We've made it to Tucson and have settled in our little condo. When you first rent a place you are never sure if it's really going yo be like the photos, but this place is great and is all that it was advertised to be. It's going to be a comfortable place to spend the next 2 weeks. This is the view from our screened porch. There's a great hiking trail that starts just behind that fence and goes way up that canyon. We love this hike because we can do as much of it as we want and the views are great all the way up. Yesterday morning we started our vacation with a hike up the canyon. It's the first time that I've really exercised since January with the 2 cross-country trips and 10 sick days in between. It's not a terribly steep trail so we did about 45 minutes out and 45 back. That was a good start to the trip. We don't usually see many flowers in the desert but these were a nice surprise.
The afternoon was spent watching the Eagles beat the Commanders and I can't wait for the Super Bowl in 2 weeks! I don't have a crochet update today but will in a couple of days. We're heading our for a hike this morning and might spend the afternoon by the pool with a good book.

it looks really nice. I love cactus country - don't think I would like it year round but I do love long visits.

Looks like a really pretty area to spend a couple weeks. Nice to see flowers (it's -4C and really windy here...hate to think what the wind chill is).

Lovely! Do you have to watch out for snakes or coyotes on your hikes? Enjoy!
