Our new home in Green Valley, a very nice townhouse in Alpine Circle. Curious name for a street in the desert, but it's OK. Not quite completely moved in, as there is more to be delivered. But it's shaping up nicely and I'll post some photos later.
It was the first place we looked at. Visited many more, but came back to this one. It had been remodeled by the previous owner who pushed out the back wall, using some of the patio space to make the interior more spacious. We have a bit of a view of the Santa Rita Mountains, my favorite mountains in the US. We have a pair of Gambel's Quail, who have produced the teensiest, tiniest little quail babies imaginable, so cute!
We've joined the Green Valley Recreation facility, which is mandatory anyway. Soon we'll take advantage of the numerous rec centers around town, pools, exercise rooms, class rooms for painting, jewelry, ceramics, on and on.
Arizona is well known for the summer heat. It has been well over 100 degrees since we got here. 112 is the highest yet for me! Today though, very nice at 98! Monsoon season has arrived, and afternoon storms seem to pop up out of nowhere. It is a beautiful sight, and the resulting cool air is fabulous!
I hope my friends in Bloomington/Normal will read this and let me know how everyone is doing.
