I walked with my friend Ornella at 8 this morning. Over our 3 mile walk, we stopped several times to snap photos of the mountains. They were absolutely beautiful, frosted with snow under clear blue skies.
After lunch, Papa and I drove up to Catalina State Park to hike. Sutherland Wash was running. The sound of running water was like music! We hiked about 3 miles, oohing and ahhing, along with everyone else. It was interesting how many people stopped us to ask if we live in Tucson, and when we said, "yes," their reply was, "aren't we lucky!" Seeing snow frosted mountains and hearing a rushing creek are not common, but we are very fortunate in Tucson to be within sight of big mountains, and within minutes of great hiking!
