Gladiolas from Trader Joe's

Day 41

Sun Devil Stadium from the lightrail stop I wait at Monday evenings.

Day 39

Ally and Jim headed through AZ on their cross country tour. So nice to see them!

Day 38

Day late...whoops! Coor Building. Planes from Sky Harbor fly over it, so you can see "Explore" from the sky.

Day 37

Mesquite High School...Home of the Wildcats. Spring open gyms on Tues and Thursdays.

Day 36

The gym I go to in Mesa. I forgot to pack a t-shirt today, so no gym for me but I discovered this in the lockerroom. Nicely done, me!

Day 35

My students were writing citations up on the board. There was an open space and they filled it with this...

Day 33

Sunflowers I bought with the books scattered across my dining room table.

Day 32

Rainy day...that's a rarity here, so it's a nice treat!

Day 30

Riding the lightrail at 8:30am...the driver says every morning, "Welcome to the sardine train."

Day 29

The Writing Center at Chandler-Gilbert Community College, aka where I tutor a few times a week.

Day 28

I made these pillows over Spring Break. Please notice fringe and zippers! But, don't look too closely because there are some problems!

Day 27

Grading: the bane of my existence. (That's the strawberry timer my mom gave me. I set it so I don't spend too much time on one paper.)

Day 26

Reading at the pool. It broke 100 degrees on Friday and has been in the high 90s all weekend. It is supposed to cool down (high 80s) before summer arrives in May.

Day 25

Salsa Challenge at Tempe Beach Park with my friend Dawn from tutoring and a bunch of her friends.

Clippers vs Suns at US Airways Arena with Kyndra, Brandon, Emily, and Jason
