We've lived in this resort for over 18 years and I continually come across some strange plant I hadn't noticed before. We just need to slow down and view our surroundings I guess. Look at this weird little palm tree ... right beside this huge round tree.
It appears that its growing out of a weird base.
And....I found another dove nestled in a cactus plant.
Arizona snow that gathers on streets and patios for the next couple months.
Out of curiosity, Don and I stopped by Tractor Supply this morning for their Saturday morning tent event. It was GREAT and very interesting. It was sort of like a craft fair but had such interesting booths. Most of them were food items. It was hard for us to decide what to buy as everything looked so good.

I never saw a whole booth devoted to goat products! I'm sending the info to our Activities department with a strong recommendation to set up a farm tour this winter when all the baby goats are born. I had a great chat with one of the owners.
All the vendors seemed like such nice people and proud of their produce. We had such a fun time visiting with so many. I highly recommend you stop in on Saturday mornings...from 8:00 till noon. Better make it closer to 8:00 because it certainly got HOT. Felt sorry for the vendors!
Here's just a sample of some of the booths:

This couple were selling mounted bugs. Of course I found it fascinating!
Don doesn't care much for nachos but I bet he liked flirting with the pretty girls. 😇
Our good friends Jim and Linda Rainer from here in Palm Creek also had a booth there for their CBD products. I told them they could point at me and advertise that I was able to walk through the whole event because of the CBD I had rubbed on my knees and back before leaving home. 😉
