We have our feet down for a while….

 

Our Location:

Road Runner BLM, Quartzsite, Arizona

This morning we were up with wheels rolling at 7:30 am MST, which yesterday would have been 9:30 am CDT. We spent our day crossing this state arriving here around 2:30. We cruised a few spots finding one we liked and soon were settled. I called Dad, texted my sister and then we sat down to eat. 

It was a double rainbow but we couldn’t capture them both clearly.

Texas Canyon

Our plans are to spend a few weeks here before we move on to Ogilby Rd.  We are looking forward to just resting for a few days, feet up, book in hand, warm sun on my face. It will be nice to rest now after 9 days of driving.

Happy birthday wishes go out to niece Brittany as she celebrates today. Britt and family just recently moved back to Ontario from Newfoundland and settled in the Ottawa area. She is my sister’s youngest child.

Near the Junction of 85/10.

Our spot for a few weeks

Enjoy the photos. Thanks for stopping by.

Until next time……

Take care, stay safe,

A very quiet day....

Our Location: Plomosa Road, Quartzsite,

Arizona

 

Another good night's sleep. They are now  becoming a habit and I like it very much. I could get used to it. 

 

The view out our window this morning.

Can you see why we love the desert?

 

This morning I posted a blog for yesterday and then decided to forgo the visit with blogger friends this morning and instead head out for a walk while it was cool. I didn't follow any straight lines and just wandered around from here to there. I was gone a couple of hours. It was a nice way to spend some time this morning. I've been having trouble getting out for a walk and I have no idea why but it's been a struggle. 

 

There are so many interesting pieces to some cacti.

Do you see the face? A lazy cacti, and one that has seen better days.

 

Home just before noon and we spent the rest of the day doing pretty much nothing. We read for a bit and Riley even napped for a while. After that it was just some quiet time doing a little of this and that. A call from dad to see how things are going and I called my sister as well. My sister and her partner Rick seem to be recovering from the flu but it's a slow process. Hopefully it doesn't make the round through their house again as it seems to want to do everywhere else. 

 

Bright colours and some pointy ends.

Lots of colour in the desert.

 

Riley and I have been out among more crowds than we like the last while and so have decided to take a few days of just being quiet and relaxed. Not exciting to read about but we enjoyed it. We have a few tentative ideas for tomorrow but have made no plans. So will see how things go. 

 

Some interesting pieces of wood as well.

The washes are all different.

 

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you had a wonderful day where ever you may be. 

 

Even very pretty green grass like stuff under the trees.

 

Until next time... take care, be safe, 

 

 

Mesquite choked washes, steep climbs and some pretty greens.
