Why - why not??

 This week it was time to change addresses so we decided to go to Why - a small community, forty miles north of the Mexican Border, and west of Tucson.  Here we planned on meeting our friends, Chris and Rick.

Before we left, we had to have a "last supper" with Dawn and Kirby.  The menu was bush pies which is always an enjoyable treat.

The road gives a great view of Picacho Peak which in days gone by, it served as a landmark for travellers due to it's unique shape. 

And of course the landscape varies from short shrubs to stands of cactus, most notably the Saguaro cactus.

Once settled I always like to put out a game camera as most nights you can hear the coyotes howl so we know they are in the area.  I did get some photos and fortunately they were from two different nights otherwise, some coyote may have had bunny stew.

We try to go for a daily walk and you never know what you might find.  One day we came across this monument which was a tribute to someone or something - perhaps a pet.  There was not inscription but it certainly is unique. 

Then another day, we found a spot where someone had obviously spent a fair amount of time decorating their little area.  The big old tree had ornaments of all sizes, and kinds, and colours. 

Here too was a tribute which was in honour of a pet. 

Even the cactus give some interesting shapes.

From our site, there is a range of mountains to the west of us which have quite the shape.

There is a community centre which seems to have daily activities.  One night this week it was a jam session - or perhaps better known as amateur night.  Since it is early in the season, the attendance is low and the performers were few.  It was a fun way to spend the evening and one must give these folks credit for doing this.

This morning there was a bazaar with quite a variety of items - new, used, junk, crafts - you name it.

Today was cloudy, overcast, some rain so it was a great day to go into town to pick up a few groceries.  As we wandered down the street, we went into a couple of art galleries.  Some displays were beautiful and some were interesting.  Here was one displaying some Indian Breast Plates which were designed to stop arrows during a time of war - price tag - $1,000.00.

And of course, it's always a good idea to go for lunch and after lunch, dessert.  Today we had churros with some dipping chocolate - yummy!!

Another week has come to a close.  I was thrilled to have a couple of comments the past couple of weeks as it is always great to hear from you.  I hope everyone has a great week and hopefully you will pop by again.
