Two Days Enjoyed in the Desert!

November 9 & 10, 2023

Friday

I started today standing in the early morning light of dawn waiting for the sun to come up over the Kofa Mountains to the east of us. 

Looking towards the north the sun's light is touching the 
tops Plomosa Mountains.

Looking towards the south I can see light on
the top of the Dome Rock Mountains.

Then the sun makes its appearance.

As the sun makes its way up it lights the desert around us.

Coming around the other side of our home I could 
see the sun coming up between our two homes.
It looked like it was hugging the Saguaro in the distance.

Between the pictures above and the ones below we had a Coffee Hour,  well it may have been more like two hours, where we sat enjoying the company of good friends sitting in the warmth of the sun. The sun had just about reached the top of its path for the day when we parted ways. A little later we came back together for Happy Hour which started in the sun's warmth and ended when the sun made its downward path behind the Dome Rock Mountains. There was a chill in the air as twilight descended upon us and it was time to go inside.

A little hummingbird taking some sips at the end of the day.

Looking to the south as the sun sets.

Last little speck of light in our view.

Yesterday our day started sitting out enjoy the sun's warmth and our coffee as we chatted with Deb and Riley. After a couple of hours of wonderful conversation we parted ways with plans to come back together at 2:30 to take a ride over to the Park Place RV Park. Patsy and Bill are making this place their home over the winter and they had invited us over for Happy Hour.

Not wanting to miss out Black Beauty is photobombing the 
picture...lol I have to be honest this is Patsy's picture.

The only three pictures I took today.

How do you describe three hours of sitting in a circle with 8 people who love the lifestyle they are living, sharing memories, talking about the present, maybe even thoughts about the future while filling the air with wonderful words and laughter. Tom and I describe it as an evening well spent. 

Two good days enjoyed in the Sonoran Desert with, God willing, many more to come.







We are glad you stopped by!
If you have time to leave a comment we would enjoy hearing from you.

  3. And so it begins, the happy hours, the beautiful sunset and the plentiful hummingbirds. Does it get any better?
