February 12, 2017 Ajo, Arizona

It was in the 80’s yesterday when we arrived in Ajo. Today it is rainy, windy and low 70’s.

The bus at the Ajo Heights RV park when the sun came out briefly. We also got this lovely rainbow over the park with the brief sun.

John is fixing the wall sconce on my side of the bed. He went to the hardware store for parts and came home with this lovely valentine bouquet for me.

I know you all are dying to see photos of my bruises from my bike crash. I am only showing this one from my hip where I fell on my camera that was in my pocket. The bruise is the shape of the camera. Here are the last two cameras I had. The tough cameras are not tough enough for me, but I break everything I touch anyway. These cameras are rated at the best rugged waterproof point and shoots.

This is the new camera. It even has a cute little LCD screen that flips up for selfies. That will probably be the first thing I break off it. . . the ad on the Olympus website.

The current masterpiece is almost done, but the thread kept breaking and the beads spilled and I got frustrated so I will finish it later. Meanwhile I am working on a new one. I am making some beads to go around the glass center. It would go faster if I could actually see the holes in the seed beads.

Scenery in Ajo.  There is the Cabeza Prieta wildlife refuge around Ajo that is breathtaking. The mural on the coffee shop. The night of the lepus is a movie filmed here. It is about giant mutant rabbits. Lepus is latin for rabbit. The movie is so bad it has a cult following. The movie failed among other things because they could not make rabbits scary!

In another life my name was Sue Flowers. This could have been my trading post. A nice mosiac  welcome sign to Ajo.

Sunset from our backyard. Two more murals around town. The top one is at the newspaper and book/music store. The bottom on is the same upside down as right side up. This is acutally a picture of a picture of it at the visitors center.

John cooking some of the medicinal steaks for dinner. The ones that I had on my bike fall wounds. He is also making mushroom rissotto.  The Welcome to Ajo sign on the other end of town.
