Tucson Wildlife

Spring is here and so are the quail- yay!  I love to see the babies following their parents around.  Each morning droves of them march through our front yard.  They are so cute!

This rabbit was caught cooling off in the damp soil near my rosemary bush.  Lucky for that rabbit I didn't catch him eating my rosemary or I would have let Indi at him!

Shower Gone Mexican!

Sadly, I can't find any pics of what the shower looked like when we bought this house.  Suffice it to say the master bath in this house was designed in a really stupid way so that we had to remove a wall and door and raise the ceiling before we could re-tile this shower as it was a small dark cave.  We haven't been able to use the shower since we moved back to Tucson so it is awesome to finally have it in working order.  Tavo helped removing the wall, raising the ceiling, and installing some new lights and a decorative beam but the tiling was all Matt.  It took us quite a while to decide on the tile.  We ended up going with this beautiful Mexican talavera and cobalt arabesque tile for the accent and an Italian brick shaped ceramic for the main tile.  It turned out just as stunningly as I thought it would.  Good job, Honey!

Celebrating 1 Year Back in Tucson

This past weekend Matt and I had a special dinner to celebrate our 1 year anniversary of being back in our beloved city of Tucson! 

We prepared our favorite special occassion meal which consisted of gorgeous steaks that Matt grilled to perfection, the best potatoes ever and Bill's mushrooms.  We drank our best bottle of wine, Souverain Cabernet Sauvingnon (winemaker's reserve, 2005) from the Alexander Valley.  We finished the evening with chocolate molten cakes.

Praise be to God for bringing us back to the land that we love!
