WE HAVE A HARD LIFE

Today has been a lazy day, we went to church then came home and ate a big breakfast. You know what happens when you eat a big breakfast ...... nap time
I told John, "Put that camera down!", but does he listen to me ..... noooo. So now you know Winchells has replaced Krispy Kreme donuts in my life. We use to go to Winchells when we raced in Omaha, but I have not seen them for several years. Lots of fun memories came to mind when I saw this place, and best of all they are still good, darn't it. I will just have to stay a little longer on the pb court to compensate for finding this place.
The bushes, flowers and trees are all just blooming their heads off and they are just beautiful. One thing comes to mind, tho. If one moved to AZ for clean air, why on earth did one drag all these pollen bearing things with one.
Mr Road Runner has just bathed and is sitting w/his back to the sun drying off. See how fluffy he is? Mr. Rabbit is looking for some green grass that the gophers have not dug up, or down or whatever. There are plenty of those little guys in this place. Around the pb court's edge they have really dug and you have to be careful going off the court for a ball, you might fall in and never be found!

STILL IN CALIFORNIA

Todays lesson is on wind mills for electricity. As we were going in to town a new way, we discovered we could get up close (sort of) to them, so you could see how big they are. There was an article in the paper that said they cost 12 million each and it takes 10 years for them to pay for themselves. There is a tour that explores all of this and I think we will try to take it before we leave.
This is going west towards Desert Hot Springs .......
Now this is to the left. Isn't it amazing? I can't decided if they are a blight on the land or not. Once they come into your view you can hardly take your eyes off them. They are just so fascinating to look at to think they are saving coal and oil.
We have been at this park for a week and will move back to TT park on Tuesday. We have been fortunate that we have played pickleball about every day. The sites are divided by Japonaca bushes, which helps when the wind blows and a big windrow of trees in the back. These trees just thrive here and grow really big, they are in the cedar tree family, I think.
We STILL haven't decided where we are headed for the summer .... still enjoying our time here.
