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. March 13, 2020 - Hibiscus I have loved Hibiscus... Continue Reading →

I am also grieving, grieving that my hovering is done and now I have to let them fly.
These last six weeks have been utter chaos. Not anything bad, but a lot of things are taking up precious brain space. I'm a middle season mom and my life feels so out of control right now.
