June in the desert

Enjoy looking at some of our local beauties!














Be sure to notice the crested cactus in the last photo. We found it on the Indian Reservation just south of Valencia on Mission Road. We were not allowed to get any closer. So - sorry for the distance of the shot!

Walnut tree takes on a new life!

Jim cut down a walnut tree in Chatham, Il. about 40 years ago and knew he would do something with the wood one day. Well, the wood was physically moved from 6 different homes of ours it is now beautiful furniture! Praise God he lived long enough to really enjoy making us a nice dresser for the living/dining area and 2 side tables. He inlaid turquoise into the knot holes and even make a space to inlay a saguaro shape on each of the pieces! He is amazing!









Carrie Nation Mine Hike in Santa Rita Mountain Range #2

Ok, we still didn't find the mining equipment, but we still had a nice time. It has taken me over a month to get these posted! We will make another attempt to find the mine on 6/19/9 with other friends. At the very least, it is a wonderful place to explore!
