Papa is recovering at our Tucson house. He feels a bit better each day.
The recovery time is estimated at 6-8 weeks, so there won't be
much shoeing of horses, roadwork, or other strenuous ranch activity!
Tucson has been blessed with more than normal summer rain and it shows in our yard, with the saguaros plumped up, and the trees covered with lush leaves. The showstopper in our yard is the bird of paradise. It is growing in front and back of our house, so we get a glimpse each way we look.
