I try to treat each evening and weekend as little slices of retirement because no one is guaranteed a lengthy one at the end of their career. ~ Mike Hammar

“Simplicity is an exact medium between too little and too much. “ ~ Joshua Reynold

Crescent Moon Ranch is a treasured day-use recreation site located outside Sedona, Arizona along Oak Creek at the base of Cathedral Rock...The ranch was built in the late 1800's and changed hands at least nine times over the years...no electricity was available in the area when the ranch was still occupied, so a large water wheel was installed for the two houses which pumped both domestic and irrigation water.

Have a great Tuesday....and as always, thanks for all your visits & comments!!!!

Night's Repose

Night's Repose

“Each morning sees some task begin, Each evening sees it close; Something attempted, something done, Has earned a night's repose” ~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Through the play of light and shadow, vistas change -- hour by hour, season by season. ~ Author Unknown

Roosevelt Lake as viewed from the walkway near the Lower Cliff Dwelling at Tonto National Monument....the Salado people certainly picked one heck of a spot to build their home; can you just imagine waking up to this view every morning???

The well-preserved Lower and Upper cliff dwellings at Tonto National Monument were occupied during the 13th, 14th, and early 15th centuries. The Salado people farmed in the Salt River Valley and supplemented their diet by hunting and gathering native wildlife and plants. The monument is located in the Upper Sonoran ecosystem, known primarily for its characteristic saguaro cactus. For more history & stories about Tonto National Monument, visit: www.nps.gov/tont/historyculture/stories.htm

Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend....have a great week, and as always, thanks for stopping by to visit.
