Here I am again, five days since my last post. For doing a lot of nothing, the time flies by!
It has been warming up into the mid to high 80's. It's a dry heat...hahaha, but it's true, it makes the heat easier to handle. We haven't had the a/c on. With the awning out on the afternoon sunny side of the trailer and a breeze, we have been okay. After the sun goes down, the temps cool down too which cools the interior of the trailer.
We've been taking walks, doing our research, talking with people and looking at alternatives to our plans. We never know what's around the corner. We still intend going to and looking hard at the Mancos area. But, with Colorado's massive growth the past year, over 100,000 people, maybe things are changing to fast there. We could care less about the marijuana laws, but apparently many are flooding there for that reason...so we keep reading and hearing.
We have learned a long time ago to never say never. Thinking back to where we were last year and not having a move on our radar, to now....hahaha! Sold house, wintering in our travel trailer in Arizona....we wonder what we'll be looking back on this time NEXT year! Who knows where we'll be?!
It has just been so pretty around here with everything blooming and greening up. As the teeny flowers finish we find different shrubs getting ready to flower. It looks flat out there, but when you walk it, there are many little drainages and washes that take you on all kinds of detours. I wanted to find the poppies again, and it is like hunting for a needle in a haystack, but we lucked out and found them. We still haven't run across the desert lily again, though I have been looking.

| I had to get down on the ground for this.... |
|
 |
| Gracie was nearby and had to see what I was looking at! |
 |
| Tromped right on the flowers! Goofy dog. |
 |
| These large, gnarly trees are Ironwoods. They can live 300 years and beyond! |
|
|
 |
| They shed limbs during their lifespan that nourishes the soil as they decompose. |
 |
| We love them! |
|
 |
| I love all the gnarly wood on these trees. |
 |
| This hardy thing is hanging on in a high traffic area. |
 |
| We found the poppies! |
 |
| This is my view from my seat at the table inside. It's pretty busy out there with birds, bunnies, squirrels, and lizards. |
The following are from this mornings walk.
Gotta run! Until the next time! We are off to have lunch at the Cracker Barrel in Buckeye and woo hoo....go grocery shopping!!! A big, big day. Hahaha!
