As the old saying goes, I have spoken too soon. A winter storm has moved into the area and heavy snow is predicted for the night. They are saying 3 to 8 inches for us here in Sonoita. I will believe it when I see it, but the snow has begun to fall. If we […]

Recently, several of my friends in other states had commented that they wondered where the Winter was. They live in states that this time of year are pretty cold and snowbound.

December 16, 2006 by 4 Comments
Our little community of Sonoita had some excitement today. A brush fire near one of the main highways through town (Hwy 82) started this morning. It appears someone in a car threw a cigarette out the window that started the fire. With 30 mph winds swirling today, the fire spread very rapidly. Before long, it […]

Time to wind down… I survived a major review at work yesterday. It was the culmination of the past years effort and a relief to have behind me. Its now time to coast through the rest of the year. I say coast because I will only work 5 more days the rest of the year. […]

Monsoon is definitely approaching here in Sonoita, AZ. Yesterday, the tell tale ominiously dark clouds began surrounding us as the afternoon fell away. There were some wonderful displays of lightning as dusk fell. I need to take some pictures and post a few of those storms moving in because it is quite fascinating to watch. […]

Grandmother and Grandpop showed up just fine yesterday. They had an uneventful trip, which is always good. Suzanne picked them up at the aiport and they promptly went to Guilleremos for lunch. That seems to be a tradition for them to eat at that nice Mexican resteraunt. It was an odd day in Sonoita yesterday […]
