Friend arrives, sad news, desert blooms…..

 

Our Location:

BLM Ogilby Road, Winterhaven, California 


Our days are quiet and peaceful. We have been just relaxing and enjoying the last few weeks here in the desert before we start our journey homeward. 


A few pictures of the desert in bloom. I hope you enjoy the pics.









The weather here has been very nice, but that cold north wind visits often. As I type this post it is raining slightly and has been since I woke around 3:30 am. 






That’s us way off in the distance.

Flowering Sage Brush in the wash.






The weather back on the Island is very unseasonal, the sap is running well now, the flowers are starting to push up and the birds are returning. I do think it will be a very early spring.


I wonder if this a javalina track?




Other news from back home, Justeen Anstice fell, breaking her hip. She is a wonderful lady, a youngster at 93. Her husband Ron passed last summer and she has been living alone since. Riley and I do some light house keeping for them once a week while on the Island. Get well soon Justeen. 





Doug and Yuma joined us on home dirt a few days ago. You can catch his story at Miss Adventure Travels.  He needed glasses and so we headed off to Mexico yesterday, March 14. It was a good day.


Doug and Yuma arriving.


Yuma was excited to get out.

We had breakfast here 


Yes, it’s a rubber chicken. Only in America. Lol.


We received the news that John Brown passed away a few days ago. I didn’t know John well, having just met him this year for the first time in Q, when Riley and I dropped into chat with Lorne and Sue. He and his bride Brenda were visiting as well. We later spent a few happy hours and New Year’s Eve together getting to know them better. They pulled out of Ogilby Road a few weeks ago. His quiet, unassuming manner, soft voice and stories are how I will remember him. A very nice man. Our deepest sympathies to Brenda and all of John’s family. Rest in Peace John.

Take care, stay safe,
