I always look forward to the spectacular flowers that this cactus in our front yard produces every spring. Once again, it did not disappoint. And it looks like it has a lot of other babies on the way. I just learned its' name today. Trichocereus Schickendantzii....I'm not making that up....who knew?

Here is the the last of our list of five good things to do to help our neighbors during these challenging times.  

Here is idea number 4.

As you may know, Make Sedona My Home is committed to following environmentally practices. I found this guide below to be a very valuable and practical resource.

The human impact on our planet has become real, prompting us to change our ways; otherwise, we face both unintended and potentially permanent consequences. Unfortunately, many people find going green quite expensive, making it harder for them to make the leap. But really, adopting a green lifestyle doesn't have to drain your wallet.

Here is another way to help us all get through the lock down. In my opinion, it may be the most important one so far.

Here is the second in our list of five

Russ Lyon Sotheby's International Realty came up with these suggestions, and I think they're worth passing on for your contemplation. They suggest five things that will make a difference during these trying times. I will post the first one today, and others over the next few days to give time for consideration.     

Jan and I are behaving ourselves, staying in and doing as much as possible online. I won't add to the clutter of information that is already available, but do want to encourage everyone to take care and we'll see you on the flip side.

Somebody sent this to us, and I don't know if it's true. I do know that I'm not as smart as Isaac Newton, but I think there is a lesson here about how we can use our socially distant time productively

Our St Patrick's Day Parade has become the latest casualty of the coronavirus pandemic. Perhaps we can take solace in the fact that parade day will be raining and dreary. Fortunately, there have not yet been any confirmed cases among the local residents.

The Make Sedona My Home team has received special recognition for being in the top 10% of all Premier Agents in Zillow. This is a high honor because only a small percentage of agents have earned the Premier designation, and we are at the top of that list. But more important is the fact that it is a further validation of our commitment to provide excellent service to our clients.

 There has been talk for the past couple of years about a new type of hotel that will be integrated with its beautiful natural surroundings, and it is now close to becoming a reality. To learn more about it, go to this article on the Ambiente Hotel in Sedona.

The barbershop harmony group that I sing with is hosting a guest event on Saturday, February 29 at the Church of the Red Rocks in Sedona. Enjoy some great music, find out how easy it can be to sing in four part harmony, and top it off with some cookies or brownies. How can it get any better than that?
