March moments in pictures

Let’s do all of March in one big post! I am so far behind. I have a number of random pictures that by themselves don’t seem to be enough for a post (although I recognize my posts are usually much longer than what social media encourages). I just want to get caught up!

First up, pictures of Steven’s neighbor’s leaning tree in early March:

The following Monday the power company came out to deal with it. Whew!

Meanwhile, in Tucson, Laura was enjoying our pool in early March:

This was a couple of days after I almost, but didn’t quite, adopt a puppy. She was so cute! But it really wasn’t a good time to adopt a puppy.

Oh my gosh that puppy was so nearly irresistible. But she was destined for someone else. Meanwhile, Biska was in a cone for what seemed like forever because she wouldn’t stop scratching at the top of her head with her back paws.

Biska is finally better now.

John’s been in Albuquerque a lot, but one weekend he came home and we had a fun time buying stuff.

Here’s a painting my new friend, Barbara, in Tucson did. She’s teaching me a little bit about art, but I don’t think I’ll ever be this good. She’s a professional artist.

Here’s a hilariously weird huge prickly tree on campus:

And startlingly vivid sign on campus:

My maps fit perfectly in the built-in shelves along the side of the office closet! I was so ridiculously happy. Those file folders are really old and I had exactly the right amount for these particular closet shelves. It made my day. But I’m so tired of moving! And we’re not done yet.

We’re still remodeling too. Here we are having cement poured. This is connecting the family room to the laundry room, via the back porch.

Our contractor is pretty much AWOL these days, but he shows up occasionally and does something. A couple of weeks later, when the cement was obviously completely cured (it only takes a day or two), John gave up on our contractor ever returning, and just took the forms off himself. Mid-April update: they are finally back and tiling it. A month later!

Here’s an owl on the power lines behind our house. We hear him every night, and sometimes we hear the female return his call. You can tell the female because her hoot is slightly higher in pitch.

Here’s a couple of pictures of spring flowers:

That’s all for March. I’ll get going on April soon!
