This was our last week at Why and we sadly had to say good-bye. We did start the week on a high note with a Christmas concert in Ajo (a community of about 2,600 people). It started with an orchestra of 12 players with a real variety of instruments and ended with a choir.
The music was great with the very talented performers.
We also had almost two inches of rain. Water was running in some of the washes but we didn't see any of it because by morning, they were pretty well dried. These rains are appreciated by everyone as they have been suffering from drought. The water pulled these melons (or coyote gourds) and spread them along the wash.
With all the rain, there was a lot of humidity in the air which resulted in quite a heavy fog every morning for several mornings.
This week was our friend, Chris' birthday. After an enjoyable supper, we even had room for cheesecake, aka birthday cake.
I did put out our game camera a couple of nights. One night the coyotes must have been busy as they didn't stop by but they did come around another night. It seems that they tend to explore fire pits.
As we would sit out in the afternoon, there was a flock of quail that would come pecking around looking for some food.
On our last night we sat around and enjoyed one last fire,
then we went out for a lovely Mexican supper. The entrance of the entrance has an interested mosaic on the floor.
We were still able to go out for our daily walks in spite of all the rain. Because of type of soil, it dries up very quickly so we were still able to do some exploring. This is quite a fire pit.
There was quite a bit of cloud following the rain but it really made for some amazing sunsets.
Next week, we will have a different address, and of course some different activities. I hope you have a great week and will stop by again next week.
