Peas in Tucson?

I'm hoping.  The beans I brought down as small plants have already succumbed to the cold mornings.  However, the Golden Peas I started over a week ago are finally sprouting.  They must have enjoyed the 2" of rain we recently got.

Yesterday we went on another new hike.  This one was down near the Desert Museum - about an hour's drive.  The hike of 5 1/2 miles lasted about 3 1/2 hours.  There is a lot of stopping, catching your breath, and eating which makes these hikes a bit longer.  The group of nine over 60s was a very fun group of people to hike with.  One of the men actually had a homemade nametag pinned on his shirt, along with his wife's phone number.  She put this on him in case he had an accident or heart attack.  Some people have professionally made nametags that they wear on their hats.  We haven't gotten to that point, yet.

At one point we could even see the Biosphere.  Look for the arrow.  Our home is only about two miles south of this landmark - but a gazillion miles from this hiking spot.

After we got home and relaxed we went to our second week of Trivia Night.  It's quite the event here on our "cruise ship" known as Saddlebrooke.  This week we actually were able to get three questions right and we met some more fun people from Seattle.
