SSS2–Century plant
The misnamed Parry’s century plant, or Agavi parryi, actually grows for about 25-30 years before producing a 10-18 foot flower stalk that shoots forth at sometimes one foot per day, then dies. Yet it lives on by propagating itself with offshoots called pups.

SSS2-Cloud shadows
On the drive to Laughlin, Nevada (see previous post) the sky was dotted with clouds and the ground with their shadows.

SWF- Black Mountains
On the way to Laughlin, Nevada--not to gamble--ambled along a Colorado River frontage road just north of Bullhead City, Arizona and remembered to look away from the river for a panoramic view of the Black Mountains and sky above. (Post coming soon about this journey.)

Thrifty Thursday-A true collector
My dear friend Berta is a second-hand shopper extraordinaire. Last week I shared a few views of her yard and promised I’d tour the inside of her house as well.
Berta likes color and glass. And what better way to show both off but in a window. This colorful collection sits above the kitchen sink.
The fireplace was closed off years ago (I like the multi-colored brick). I think everything in this shot was bought at a thrift store or yard sale.
I call this the “ladies corner” and the only thing purchased new is the window frame with dried flowers bought at a craft show.
Berta can tell you exactly where each wonderful treasure came from, even where the yard sale was.
And I just love how she displays her treasures.
Even her bathroom window is delightful.
I sure hope to get out to do some thrift shopping soon. What treasures have you discovered? Join in by linking below.
My dear friend Berta is recovering from a shoulder replacement. So if you notice any dust, please know we call it “velvet,” and live with it.

SSS2-Ladder shadow
Not sure how secure that shadow ladder would be to climb. The middle crystal created a nice shadow in this post.

SWF-Cloud shadows
After a visit with fellow bloggers RV Sue and the Bayfield Bunch, and a stop at the Post Office Cafe for lunch, the Yarnell hill called me back home and I saw this on the way.

Celebrate International Women’s Day today. “In 1910 the second International Conference of Working Women was held in Copenhagen. A woman named Clara Zetkin a (Leader of the 'Women's Office' for the Social Democratic Party in Germany) tabled the idea of an International Women's Day. She proposed that every year in every country there should be a celebration on the same day - a Women's Day - to press for their demands. The conference of over 100 women from 17 countries, representing unions, socialist parties, working women's clubs, and including the first three women elected to the Finnish parliament, greeted Zetkin's suggestion with unanimous approval and thus International Women's Day was the result.”
Many women have influenced my life. My dear friend Berta being just one. Today she is having shoulder surgery so please keep her in your thoughts. Thanks.

Remember Whensday - Do you own a skort?
Summer 1970
Oh yes the skort is back, shorts with a flap in the front for the uninitiated. Keep any item of clothing long enough and it Will come back into fashion. I didn’t keep my skort. Oh well.
Sally from The (Mis) Adventures of Karl and Sally has started a meme where the past is remembered through sharing old family photographs and this is #26. I love the idea and hope you will too. So join the fun by clicking here.
BTW, I’m moving out of the little house and back into the 5th-wheel all clean and shinny looking inside and it won’t roll from here until the end of April when I return to the canyon. However, as soon as all the stuff is moved, within the next couple of days, I can feel a road trip coming with the truck camper. Maybe southern Arizona where it’s just a little bit warmer.

Remember Whensday - Hitch 'em up

Aren’t you glad you don’t have to hitch up the team to go to town?
I actually took this photo last year while visiting a friend that collects the coolest stuff.

Remember Whensday - Baseball Mama 1956
The only thing I remember from this scene is the baby buggy. I played with it for many years pushing dollies around, babies, Barbies and trolls.
Yet it’s so me, and I still hold my hands like that. Hmmm....
