Hiking/Activities in Sedona

Hey Yall! My boyfriend and I are planning to be in Sedona for Valentines Day weekend and are in desperate need of some fun hikes and activities to enjoy during our time there. We know its way too cold to do Slide Rock and are anticipating the cooler weather. (Hopefully it will be less crowded in the cooler months.) We like to hike and are really looking forward to look at all the red rock formations and explore some new landscapes with some cool photo ops. Also looking for fun food spots to try and places to shop as well. If you have any suggestions for hiking/food/shops/activities it'd be greatly appreciated :)

Ficus Advice - can I get them back to be shrubby again?

So these were super full bodied with multiple stems coming from underground and giving it more of a wider bigger look, I cut them all and removed the bottom foot worth of branches. Well I think they are too skinny now, as they look more like small trees but I want the bush look, and I am wondering if they will grow back? I am wondering if I should notch them at the bottom? Just want to know if I’m cooked or not. Also, worst case scenario, I have anxiety about them being too close to the wall anyways so I wouldn’t mind just taking them out. Thank you!

What is this? Noticed it coming out of my attic

Going into my attic I noticed this coming into my laundry room. What the hell is it? There seems to be more in the attic as well.

Sunset at Yarnell Hill

Hard to beat a scenic January motorcycle ride in Arizona. This is from the main viewpoint looking southwest across the valley towards Congress on SR 89.

What is this Sticker???

I've been seeing this on car windows lately... (Mesa/Gilbert specifically) It's always on the driver-side passenger window and it's on cars who's drivers are of all ages (so prolly nothing to do with schooling). I've already googled "flags" or "toll stickers" but to no avail. Reverse image search was bad too.... (Sorry for the bad drawing) The green on the side is supposed to be a bar-code... and the circle has a "V" in it

Paid sick leaves in AZ

My company gives PTOs based on number of years of service, but they do not give sick leaves separately. A friend told me that as per AZ laws, company with 15+ employees must give sick leaves. My company is global company with thousads of employees in US with a offices in each state.

Is it necessary for my company to give sick days? Shall I approach HR? How? Please suggest.

Organic or all natural donut shops in AZ?

Hi all, I was curious if anyone knew of any in-person organic or all natural donuts shops in AZ, that are not Yo! Donut, Knead Luv Bakery, or Sprouts/Natural Grocers/Whole Foods. And yes Reddit, I know that donuts are not healthy for you lol :)

Driving in maricopa County these days is hell

Especially mesa and Gilbert. All the roads are closed for construction, people are becoming even less patient and very aggressive drivers. I have been seeing at least 2-3 accidents a day for the past couple of weeks. It’s not even worth it go out and go get something to eat or anything because of the unnecessary stress of driving.

After 47 years in AZ I saw my first Coati today.

Recently moved to Sonoita and I am amazed by the wildlife. Had some cats in the barn in the past, so when I heard a noise I was pleasantly surprised to find this little fellow.

Arizona car emissions

Failed missions two times already went to the mechanic and they got ever worse after the tested again ( the mechanic was one listed to help with emissions ) I do not qualify for the 900 program.

I’m in the valley where testing is needed I can’t keep putting money into this but desperately can’t sell my car because of how much money is into it and I don’t think I would be able to afford a newer one anyways.

I looked up and it said that Navajo county does not test and I have property up there. Think if I take it there I would need a passed emissions ?

Need advice because I’m not sure what to do. Either A. Sell it and possibly be out of a car for awhile. B. Wavier ? C. Possibly bring it up north.? Any wine have advice.

Genuinely Curious: What Are the Coolest Animals in Arizona?

I'm from Utah, and from my perspective, we don't have as much wildlife compared to some other places. I just learned that Arizona has wild pigs (Javelina) and even Bison, which I didn’t expect! What are some other unique animals one might see when visiting Arizona? I will be traveling there for work(Mostly Southern Arizona)and I see this as a great opportunity to get to know this state better.
