Goodbye Arizona (for now)

It was time to leave Arizona again.  I could tell.  It was getting pretty hot.  And Mom kept looking for Rattle Snakes.  That's when I know it's time to go back St. Louis where there are no Rattle Snakes.  At least we've never seen one there.

But my Arizona friends came out to say goodbye to me.  First my friend Roger RoadRunner showed up in our back yard and was running all around.  When I went out to say hello (or goodbye), he jumped up on the ledge and gave me a wave as he jumped over the wall. 

Mom told me that she saw some of my BIG four legged friends on the golf course the day before we left.  When she was getting ready to hit her ball, she heard a rustling.  She thought there was a snake nearby.  But no, it was a Mule Deer.  It started climbing straight up the mountain where she was standing.  And then another one followed.  And THEN, three more of them jumped up, turned around and said goodbye to her and then climbed up the mountain. 

But the neatest thing was on the day before we left, my friend Jave Lina came right up to my front door and called to me to say goodbye.

I am sorry to leave all my friends in Arizona.  I watched them as we left on Friday morning.

But I know I'll be seeing them again.  And I have friends in St. Louis I need to catch up with.

So I'm ready to go on to new adventures and I'll be back in the fall to see my Arizona friends.

Here's to a fun summer!

Love, G.
