It doesn’t appear that the groundhog saw his shadow, as it has been so cold for most of the country. Speaking of cold, we have all had colds in the household, Kaya still has one and I hope she will get better soon. We have decided that we won’t be moving to South Dakota. I forget how much we love living in the West. When I can return to work full-time and the little girls are “little girls” and not “babies,” perhaps we will move into Sedona again.

Sedona is only a half hour away but it is the reason we came to Northern Arizona. Our little town of Clarkdale is sweet but it is not close enough to the National Forest and substantial hiking trails. We have the Sycamore Wilderness near us but you need to have a truck to get to the trailhead.
