So...after the posting from a couple of days ago--YES we will be moving next month, to a townhome at the foot of the Catalinas, practically at the entrance to Sabino Canyon!
I went yesterday afternoon to sign the lease, and here's a little cell-phone view of the walkway that leads to our soon-to-be front door:
The fountain and the red-tile-roofs under the leafy canopy (sycamore trees) feel vaguely Provençal to me...Our friends (who will be our next-door neighors) as well as the landlord say that javelinas often come through to drink at the fountain. Javelinas are southern Arizona's 'wild pigs;' technically not pigs, but 'collared peccaries:'

Strange proportions, eh? but cute babies...just don't cross a mad parent javelina; their tusks can inflict some damage...we're looking forward to some javelina photos of our own; it'll be fun to watch them while having morning coffee on the patio...
Now, back to grading final exams; tomorrow is the last day of school here in Tucson...
