“It’s already dark,” he said. “Why can’t we wait until tomorrow to go touch the water? I’m exhausted and starving. I don’t even know if I care enough about starving to not just crash.”

Those poor little pieces of ribbon look like they are working so hard…
Continue reading “L is for Lacing”B is for Barefoot
I love being barefoot, but I don’t tend to go outside barefoot very often at home. There are too many thorns, rocks and creepy-crawlies around that make it a lot safer to be wearing shoes.
Continue reading “B is for Barefoot”F is for Flowers
I love flowers. From the big splashy ones to the tiny cactus blooms that you can miss if you don’t catch them on the few days they are around.
Continue reading “F is for Flowers”J is for July Prompt
Yes, I know I’m late with the prompt. It was already the end of June and the holiday weekend before I realized that I forgot about it. Blame it on summer…
Continue reading “J is for July Prompt”H is for Holiday
It’s a holiday here in the US, so we are off work for the day. Why did I pick a picture of Vegas to celebrate?
Continue reading “H is for Holiday”Socks
Sometimes, it’s all about the socks.

“Why do you always choose the cup over the cone?” He hands me my ice cream as we head out to the parking lot. Across the street is the park where there’s some shade to enjoy our treat.
Continue reading “I is for Ice Cream”S is for Sneeze
We are lucky to have minimal allergies. Only a couple of medical ones that are really easy to avoid and the dreaded seasonal allergies that the rest of the world has as well.
Continue reading “S is for Sneeze”M is for Monsoons
The summer rains in Tucson are monsoons. There is some dispute as to when they start (June 15-September 15, or 55 degree dewpoint for 3 days in a row), but they are always a topic of conversation here.
Continue reading “M is for Monsoons”S is for Stretch
A soft throw, a very little animal print chemise and a well-timed stretch…

“What are you doing?” She turned and stared at him in disbelief.
“I’m chopping broccoli, why?”
Continue reading “M is for Macrame”V is for Vegas Skyline
When we took our last trip to Vegas, we had to take advantage of the view outside the window for a picture or two.
Continue reading “V is for Vegas Skyline”C is for Christmas in June
Sure, Christmas in July is a big thing. Actually, I think it’s only a big thing with retail companies trying to create a reason to buy stuff, but maybe that’s just my opinion.
Continue reading “C is for Christmas in June”S is for Solstice
Yesterday was Summer Solstice. It’s the “official” start of the summer season even though we’ve been having summer weather for over a month here.
Continue reading “S is for Solstice”I is for Imagination
He came inside from pulling some weeds and collapsed on the couch. “It’s brutal out there today.”
Continue reading “I is for Imagination”D is for Dinner and a Movie
Date night in Tucson–a glass of wine and the smallest of mini-skirts. You are a lucky many, Snake.
Continue reading “D is for Dinner and a Movie”W is for What About This One?
I do enjoy doing a good fashion show for Snake…
Continue reading “W is for What About This One?”H is for Heat
I love Tucson in the winter. Just chilly enough for coats and we get the occasional snow. We can go to the mountain for lots of snow and that’s about 45 minutes to the top.
Continue reading “H is for Heat”Music is my thing
I tend to tie music, songs, musical events, etc. – to the things that they happened around. I can hear a song and instantly be at that spot in time, that physical location. I get flooded with sounds, sights, smells, even the temperatures of the moment.
Continue reading “Music is my thing”M is for Milestones
It seems like we all plan for the milestones in life. Obviously, they are important and worth celebrating–weddings, graduations, birthdays, anniversaries, promotions, etc.
Continue reading “M is for Milestones”I is for Italian
While we eat a lot of Mexican food, there’s something about Italian food, too. Am I right?
Continue reading “I is for Italian”Sometimes, it’s all about the music
I mean, can you really not respond to Warrant’s “Cherry Pie”? I don’t think it’s humanly possible. Some beats and lyrics just combine to be perfect in the moment and BOOM! There you have it.
Continue reading “Sometimes, it’s all about the music”R is for Racing Stripes
Nothing like ramping up the heat on some stripes…

He got the text to unlock and put down the blanket while I was in the tub. Of course, I hadn’t given him any indication that it was a play night earlier.
