A piece of land that has been "for sale" on the north side of Prescott Valley for years is finally being developed. I stopped one day when I saw the earth being scraped and levelled to ask what was coming. A workman told me it was to be a large chiropactric clinic and a couple of other spaces still to be leased. Rats! I (and many others) had been hoping for a long time that Basha's or some other grocery chain would put a store in on this side of town. Not yet, I guess. But if any development is coming, it bodes well for the future. Maybe some day we "back siders" will be noticed and catered to.Monday, February 8, 2010
Finally!

A recommendation
I've discovered a wonderful new blogger. His name is Jerry and he lives in Houston, Texas. He's new to the "art" of blogging but has displayed great talent. Check him out at Gently Said and feel free to tell him I sent you.
Yes, it IS Arizona!
It was raining yesterday with snow predicted above 6,000 feet. I live at 5,100 feet elevation. This is what I found early this morning outside my door.
It looks a good day to stay inside in front of the television set watching the Super Bowl!

Going to the dogs!
You might wonder what these two alert dogs are waiting for.
They're waiting for their turn to enter Prescott's Dog Park!
Let's hope they obey the warning.
The dog park is located in north Prescott and obviously is a very popular spot, for dogs and their owners.
I overheard that this miniature dachsund was meeting other dogs for the very first time. His eyes tell the story.
The park is large and gives dogs plenty of room to roam. But it also provides some necessary items.
During the time I spent there, there was some occasional barking but all of the animals seemed to get along well with each other. I saw no fights but a lot of curiousity and gentle playing.

Side Road intersection construction
In my youth, a side road usually meant an unpaved trail somewhat adjacent to a main thoroughfare.
No longer apparently.
The Mike Fann construction company has been busy for some weeks and will be for many more just creating a Side Road intersection up in north Prescott off of Highway 89-A. Take a look.
Please keep in mind these photos were snapped through car windows while driving by at 60 miles per hour so "they ain't perfect."

Another cat????!!!!!
Well, yes. Y'see, the BRD adopted Jet . . . a black boy kitten awhile back as a companion for her shy girl cat Sheba after her white cat Emma disappeared one day. But Jet turned out to be an A-type that wanted to do nothing but play and chase Sheba. Sheba's life got even worse. So, this week the BRD adopted a third kitten - - Lily. She is a beautiful creature that in turn chases Jet around. He is now somewhat confused. He was the aggressor. Now he's the prey! Still, they seem to be getting along fine and Sheba is allowed to relax. So here are Lily and Jet.
And once more, the adorable Lily. Who couldn't love a face like that?
