Pollinators in action this rainy Arizona morning!

Fermenting is fun! It's been quite a while since we've made any wine, cider or mead and our empty wine refrigerator has been a constant reminder of that. Ryan surprised me the other day by coming home with supplies to make a fun fruity wine and a wildflower mead. It's certainly not an instant gratification process, but it's so rewarding when we finally get to taste the fruit of our labor. I am already eagerly anticipating it!

Living in the desert it is always so hard to drink enough water and stay well hydrated. That is why I am absolutely hooked on my fancy water. Infused with fresh fruits and herbs, plain old water becomes a tasty, refreshing treat. Today I'm enjoying lemon and basil. What flavors do you like to infuse in water?

Back when my boy was just knee high to a grasshopper.

Pretty intense lightning storm tonight! Watching from my back patio.

Hope everyone is having an amazing 4th of July weekend!

Just came home to this. It must be prime day.

I created this artwork today, from a photo I took of bees in a hive, in honor of the start of National Pollinator Week. Bees are powerful pollinators who account for nearly 90% of the World's Food Supply. While the human population continues to grow, bee numbers are on a steep decline. This is detrimental to both their future and ours. Not to mention,, honey makes mead and we love mead!

Trying to get the perfect Father's day gift for Ryan. With all the rat issues he would really love a feral cat or two. If anyone has any barn cats they want to get rid of, please let me know. We will give them a good home with plenty of fresh food. If you have any of the six-toed variety even better. I hear they are good mousers!

The sunrises in San Felipe are so spectacular that we often forget to stop to enjoy the sunsets there as well. While out on a trail on our last visit, we stopped at a hilltop overlooking the beach and this was the view we were blessed with. The setting sun dipping below the mountains to the west turned the sky to gold.

Where will you spend your summer vacation?

HavasupaiReservations.com has announced that tourism has been suspended until February 2022. We are already rescheduled for May 2022. Hopefully they will reopen before then. But we understand the importance of keeping the members of the tribe safe. While this is a beautiful place for us to visit, it is their home. ❤
