Smokin' Hot

Smoke looms ahead during a controlled burn at Pinnacle Mountain State Park. Doing this actually protects the area from wildfires and maintains a healthy forest. Photo taken from a Taylor Loop neighborhood.

A note about the title: "Smokin' hot" is in reference to the new pre-school lingo my daughter has picked up. A boy in her class said their teacher is smokin' hot. Wonder where he got that! Now he has us saying it all the time! It's just too good. I had to share =)

Wellington Village

Most days I travel along the same three routes (hauling the kids around, grocery, etc.) and the Wellington Village neighborhood is one of them. It is really gorgeous, especially how the homes slope down in nice little rows and nestle against the hills.
