The reason for taking our winter break

We went to warm and sunny Arizona

My husband picking a grapefruit

He also picked some tangelos

We visited FLW’s Taliesin West near Scottsdale

I bought a few souvenirs at the bookstore

We saw a Spring Training game – our team won

A very hungry hummingbird

We still have several inches of snow on the ground but Spring is officially here and we know the weather will figure it out soon.

Happy reading!
