Of course i should have known better. A birder never switches off - well hardly ever. Just for one or two things.

I love the photos, but just thinking about Phoenix makes me have heat stroke! :-) It's been SOOO hot here today (well, the last several days) and I hate it when it gets like this. You go outside in your flip-flops and can feel the tops of your toes sizzling! The Chewbaca art is great! Loved the swan and the goslings, and well, it's all so great. I can't believe I had Abert's Towhees in my yard before you did...that makes me happy to have a meaningful first of any kind! :-) You blow me away with everything else. All my best this week!

It has taken my brother years to get that costume stuff down but he loves it. It's his way to deal with the stresses of life. I'll let him know you said so. If you come to Phoenix and have a bit of time and want company, let me know. I know how trips can be so no stress. But the offer is there. All my best.

It's so very well manicured, plenty of places to sit, and seems somewhat quiet compared to other areas of downtown. I'm hoping to return to Phoenix in the next few months. I've been gone almost five years. I'll have to get to know the town all over again! Oh, and by the way, your brother's costume is amazing. Had to believe it wasn't crafted by a professional.
