The Sun'll Come Out Tomorrow....

Of course the sun will come out, this is Tucson--land of the scorching sun.

But I jest, sort of, because (fingers crossed) we are sending universal vibrational energy waves (wink, wink) to help guide us in a new direction.

Lest I decline to add deets, you'll just have to keep tuning in to this wonderful saga of two wandering Jews in the desert.

Tucson is beautiful.....to many people. With its majestic mountains, gorgeous cacti in all sorts of odd poses and animals running wild. In our backyard, which abuts a (still) undeveloped wash, the views are spectacular. A wash is kind of like a superhighway to all creatures great and not-so-great.

Like these pig-like things called Javelinas (pronounce "J" as "H" and you will be considered real smart), cute little wild bunnies, not cute rattlesnakes, tarantulas (ewwww), scorpions (triple ewwwwww), coyotes that love dining on small bunnies in the middle of the night and oh yes, our last encounter with Pepe Le Pew.

To clarify, Maggie (our pound rescue puppy now in her teens) decided to hightail it after a skunk that managed to get into our "yard o' rocks" the other night. Yup, she got a face-full of that delicious stench, "au de skunk" and we spent the night fumigating her and dousing her with lavender essential oil. Did it help? Maybe a little.

She did the same thing last year, too, my husband reminded me. Since I choose not to remember awful things, of course I didn't remember it at first. I know what you're thinking--early Alzheimer's.....but that's just...what was I talking about?

But the temperature is no longer 100 (hooray!) and we have renewed faith and confidence our next step is getting close...

Tune in..

BTW, so sad about Soupy Sales. We had lunch together everyday for a long time. Well, he was on tv having his, of course. Still, next time you see a full moon, think of it as the last pie Soupy got in the face......
