Week of Fun

This past week has had wonderful weather - not hot but pleasant and very little wind.  With great weather, one just has to have some fun.  We started by taking a bit of a drive to see the other side of last week's trip.  This was to the other side of "The Squeeze" that I had mentioned last week where we went as far as the Pinyon Drop-Off.  These two areas of not accessible by us so we can only look from the other side.  Some of the road out was a bit rough but certainly doable.

We also took a trip out to Coyote Canyon in search of some flowers.  We had been out there a few weeks back and had seen a couple of blooming Yucca plants (also known as Century plant).  The ones that were there are done blooming and there were no new ones.  However, there are a few flowers that are starting to bloom.

One of the local churches held a garage sale on their parking lot.  Some had found some treasures; however, we went home almost empty handed which is probably a good thing.

Up on the mountain behind us, some creative folks have used their creativity to create some designs.  In the  past I have shown the snake which annually seems to get some additional enhancements.  Most recently is a wave and a surfer.

I generally try to get this weekly blog out on Saturday but with preparations for Super Bowl festivities, it is a tad late.  There were fourteen of us sitting outside one of the RV's enjoying some refreshments, a potluck supper, and watching the game.  There has been a real community develop in the area where we are staying  Every day is enjoyed with a  great group of folks.

The evening ended with a beautiful sunset as the clouds became brilliant.

Thanks for stopping by and until next time, I hope each and every one of you have a great week!!
