Out and About 

We've encountered some interesting sights the past few days. To borrow a line from the film The Wizard of Oz in which Dorothy states "Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore." so I could say "I've a really good feeling we aren't in Minnesota anymore." 

Take for instance these discoveries on our walks 

Paper cups placed on top of cacti in yards to prevent freezing. The temperatures have dipped a bit below freezing.

Imagine having a grapefruit  tree in your yard!

Santa Rita Mountains in the background and such interesting vegetation everywhere.
