Tucson - First 2 weeks in April

Tucson is under a stay at home order and requiring social distancing.  It has become easier since a lot of people have headed out.

 

Not much to do except ride the bike around the Park.  It is just over 4 miles if you go up and down every road.  Cactus are starting to bloom.

One night around 5 p.m. we had visitors behind us on the wrong side of the gate

 

 They are nasty critters,  I keep my distance as 

I don't want to get charged by one again!

Thank goodness for access to the bike trail across the wash.  Don't know what I'd do with our morning 2-3 mile walk.

Birds are out in the early morning before it gets hot.

There are always hummingbirds hanging out on the tops of trees

This plump quail was on the railing.

Not sure is this a Coopers or Gray Hawk

 On the bike trail there is a dirt path that leads through memorial plantings.  This one had some driftwood like wood placed around it.  I have added onto it every time I walk by. 

We still see Coyotes in the wash

Probably because there are so many rabbits around

 We had a Pink Super Moon this month

and what looked to me like an Easter Lamb

 No Easter celebrations this year so I painted some Easter Egg rocks

and dispersed them along the trail Easter Morning

I only was only able to make 10 as it poured rain Saturday.  The next day all were gone except two I placed at the sculptures - one by the rabbit and the other by the Turtle

Staving off total insanity by painting rocks.  

First I find rocks to make flowers with.

Glue them on bigger rocks

and then paint them and write sayings on them

Even managed a butterfly and dragonfly

I had made this one for friends who live in the mobile home section of the Park and always invited us to happy hour.

They wanted one to take home to Wisconsin for their Garden - the butterfly is real one I found and have been carrying around for awhile.

Only 2 more weeks before we head up to Utah.  I confirmed with the B&B in Escalante that they still want us to work.  Thank God I had found this job back in December as I don't know where we would go now with most Parks and Campgrounds closed.
