Arizona's numbers have risen drastically two weeks after the big weekend gatherings :-( Stay safe and keep sharing what you're up to!Jodee Gravelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02247098923871155546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9062337474734435253.post-34728575714747794592020-05-29T20:33:10.597-07:002020-05-29T20:33:10.597-07:00Weren't the "cooler" days a nice rel...Weren't the "cooler" days a nice relief. We were able to put in some miles on trails which was so nice. But like you said, it is probably our last for many several months. The saguaro are so pretty blooming. We are seeing the same thing with masks.

The ranks of those wearing masks is growing thinner all the time, although it depends where you are. We went to Trader Joe's this morning and everyone was masked. Fry's and Safeway, are in the 50 to 75% range respectively. Home Depot limiting entry, but masks are scarce. Lisa is right, we're headed for a spike....Jim Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03670581493715112773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9062337474734435253.post-91940899293147728972020-05-26T17:02:21.788-07:002020-05-26T17:02:21.788-07:00I love saguaros, with or without blooms, but the f...I love saguaros, with or without blooms, but the flowers do dress them up a bit!<br />It would make us feel better if everyone wore a mask, but that isn't going to happen unless the virus goes crazy now that things are reopening.

We haven't seen many masks -- more social distancing, though, which is nice -- on our spring travels. We've been in areas of very low infection, so people are feeling pretty insulated, I think. The newspaper editorials say they hope visitors to the state will abide by the 14-day quarantines and other precautions (we do). Stay safe and happy!Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10318185322926427181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9062337474734435253.post-89573832679550904892020-05-26T09:14:08.697-07:002020-05-26T09:14:08.697-07:00I've always wanted to see the saguaro in bloom...I've always wanted to see the saguaro in bloom...but we've never been in Arizona in the summer.
