Warming up in Winter

Wow, in a week, we have gone from five frigid days, bottoming at 17 degrees at night, to highs now of 75 in January. I don't know what the plants are "thinking", but we really can't complain about sunshine and light warmth in January. We have been playing a lot since the warm-up--walking on Mountain, bicycling in the neighborhood, and enjoying time outside with visitors. Lots of photos to sort through but here is one, taken at Hacienda Del Sol, from the patio where we were having lunch with our friend, Gail. You can see the moon in the turquoise sky, just right of the stately saguaro.
