Another week of transition as I flew to Chicago on Friday, but this is only for a short trip to see my college-age kids. I continue to thoroughly enjoy Arizona. It is so amazing in its beauty. I’ve said this before, but America is so beautiful.
I have loved Hibiscus flowers ever since I worked in a greenhouse in Minnesota in the 90s. I finally saw them “in the wild” in Florida when I went to my future in-laws the first time. This beautiful Hibiscus in Arizona was
absolutely beautiful.
These teeny tiny flowers line the trails up to the peak that I climbed. They are so small you can hardly see them. The colour contrasts with the brown of the desert.
On Tuesday my host took me to downtown Phoenix. It was such a fun trip and we just saw a small percentage of all of the mural art that is in downtown Phoenix. The talent all of these artists have is inspiring.
I love Bottle Brush flowers. We had two of these plants when we lived in Georgia. The hummingbirds and the bees loved these flowers. The bees were loving this particular plant, but I got in there to snap a picture away from the bees.
Bacopa is a very small flowering annual. I think the little flower should make anyone smile.
Friday I flew to Chicago to see my college-aged kids. It has been a great few days. My flight was early in the morning and I loved the low sun shining through all of the big machinery and objects of the airport. Who doesn’t love a pink luggage tractor.
Yesterday my oldest, Brennig, came over to my parents’ house to make bread. His apartment’s oven is awful and doesn’t keep the heat in, so Grandma’s oven was a much better option. I only wish I could have sampled his bread. He made it for his roommates for supper. I love that he is not afraid to try new recipes and he’s not afraid to make homemade bread.
