  1. 1 of the joys of keeping a Perpetual Journal is seeing what happened this week in previous years. Here’s my PJ art of Tucson nature observations 1, 2 & 3 years ago this week. In ‘23 we got snow. In ‘26 the temp’s been over 90°!

  3. We’re starting to see more Queen Butterfly eggs & larvae on our Milkweeds (1st time since May; here they are in my Perpetual Journal). I love watching butterflies’ life cycle from egg>caterpillar>chrysalis>butterfly!😍

  4. Work day, so not much time, but harvested some of my prickly pear fruit to make prickly pear syrup. Brought to a boil and turned off the heat, will go check it later after it has steeped a bit. (In the clean, food pot LOL). #cactus #pricklypear #gardening #tuna #nopal

  5. I took a picture of Opuntia, commonly called prickly pear or pear cactus, on the island of Elba. This flowering plant belongs to the genus Opuntia in the cactus family Cactaceae. The genus is named after the Ancient Greek city of Opus, where an edible plant grew and could be propagated by rooting its leaves.

  7. There’s a unique cactus garden near my home. I love the colors, shadows, and textures in the late fall. 🌵
