The Cacti in the Garden

My sister in law has become quite the cacti gardener for someone who once gardened in New York state.

Here are scenes from her garden.



Using FaceTime I shared a walk through the garden with my granddaughters in New Hampshire and they were fascinated by all the varieties of cacti.

More from Arizona

Realized recently that I didn't share all of my photos from Arizona because some were on my phone.

I enjoyed walking while staying with my brother and sister in law so here are some scenes from one of those morning walks.

Take Me Out to the Ball Game

Tuesday was a picture perfect day for a trip to the Bowie Bay Sox Stadium for their game with the Flying Squirrels of Richmond, VA.


The Bay Sox are a farm team for the Baltimore Orioles.  The Richmond team is one for San Francisco.  The Bay Sox's record going into this game was 5 wins, 19 losses.  The Richmond team was just a bit better.


It was STEM Day and College Fair Day at the stadium so the stands were kind of filled with mostly middle school students who paid no attention to the game.  It was a low turn out day for baseball watchers, but the 7 of us from Vantage House enjoyed ourselves.


Amazingly enough the home team won 6-4!  We saw some grand homers!

A fun time was had by all.
