So Exciting

 It's Saturday evening and  I get to tell you of the exciting week we had.  Every day we have a game of cribbage after most meals.  We are nine days into the month of March and so far, I have been skunked three times, and am really on the losing end.  I have decided that I had best hone my card playing skills.

We are still in Yuma as we have been waiting for our friend, Gary, to recover from some health issues.  This week, however, he has had a temporary setback which we all hope will be resolved.

We did go out for a drive to see some of our favourite camping spots in past years and did see some interesting sites.

what an innovative way to disguise a cell tower

Routinely we go for a daily walk and I love some of the creativity that folks have in their landscaping.

And we always enjoy the many varieties of flowers that are blooming.  I don't know the names of them but they all have some real unique characteristics.

And there is even beauty in the skies.

A few weeks ago I mentioned that there was a hen and three roosters living in a wash nearby.  We still hear the roosters daily but we did find the hen today.  Here she is, all alone, looking after four chicks!!

As you can see, our week was pretty low-key.  I hope everyone has a great week and I may have more stories to tell next week.

Yuma Once Again

This week we are back in Yuma visiting (and mooch-docking) on our friend's, Gary and Marleen's, lot.  Some may ask "what is mooch-docking?  Well according to RV Life, Moochdocking means you are boondocking or camping for free on your friends’ or family’s property, most often their driveway.  That is exactly what we are doing!!

While we are here, we are making several visits to the hospital.  It isn't us, but our friend Gary has been hospitalized going on four weeks.  His recovery, while slow and steady, has been quite remarkable.  He did celebrate his birthday this past week so we had a small party for him at the hospital. 

Some of the local flowers are starting to bloom.  I thought that it is rather late but apparently that is not the case.  The flowers are certainly different than what we are used to seeing.

On our way home the other day, we came across a field of carrots being harvested.  I had not seen a carrot harvest in progress.  In fact, I don't remember seeing carrots growing in this particular area.  

Much as it is at home, election fever is growing and politics is alive and well.  

And spring is certainly here as the chicks and ducklings are available for sale.  When buying these little critters, the minimum number you can buy is 4 chickens or 2 ducklings but I have no idea of the cost.  They are definitely cute.

I hope I didn't bore you too much but as time goes on, our activity seems to lessen.  I hope you have a great week!
