March 27, 2024 The last week in March began with highs in the upper 70s. The chokecherry unfurled leaves and spilled flowering racemes like tiny yellow bottlebrushes. The peach trees blushed into bloom almost overnight. The oaks, as they do every year as the canyon dries out, shifted from winter green to the xanthophylls of leaf-fall.
"the two of us watching birds each morning (wearing our PJs and sipping coffee)." Sounds like what I call Birding by Butt, always one of my favorite ways to see a bird, sitting in a chair, enjoying the natural world.
Wow--you are making some impressive improvements/changes! Would love to stop by sometime this year as we have made the big decision to move to a saner place for us as we're getting to old to manage all these acres. We won't be in Cochise County by the end of the year so still some time to enjoy a few more seasons here.

Always love the birds in your corner of paradise.
