We made it to our winter abode on my birthday, Sunday. We are still working at this and that getting
things the way we like. We went to
a party celebrating an ATV friend’s 80th birthday on Monday. Yesterday was a grocery run over to Queen
Creek. Our wandering route that led us through Grand
Junction, CO and finally here was 3233 kms which is about 2021 miles. There were eight days of driving (seven
nights on the road) and twelve nights spent in the Grand Junction area.
Our excitement today was restringing two of our day/night
blinds. This is the way to see how
sloppy the workers were at the factory, and they really were!.
I plan to go ATV riding tomorrow with the club and Friday with Aileen
and a couple of friends. Pure sunshine
in the forecast for the next week with temperatures of 80 dropping to mid 70s
(maybe). They keep promising that but
every day has stayed pretty much at 80.

This was taken at almost dark near Snowflake, AZ where we spent our last night on the road. I set my camera on the ground and used the self timer to take the one second exposure.

The cactus flowers were taken on my walk yesterday morning in Florence Gardens. These only flower at night and fade shortly after sunrise. I believe they are a Central or South American native that are very popular as a garden staple.

Stopped on the way for groceries yesterday. The cotton is late this year with harvesting barely started. Not all the boles are open.
