Lost Dutchman...

> Good morning. I'm sitting in my chair, under a partially opened awning, in the sun, basking in the beauty of the Superstition Mountains, and watching beautiful birds taking turns on the seed sock I hung in a nearby tree just before dark yesterday. Oh yes, and I'm enjoying a cup of coffee and marvelling at this temporary morning lapse in cold and freezing temperatures :-) This is such a beautiful site I think I could sit here forever.

> Yes, it appears our weather may finally start to warm up (next week) according to the weather forecasting gurus. Two more days of cold and rain and then things will, hopefully, dry up and warm up. Oh wow. Two brilliantly coloured red Cardinals just arrived. One of them is actually orange. Beautiful! There's also a pair of Gila Woodpeckers that are visiting and many more smaller birds.

> If you can see it in the photo, we've rigged up a contraption that includes a walking stick, Rosemary (the rosemary plant), Rosie (the Valentines Day rose), and a hummingbird feeder. Apparently it's working as we've had many visitors so far :-). We're just going to hang out today. Kathy's recovering from a cold and we're here for two weeks so don't feel rushed to accomplish much today. With luck we'll have a fire and a hotdog roast for dinner. 🌭🌭🌭

> Anyway, suffice to say things are very nice here at Lost Dutchman State Park and we are so very lucky to not only be here but to also be in one of the best sites thanks to our friend Donna who kindly booked two last year.
