It took them a bit to get used to the routine. Then they settled in!

I do love the desert, I am just missing my family. It was so nice to be so close to them and to be able to visit them so easily. I do hope we get to meet soon.Kathie Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10377224759599266209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773600389646021892.post-30675884584925002682012-09-07T01:28:52.899-04:002012-09-07T01:28:52.899-04:00Gaelyn, I would love to try to get up there.

I have been so busy unpacking but hope to get out to the desert soon. since I live in town, my birding experience is a bit different than when I lived in Sycamore Canyon. We own a piece of land down in Rio Rico and I hope to get down there this weekend!Kathie Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10377224759599266209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773600389646021892.post-15528211570758723602012-09-04T09:48:59.012-04:002012-09-04T09:48:59.012-04:00Hi Kathie

I know I know.....take your time....Welcome back!!! I know I know.....take your time. You're having culture shock. One chapter ends; another begins. I've done it a million times and it's never easy at first but I'm pretty sure you'll fall in love again just like I did. Let me share a personal story. I moved to Tucson in the mid 90's and fell in love....and then I moved away for several years......to return again for the final and last time. It was a bit scary to settle down but I have been so happy with my life here.....and there's so much to look forward to.....and the birding....so wonderful. Once you get settled in, you can travel the Santa Ritas....Montosa Canyon....or the Huachucas....Miller Canyon, Ramsey Canyon.....The Catalinas.....Summerhaven.....the Whitewater Draw in October near Willcox....reports of the Purple Gallinule, a Roseate Bill, Starthroat.....oh my. That's just the tip of the iceberg:) So settle down and get ready for some fun! I'm glad you're back. Sweetwater is open and if you want to go birding, let me know. I'll be at the Butterfly Magic in October at the Tucson Botanical Gardens....Personally, I'm glad you're back. You're going to have a blast! All my best.

Although I have loved your New England posts, I have sorely missed your wonderful desert birds and the very feel of the air in your pictures. Drylands are just so dear to my heart.<br /><br />So nice that you could visit with your son and family and I do sincerely hope that your mother is stable an no longer in any danger.<br /><br />Love and hugs . . .
