Oh My Goodness !

After  4 weeks of tests, waiting and then going back for more tests, waiting

and then waiting 5 days for the last test, results,  I found out for now the 3 masses
 attached to my kidneys and liver are benign !
I still have to come back for testing over the years but for now I am very relived.
yee haw !

 I go back on Thursday for more instructions on what to do.

Having this hanging over my head especially the last weeks has been super hard.

I believe you have to live the hand you're dealt but you don't always have to like it.

Best friend Debbie's  Birthday was coming up.
Since she was just here for a week of Tucson pre-Birthday fun,

 I sent her some flowers right before her day.

When I send flowers  sometimes I order flowers for me.

I sent her Peonies, we both love them, but I sent myself these beautiful Rouge McKaras.

I have never seen these shape or color before.
Plus they came on the same day as the good news.

 .

 .

 .

 .

 Today with daylight I will try to take a better photo.
The color is so intense that I need to find the right spot and light.

Today is a good day.

Last years tomatoes died off or so we thought. We still haven't cleaned 

the side yard yet this year  ( I have been sick too long)  but mamy plants grew back anyways.

The one tomato that is growing is from a dead dried up plant that sent out one green shoot

this year and it has produced lots of tomatoes so far.

We grow them tough in the desert.

.

 It is just growing wild.
You can see the other dead tomato plant in the background.

 I have my own purple rain.
But in a few weeks it will bloom again.

 Saturday sunset.

Just a bunch of Tucson summer stuff.

It will "only" be 111 here today !

Sweaters anyone ?

.

 One morning I walked out past the living room and of course thehamish. To my surprise, the Sage was in full bloom. One day they look like they need water the next day zap blooming.

 This is so much better in person but the sun was so bright that it washes out the colors.

 This plant will bloom several times this summer.

 Somewhat better photo.

Still way to bright.

.

Till the monsoons come it is hot sky sunsets. Some dust in the air and  the sun shining through.

.

This is a photo from the LA Times of a fire in California.

I could have shown a photo of the wildfire that burned down my home in Laguna Beach

but I didn't feel like finding one but this is what it looked like.

 Right now there are 4 fires burning in southern Arizona. Three lighting strikes and the biggest one is man made, started on the border of Mexico and Arizona. 

The government haven't said much but many think it was cartel started 

to divert attention so they can run the drugs and trafficking of women and children 

across the border easier.

.

 When my friend D was here for a few day we found some fossils on my land. 

Exciting !

It was so exciting we ate them !

My poor attempt at humor.

Pickled artichokes are so tasty.

........................

And of course just because I can here is your pretty for the start of the week.

thehamish is not allowed in the kitchen. 

On one end of the island there is a nice sized overhang just right size for a stool.

But I have put a nice rug and their water dish.

Well. . .  thehamish has decided that if he can not come into the kitchen he will get as close 

"into" it as he can. Sometimes I just see his sweet little face peeking around the coroner

while sitting on the rug. It is his safe zone I think.

.

I just love this gud dug.

Here is the pretty to start the weekend.

A quick car photo of a Crested Saguaro near my home.

and. . . 

a "pretty hot" photo of my weather.

Thursday morning weather report.

I want to thank everyone for the comments on last Fridays post.

I alway try to reply to your comments but last week life got in the way of living.

Some of you know I have three autoimmune diseases that have no cure. 

 I found out last week I have a new health problem that is affecting them. 

So more doctor visits and tests with results next week.

I will try to visit your blogs I love reading them ! And keep posting on my blog when I can,

till I/we get my new meds straighten out.

 I will always post Square Dog Friday because it is in their contract.

Plus I have no desire to go to arbitration again. I always lose and get hit with huge penalties.
