On a sad note, our twenty year old Sophie took her departure the other day so the house (motorhome) is feeling a bit empty. Fifteen year old Mitzy is still chugging along although she is having some bad days.
We have a sort of sunny morning and the temperature wasn't too far above freezing to start but it is supposed to get up to 72F (low 20sC) this afternoon. We hope so as we plan to have our Christmas meal outside at 1 pm. This has been a very windy winter so far. Combined with scant rainfall the desert is extra dry. The way its going, there won't be much for flowers in the spring before we leave to go north.
If you look closely on the right side, you might see Santa peeking out of the outhouse
I would title this "beauty in destruction". There used to be a town over there but it got moved. This is at Kelvin, AZ

Aileen made nearly eleven dozen chocolate peanut clusters to give to the neighbours and friends as part of our gifting. They are always well received.
So nice to see roses blooming outside at this time of year
We had our first Caliente Couples ride on Friday
