Switching Gears -SWF

Greetings from the Sonoran Desert.  These pictures are from this morning.  I'm back at home in Southwest after being away for a month.

It was wonderful to visit family in New England and now I'm settling back into my familiar, ultra-simple, slow-paced lifestyle of enjoying leisurely sunrise strolls in the desert...

noticing shapes and colors of clouds (such as the glowing heart)...

appreciating feathered friends...

puttering around in the garden...

and thinking about what to make for Sunday brunch and dinner.

See what's happening in the sky around the world at Skywatch Friday hosted by Klaus, Sandy, Wren, Fishing Guy and Sylvia.

Special thanks to Clytie for pointing out the glowing heart cloud (3rd image down).   Check out all the fun Guest Hearts Thurday at Clytie's Random Hearts. :)

Chicopee Sunrise

Chicopee is a charming city located in Hampden County in Western Massachusetts. It is part of the Springfield, Mass. Metropolitan area. These pictures are from one morning in early July, beginning with the view from the upstairs office/guestroom window and then from walking around the neighborhood.

I've been having such fun visiting my daughter, son-in-law and their baby TJ in Chicopee, while my guys take care of the house and garden in Tucson, AZ.  Life is sweet. :)
