I have been looking forward to having my own beautiful Red Bird of Paradise flowers in the courtyard. Well, it’s about to happen. I will have more images of this beautiful (and my favorite) shrub’s flowers soon. Click on the image to enlarge.
Fathers Day Cookout
We planned our cuisine for Fathers Day to consist of a “surf and turf” menu. I went to the butcher counter in the local supermarket earlier this week and asked for a couple of beef tenderloin steaks and some fresh Atlantic salmon filets.
We baked the salmon and some potato wedges on the outdoor grill with the hood closed. When they were mostly done, I opened the hood and put the steaks on the grill. We like our steaks medium rare, so they were on the grill for about twenty-five minutes.
We served the entree with the aforementioned potato wedges, baby green peas and asparagus spears (lots of fiber y’know). A sumptuous Fathers Day meal, indeed. 🙂
The Democrats’ Economy
“We own the economy. We own the beginning of the turnaround and we want to make sure that we continue that pace of recovery, not go back to the policies of the past under the Bush administration that put us in the ditch in the first place.” — DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman-Schultz
Water Lilies in Arizona
We took a drive today to visit the Shrine of St Joseph of the Mountains in nearby Yarnell, AZ. There is a Koi pond in the shrine where these pretty water lilies were in bloom today. Click on the image to enlarge.
Arizona Gazanias
I’ve always loved the gazanias that we had in California. Maybe I will bring some of them back to Arizona on our next trip out west. We were at the nursery in town today and saw these in bloom. I wasn’t sure how they would do in this climate, but, as you can see, they are just fine! Click on the image to enlarge.
FEED ME!
I found this to be very funny. FEED ME SEYMOUR!
Funny and sad at the same time. Green initiatives continue to paralyze American businesses and personal freedoms.
Flag Day in Wickenburg
Several times during the year, the Wickenburg Chapter of the American Legion places US flags in the historic downtown area and along the two main drags through town. Today, Flag Day, we ventured out for several errands and were delighted at the patriotic display. This image was taken along East Wickenburg Way (US 60) near old downtown looking west.
