Friends leave today......

 

Our Location: 

North of MM 4, Ogilby Road, Winterhaven, California

 

A very warm night, excellent temperatures had me getting up to close to 60F/16C around the hour of  7 am MST. The day topped out at about 82F/28C with a good breeze and so things stayed a very nice temperature. 

 

The blooms weren't open when I was out walking this morning.

Lots of possibilities here.

 

Our friends Deb & Tom at  Celebrating the Dance  left this morning around 10 am. Bittersweet was the parting but we are always left with the hope of seeing them again before heading off for the summer. The Stinger B's horn sounded as arms waved and with the Little Black Limo rolling faithfully behind they headed off on the next leg of their adventure. Safe travels friends!!! 

 

Hooked up and read to roll.

The wheels are rolling and they're off.

 

The rest of the day was spent just resting and I even had a bit of a nap. I chatted with my dad for about a half hour tonight. Baby news from nephew Jesse and wife Claudia. Hali Margaret Lestie  (Margaret after Claudia's grandmother and Lestie after Jesse's grandmother who was my mother ) arrived safe and sound, weighing in at 7lbs 14 ozs. She's a cutie!! Congrats again to all. 

 

 

One of the baskets we bought in Mexico.


Two fit nicely in this space.

 

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed your visit. 

 

Until next time...

 

Take care, stay safe, 

 

Deb

  1. Slowly, we all go our separate ways. It was a nice winter, even with the not so nice weather. Beautiful baskets. Happy birthday to Hali!

    1. Thanks Doug. True, we all knew that at some point we would head out in different directions. It was a great winter and although it could have been warmer, we did enjoy it.

    1. True but this year isn't over yet, we may meet up again yet, one never knows. I love the baskets. We got them to hold pop, water and extra fruit.

  3. And then there were two. For at least the next 32 days. Love the bags!

    1. We bought them to hold water and pop, instead of having cases on the floor, these stack neatly. One for extra fruit as well.

  7. It was bittersweet leaving yesterday. It has been a wonderful winter. Always that hope of seeing you both one last time before we all head back East and North. I did see the buds on that Prickly Pear...😊

    1. It was bittersweet but the adventure isn't over yet, we may see each other one more time before the story ends for the season. I thought you might be getting out to take a photo or turning around and changing your mind about leaving. LOL.
