Last Day in Eastern Arizona

A morning hike

  Yowsa. The humidity is rising! That is an all-together different kind of heat, and I don’t like it. Mom says it should bring some rain, and we could use it. Like many, we are sad about the North Rim of the Grand Canyon burning, including the lodge, cabins, and visitor center. A huge loss […]

Anniversary Trip to Eastern Arizona

Horses out

  Today is not Monday, my usual day for posting my blog. We were still traveling, and then Mom had a lot of catch up to do. Once again, another first for me as we headed out to Eastern Arizona to celebrate Mom and Dad’s 27th wedding anniversary. I’m not good at math, but that […]

Time in Pine and Payson

Kuma at Green Valley Park

  Dang. We got even more snow up north with this last system, and we might get another storm this weekend. Just crazy! Welcome to spring weather in most parts of the country: unpredictable and volatile. We usually only contend with warm or hot. Enjoy it while it lasts! After our last snow adventure in […]

Kuma Visits the Shoofly Village Ruins

Kuma in the wild

  As promised, I will share about our add-on adventure in Payson from a couple weekends ago. But first, I need to thank mom. She really didn’t feel like helping me today. She’s very sad and tired from a tough weekend. I have no words yet, so I’ll tell you about that another time. After […]

Kuma Hikes the Water Wheel Trail in Payson AZ

Kuma loves bouldering

Eeesh. What is up with this humidity? We left Houston because we like a drier climate. Ugh! Guess that’s what we get with the monsoons; at least we are getting some rain this year. Boy, we could tell driving out to Payson this past weekend. The desert is definitely happy! I’m getting ahead of myself […]
