I'm a retired educator (teacher/principal) who moved from Northern California to Payson, Arizona in September, 2010.
This blog will chronicle my adventures as I explore a different ecosystem and build my new home.

Plants, Pups and a New Weather Station


These seedlings live in the greenhouse at night and come out for sunshine during the day. We should be able to put them in the garden in 3-4 weeks.


Believe it or not, these pansies made it through the winter.....hard to believe with the amount of snow we got. I might try planting them in the shade on the west yard. They won't make it in the window boxes in the summer.



This is a tomato plant that was getting too big for the greenhouse. The accordion, mini-greenhouse thing-a-ma-bob should protect it from the cold. We were in the 40s at night but we have a few days of 30's coming up.


A favorite spot for Argo.....snuggled up on my outdoor shoes in the garage. He works hard to get the socks out of the shoes.


Cooper is excited. With the warmer temperatures during the day, the lizards are back! He loves to look for lizards in the rocks.


We have a new weather station. It's from Davis Instruments....a Vantage Pro2. It eventually will go on the roof, but Randy is testing it out right now on the south deck. The station says we are getting 30 mile an hour winds but I bet if it was on the roof, the number would be higher. It is SO WINDY today (and dusty). We were supposed to get some rain but it doesn't look like it's going to happen.
