Looking like a winter wonderland up on Mt. Lemmon this morning! ☃️ We've gotten reports of up to 5 inches in Summerhaven from yesterday's event. ☁️ Clouds will continue to hang around the mountain over the next couple of hours through the early afternoon. #azwx

Lately we've had a visitor showing up in our yard. We think it's the same young deer who bedded down beside our porch as a spindly-legged fawn. His mama would leave him for a few hours, go forage, then come fetch him. Guess he feels safe here. Love meeting my #Arizona neighbors.

#Arizona wildflower update: Picacho Peak State Park is stunning. Fields of poppies spill down slopes forming golden pools around saguaros. This is the beating heart of springtime, a lavish display of color framed by greenery. Go on weekdays to avoid the crowds. @AZStateParks
