A Sparrow and A Geocache

First, I want to thank my mentors and teachers for correcting my bird identification from yesterday. What I thought was a Cactus Wren in the Saguaro is actually a House Sparrow, evidently, a male. I sit corrected!

One of the regulars in the RV-Dreams chatroom last night mentioned he gets pretty bored reading about how some bloggers report their days..."got up, drank coffee, yada, yada, yada..." Somehow, it never seems to get boring from our perspective! It's true that many of our days are not full of drama and adventures. We think that is a blessing of this lifestyle and being retired. Coming from a politically charged atmosphere in a Human Resources office, I'm pretty happy that I'm not dealing with the drama and adventure that I did in that life. Jim also feels pretty happy that he's not working a rotating shift, being responsible for power supplies to hundreds of thousands of people. Of course, our days may not make for exciting reading every day either, but you never know what we might get into!

A little before noon today I asked Jim if he'd be interested in an easy geocache trip. I also asked Sandra if she'd like to go. I drove and Sandra controlled the GPS. We drove to a picnic area in Tucson Mountain Park, which is a drive of a few miles. The geocache was not far from the picnic area. Sandra led us right to it.

Sandra and I consult the GPS.

I pulled this one out from under the tree.

We check out the contents.

A field of wildflowers in Tucson Mountain Park, near where the geocache is hidden.

This little white flower was discovered in the desert behind the rv park on our walk this morning.

This looks to me like a three-armed fellow with a stub nose.

We relaxed for awhile this afternoon, enjoyed the warm temperatures and the breeze.
