Lovey Doveys

Not content with halting my playground building effort, by making a nest and laying eggs in my pile of parts, now a pair of doves is building a nest on the shelf of my BBQ grill!

Looks like I won't be grilling for a while.

Unless barbecued dove sounds appealing to anyone.....

Guess I'll just have to paint instead.

Montezuma's Castle

Took a drive on Sunday, up to Sedona, for lunch.

On the way back we stopped off for a look at Montezuma's Castle, which has nothing whatsoever to do with Montezuma.

Nice place for a picnic, however.

Bird's nest

While hunting for Easter eggs in the garden, the kids stumbled upon a dove sitting on a nest of 2 eggs.

She has built it on a chair round the side of the house, where I had put all the parts to finish the playground structure.

So now I can't get that done till after the babies have flown the coop.

The baby birds. Not our children.

I doubt anybody's been keeping up, but here's what happened. Ifn you want details, check my tweets.

SWMBO got a new job in Scottsdale, AZ. We moved over to MIL/FIL's place at ChristmaKwanzaaChannuka. I drove a U-haul with the insides of our house, and HerOutdoors drover the kids.

Once we settled down, we bought MIL/FIL's house and they are moving northwards. The sale closed this week, so it's now officially owned by our bank.

Its a lovely big house with 12' high walls, 4 toilets (inside) and a big back garden (outside). Once I find my camera-USB cable I'll get pics uploaded.

Transport is an issue, and SWMBO takes the car, so I hafta borrow MIL's to go out. Starbucks is 3 miles away. Can you believe that?

New Desert Colour Scheme.

Do you like it? Now that we are in Arizona, I needed a more appropriate colouer scheme.

And, one of these days, pics of the house we just bought. My first hoose!
