This winter was exceptionally dry in Arizona, and we always look forward to the Summer Monsoons. Well, they're here, and the seven day forecast shows rain every day this week! Enjoy the Rain!

~ FSBO With Deer (Oh Look! It's real!) ~ Two houses down from us, the folks have their house for sale. As my Darlin' and I pulled out of the garage onto the street this evening around 5:30, we were startled to see Momma Mule Deer standing in their front yard. I turned cattywampus in the street and rolled down the window to take some pictures. (We don't have much traffic in our foothills community, Tucson Estates II. Nobody cared that I was sideways in the street.) Momma's twins were in the side yard, munching away on the yellow fruit of my neighbor's prize cactus! ~ The Twins ~ _____________________ I'm Mike in Tucson, your preferred Tucson Arizona Mortgage Lender.

~ Another World In The Tucson Mountains ~ There's no other description that fits so well... The Tucson Mountains after dark are another world. The sense of quiet peacefulness is created by the ridge of ancient volcanic rock separating me from the City of Tucson. Here there is the yip of a coyote enjoying that same moon that tugged me away from the comfort of my home in Tucson Estates II. The yips crescendo into a chorus of answering coyotes, howling at that big yellow moon. Tonight, the TV is off. I didn't bring my I-Pod. Give me, tonight, what drew Muir to the wilderness, and Thoreau to Ralph Waldo Emerson's woodland cabin near Walden Pond. Give me the sounds and quiet beauty of God's nature, and I'm content. Today, I took four new loan applications for four separate buyers aro...

The point of owning a home is enjoying it. That's especially true for me here in Tucson. Early esterday morning, I was sitting on the ramada drinking coffee, eating breakfast and being quiet so I wouldn't wake my Darlin'. (Our bedroom opens on to the ramada.) Birds where singing, the day was ahead of me, and all was right with my world. Backyard concertA male Cardinal was providing a concert, just singing his heart out. I couldn't see a female Cardinal anywhere. Then I zoomed in and found the object of his affection. Love is where you find it, I guess. Battery Charger update: I still don't have the battery charger for my new Panasonic Lumix, so I'm making do with an older camera. It's not as fast, so the photo isn't as crisp, but the Cardinal and the Dove didn't seem to mind. :)...
My Darlin' looked at the photo above and commented that it looks like a Kangaroo! Nope. I'm taking photos with my old camera, and it's slooow... The temperature this afternoon topped 105 degrees down in the Tucson basin, and was close to 100 here on the slope of Golden Gate Mountain. The doe knew where she could get a long, cool drink. I opened the slider in the kitchen four inches, and the doe ignored me. She just kept drinking that cool, clear water! Emboldened, I opened the door a little wider and stepped out on the ramada. She twitched one ear toward me, and I got a close-up. Then she bolted! Our little community of Tucson Estates 2 snuggles right up on Tucson Mountain Park, which in turn abuts Saguaro National Park West. The surrounding Tucson Mountains drain through washes...
