HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!
Today started out slow and easy. Sitting out enjoying our morning coffee and the view in front of us.

| This morning's sunrise. I edited the tone by clicking on auto adjust and decided to share the results. |
As I sat there this morning looking at the beautiful view below, (waiting for my coffee mug to arrive...Tom makes our morning coffee and it is such a treat to have it handed to me all warm and creamy,) I could not help but reflect on how blessed Tom and I are to be living our retirement dream.
After lunch we took a quick ride into Quartzsite to pick up a few groceries. After we got back we decided to take a ride out into the Day Use area just past where we are parked. We thought it would be nice to just do a little exploring and agreed if we came to any steep washes or hills we would just turn around. We found a road that brought us somewhat close to the mountains and we just had a nice relaxing ride no steep washes, no large boulders, no hills to conquer just beautiful scenery.

| Little tiny white flowers covered the desert floor and the yellow wild flowers go all the way up to the top. |

| All the little wild flowers covering the desert floor are so pretty. We spotted our first flowering cactus this afternoon. (center picture) |

| Another beautiful sunset bringing darkness to the end of a wonderful day enjoying this time in our life. |
"May the Leprechauns be near you,
to spread luck along your way,
and may all the Irish Angels,
smile upon you this St. Patrick's Day."

Happy St. Patricks day , looks like you had a very enjoyable one.
ReplyDeleteIt was a nice quiet type of day and we did enjoy it.
DeleteGlad you're back. Looks like you had a nice relaxing St. Pat's Day!
ReplyDeleteThanks, and it was a relaxing day.
DeleteBeautiful pictures, love the first one. I like playing with the options I have on my laptop too. Funny you said about reflecting on your blessings. I am not a religious person, I do believe though. This morning on my walk, I realized it will be one of my last days here in the southwest to do this. So I had a lovely chat with the powers that be, namely God, and thanked him for our blessings as well. This has truly been an amazing 'first' journey of many.
ReplyDeleteFunny, I had typed in the word lucky and then I changed it to blessed because that is really how I feel. It has been a wonderful year meeting and making new friends. Plus, we have had the opportunity to get together with old friends. We have visited new places and revisited places we love. I know this last month or so will fly by but God willing come September we will be pointing the Stinger B South and West and we will do it all again.
