We arrived Sunday early afternoon. Unloaded the car and went shopping for food and water. When we got back we had a visiter coiled up in front of the steps. Yep, a rattle snake, not a big one (just about 2 feet long) but big enough to keep us ay bay until I dispensed with it. Because IT IS ILLEGAL TO KILL RATTLE SNAKE IN AZ I won't tell how I dispensed with it, I'll leave that to your emagination. Anyway we are settled in for the season.
I hope all is well were you are spending the winter, oh by the way the temp when we arrived was in the mid 80s.
