A do nothing day, and a late afternoon visitor....



Our Location:  Saddle Mountain BLM, Tonopah, Arizona

(all pictures taken yesterday)

An extremely quiet day, chatted with my dad, his lady friend is up and about, so all is progressing there. Too much cloud cover for any pictures this morning. We had no plans today as the weather was iffy with some rain this morning for about 10 minutes, nothing much just enough to dampen the ground and maybe settle the dust for a 20 minutes. 

Although this could have been today, it wasn't.....out the kitchen window...

Cloudy, cool most of the day, Riley went for a walk but I stayed inside and just read my book, had a nap. We had lunch  inside today, a salad of course, stuffing, and breaded chicken. All good but no pictures. 

On our drive yesterday, love the colours on the roadside...

Late this afternoon around 4 pm we heard a soft hello outside. It was a nice fella named Matt whom we’d met on our last day here at Saddle Mountain before we headed to Quartzsite late December. He had noticed Riley walking and thought it was her but wasn’t quite sure. He thought he’d look for us and sure enough found us. We settled in for a chat which ended after sunset and as dark was setting in. Matt is new to the lifestyle and has been tying up loose ends in this area and will be excited to hit the road when everything here is finished. We had a nice chat about various things before we said our good byes and off he went. I was busy chatting and didn’t get any sunset pictures either. 

That is Saddle Mountain in the distance but up close those fields were white with cotton when we were here last time...

So no TODAY pictures here folks, all photos were taken yesterday. Nothing exciting to write about either. Thanks for dropping by, hope you enjoyed your day doing whatever it is that occupied your time. Feel free to drop a comment. 

This picture is taken on the east of the Igloo, those white things are campers far off on the other roads..

Until next time…. take care, be safe,

This was taken out the living room window yesterday. Love the sunlight on the mountain top....

  1. No pictures!😪. I ought to try that. It could be habit forming.

    Glad you had a nice relaxing day.

    1. No new pictures, just a few from yesterday that didn't make it into the blog post. However we'll have lots of time for pictures here and I'm guessing we'll get some good ones too.

      The weather kind of dictated the day, we have one more day like that and then we'll be in to the nice sunshine and reasonable temps. We're patiently waiting for that to come around.

      Take care, be safe,

    1. Relaxing is something I have trouble doing but I'm working on it. The cloudy days encourage me though. Hahaha

      Always enjoy the day.

  3. It is nice to have a do nothing day once in awhile, especially if you have a good book you're reading! Pictures are great and nice that Matt stopped in for a bit. Beautiful sunset picture!

    1. Yeah, we met Matt here last time just as we were leaving. He's the fella that settled in our old spot after we left. Interesting fella to chat with, he's from the area.

      Love a good book but with the cloud cover and the wind reading inside makes me lazy and nap time is a must.

      Take care, be safe,

  4. Glad you had a nice quiet day. And that was the weather to do it in.
    Into everyone's life a little rain must fall too. Remember, no rainbows without rain. :)

    1. It was the perfect day to nothing and so we did nothing.

      I don't mind the rain at all. It's the earth way of having a bath and we all need a bath from time to time.

      Take care, be safe,
