With the last push through the Mazatzal mountains, a breakfast stop in Payson and a lovely drive out of the mountains down highway 87 we reached our destination of Mesa AZ. They had a very dry summer and some major wind that caused damage. Then the monsoons came and the resort had more water than it could handle. The result was waste deep flooding of the catch basis which is also the tennis and pickle ball courts. Just before the snow birds returned the resort planned a clean up but another large rain event scuttled the repair. This last weekend the resort put all their crew on cleanup and hired a group to rework the courts. Today the leagues began and everyone was happy. We also started our work on the roses. The rains were good for the plants as everything was in full bloom when we arrived. But we have our work cut out for us, what's good for the roses is also good for nut grass as you can see in the photo? Other plants that usually bloom in the spring are blooming as well. Sadly, much of these will be done by the time all the snow birds arrive.
