SOMERTON-AZ, MAHAR, & CROCHET RUFFLED PLANT POT COVER; Fortuna-AZ

Yesterday afternoon, we started with "a quick out-of-house drive" through Yuma … and ended up in Somerton-AZ - I asked, & my husband complied.

If we are not going to be coming back to AZ, I wanted one last drive through the small community, mere minutes from the Mexico border. Trump's Border Wall is a bit beyond Somerton, but we'd already been to the Wall several times: so, we turned back towards Fortuna.

Somerton-AZ, was established in 1898 and incorporated in 1918. It's located in Yuma County, about 12 miles south of Yuma. It's also the native region of the Cocopah Tribe.

We both liked the way trees along Main Street had been trimmed - this shape is common with lower land bushes, but it was different up so high: we liked it 😁

Different - but we liked the curbside appeal ;-)

And … as usually happens (no matter where we are in AZ) … somehow we ended up in CA on our return loop to Yuma-AZ 🤔 The roadways here, somehow always loops back via CA. It happens so much, we just laugh about it, now.

A.l.w.a.y.s.; without fail ;-)

Back home, I started supper … and a plant pot cover; while listening to some short reels.

One reel, in particular caught my attention: Bill Mahar commenting on the CA wildfires that have laid entire communities to waste because of nonsensical political drama.

I haven't given Mahar an ear since the 1st obama coup: he went overboard with praise for that moronic "black messiah".

It was refreshing to hear him talking logistics again without the trump derangement twaddle:

It's refreshing to hear Bill making sense, again.

It would appear he is done with the obama nonsense, and is truly and logically {woke} now ;-)

Supper was deliciously easy-peasy … 

Supper was started; quick & easy.

And a new crochet design was satisfactorily worked out. The colors are out of season, but that's what I had to work with, so that's what was used.

Now that I have worked my creation, and written the notes down: I can make more. In solid colors 👍
