s days are still with us and forecast to continue into next week. Meanwhile, the bees are still browsing the flowers on the rosemary ground cover behind the RV drive. Click on the image to enlarge.

Cool Day on the Desert

Bob and Beethoven

I took a few minutes form our busy Sunday morning schedule to take some pictures on a beautiful desert day. Bob and Beethoven came out into the courtyard to see what I was doing when I took this photo of them watching me. Click on the image to enlarge.

I hope everyone enjoys the Veteran’s Day weekend.

I decorated our great room vase with some very pretty Asiatic lilies yesterday. We’re enjoying these colorful and fragrant flowers. Click on the image to enlarge.
