A little cool today






... but it's snowing where we were a year ago! Hopefully we'll get some moisture out of this, but probably not much.

Mostly we have sun, which - as you can see in the bottom picture - Sophie and Scooby Doo take maximum advantage of!

Fruit trees are about midway, a couple are past their prime, a couple others are just coming in. Deer have been pruning the lilacs ... the blossoms must be especially tasty!

Buds are just showing on the cholla behind the house and on some of the prickly pear cacti out front. There were similar buds that I photographed on cacti in the Phoenix area about three weeks ago, so I guess here at 6,300 feet elevation on the north side of Silver City, our Spring is about three weeks later than Phoenix, at least this year.

I guess it's theater week for us. We went to see "Harvey" at the Seedboat Center for the Arts Theatre last night. The Seedboat is a gallery we like on Yankie Street and it has an enclosed courtyard with sculptures and other art placed around it. The theater has just been fixed up next door to the gallery, opening onto the same courtyard; I understand the theater can double as a recording studio, too.

The second picture from the bottom shows the performance area ... theater-in-the-square. It doesn't seat many, so it's quite an intimate setting. No problem hearing the actors!

The middle picture shows the courtyard during intermission ... outdoor on a pleasant evening, the moon overhead, art works here and there, plus good company. Really nice setting!

The casting was perfect; the characters were so well done! I don't know if this was The Ragin' Thespians Company's first performance, but I hope it won't be the last we'll see!

And tomorrow we go to see "Annie" at the WNMU theater. More on that later.

Next week we're off to the Mayo again; Sandy has appointments on Wednesday. That should end the uncertainty about treatments, etc. tv
