First Sign of Spring

One of the first signs of spring for us in Arizona. The tips of the Ocotillo plant start to sprout. (Pronounced - Oh - Koh - Ti- Yo for all of my friends from the mid-west) This means soon the rest of the plant will green up with little leaves between the spikes and a beautiful red flame-ish flower will bloom at the tips. Ocotillo means candle-flame. My Mac's Field Guide calls the Ocotillo the "Coach Whip" It flowers from March - April so the timing of my buds are right on time! Go Ocotillo!

I need some Feng Shui

I need some Feng Shui help. I have been "working" on my "studio" room for over a month with not much progress. I have too much stuff and don't know what to do with it all. I have a hard time tossing things. If I can just get the clutter out I might be able to breathe..... Goal this weekend - declutter.

Fortune Telling Coffee

I've heard of reading tea leaves and palms but now I am wondering if my coffee can do the same. I see a definite R in my coffee this morning. What could it stand for?.... Relax, Riches... Raise!

Life is Good!

I saw this happy boy from my car today. He looks so happy. Life is good!

Shack on Wheels

I saw this on the way to work the other day. Someone had made the bed of their truck look like an old shack in the hills. I was in my car so it was sort of hard to photograph. I just thought it was very amusing and creative.

Here I am trying to catch up to get a photo.

You can see it has a rusty tin roof, a porch, and decorations on the side .I wish I could have gotten better photos. Very unique.

I had a dream...

I had a dream last night that I was on a white sandy beach with clear blue water. I did not want to wake up. I think I need a Caribbean vacation.

Playing in Traffic

Those of you who know me know that I have a long commute to and from work. I use this time to make phone calls or make lists of things I need to do. Sometimes I just daydream. The other night I decided to see how many vanity license plates I would see on my drive home. This is fairly easy when you are in bumper to bumper traffic but less easy while traffic is moving. Here are the plates I saw on one drive home:

MROOGIE
MSROCHO
HOTSAND
RGA CFO
4 R NOYD (note sure what this means)
WPOSSUM
HRSLUVR
U VETTE ( a corvette of course)
and my favorite -
