Well, our very small, rocky, sun burnt garden yielded some amazing radishes. Kinda odd to harvest in February, but with an 80 degree day what could be better! We are so glad to be out of freezing 60 degree weather (sorry all friends from Chicago and cold climes, but we are now wimps) and finally in the upper 70s and 80s! Wow, look at the front radish, that is county fair quality!!! Its amazing we grew something in this soil. Our kids were amazed to "learn that Radishes don't come from Safeway." Lettuce, onions, peas are all next.
We stole away last weekend and spent the day hiking in Papago Park. This park is located off downtown and has some very interesting rock formations. Located right in the middle of the city it is great place to explore. Loads of mountain biking, hiking, trail running, the Zoo, botanical gardens and more. Fun day.
More at Papago. I love this pictures because it is "Secrists in Real Life." And yes, PHX is green right now!!!! Ok, that may not look very green to the rest of the world, but warm temps and loads of rain has the desert blooming. It is an amazing time of year - wild flowers everywhere and the wide open spaces are covered in grass.
More hiking in Papago. One of the cool caves the girls hiked into.
