First snow! 10_1_21

Posted on October 1, 2021 by Jabo

A big storm rolled through last night and dropped an inch and a half of rain. It was cold enough to collect a few inches of snow up in the higher elevations. And cold enough to have a nice fire in the fire pit this evening. A nice beginning to Fall and I hope it continues!

Another visit and it is much more lush with the rain we’ve had. Lot’s of butterflies, flowers and gurgling streams.

Bees are enjoying the zinnia blooms and the hummingbirds are still fighting over the feeder.

Taliesin West 8_15_21

Posted on August 23, 2021 by Jabo

For my last day in Phoenix, I had the pleasure of visiting the Southwest home of famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Built in 1937, Taliesin West is a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of my favorite subjects of study in Architectural History class in college. Wright designed everything in the home, from the floor plan to the furniture to the lamp shades. While the design is striking, many of the materials used proved frail. For example, the cotton sheets used for roofing are now protected by plastic panels due to the destructive desert sun.
