Scottsdale is so surprising! There’s something for everyone here - the arts, sports, shopping of all types, tours, nature, great restaurants, and great winter weather. I am loving it here. One of the places that surprised me was the Western Spirit Museum: Scottsdale Museum of the West.

As mentioned in my blog just previous to this one, my mom and I went to the Western Spirit Museum: Scottsdale Museum of the West yesterday and today and it was wonderful! During this post I’m going to focus on the courtyard sculpture garden.

Howdy, Partners!!! I’m having a great time here in Scottsdale learning about all sorts of things. Yesterday and today, my mom and I went to the Western Spirit Museum: Scottsdale Museum of the West. It was fabulous!

I’m feeling rather snarky today as our furnace is not working on the coldest day in recent memory. 🤨 Just know I am sending this out under a pile of blankets dressed like an Alaskan lumberjack freshly back from a thrift store run. 😏

While I enjoy festivals of all kinds, few festivals bring me more joy than hot-air balloon festivals.
