We Moved!

So many people have been asking me why I haven’t been posting here lately. Actually, no one asked, but I’m sure they would have. It is winter in Sedona and there wasn’t a lot of flower related content. Oh and also we moved!

I Thought It Was a Room With More Baby Bears!

We find places to stop and hike around and enjoy the long journey to our destination. On our way home from Santa Fe we made three stops and the Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona was one of them. I had been to the park before when…
