Well, this week has been pretty uneventful, been getting the RV ready for the travel to Colorado for the next 4 months. Arizona weather has been very cooperative and I really cannot complain -- cool mornings and nights and warm to upper warm day temps. If you find shade and the breeze is blowing, it is not too bad. If you are out in the direct sunshine, you will feel the heat pretty quick. But I think that is coming to an end with 101 degrees expected on Wednesday in Phoenix, which means we are about 7 degrees cooler --- so lower 90's?
The lizards are enjoying it -- so many scurrying around when Darrel and I take a morning walk -- even when I ride my bicycle, they zip across the road and it is pretty startling. They aren't dangerous but sure do surprise you when the dash across your path.
Everything is blooming and I haven't had my camera with me to take pictures so I will try to be more diligent. The saguaros are beginning to bloom and I will definitely get a picture of one in the park that has about 30 blooms started on the barrels (arms).
People are leaving and it is kind of sad -- but I do like the quiet with fewer people. We will be some of the last to depart in early June, most are out by late April or early May.
Pickleball is wrapping up as well as we are losing so many players. I think we have enough to play thru Wednesday and then, not sure of how many we will have left. It feels kind of like the end of a school year, a rest break and then you are back together again.
Guess I don't know much else --- Our week will still be working on the RV reorganizing project -- still have the loft to pack and pots and pans to find places for. Since we have moved to the induction cookplate, we have fewer pans and need to find a spot for them.
However, I did catch a rainbow over the mountains this past week. It hadn't rained here at North Ranch but I looked out our RV window and caught the rainbow in the clouds. You just never know what the sky will look like in the desert.
Great mountain shot!
Tried to get part of the cloudy sky
This is front the RV front steps and you can see the blue in the sky above, it was bizarre to look out and just see a rainbow over the mountains. Guess you need to pay attention!
We hope to take a motorcycle ride some early morning when the temps are still cool -- hopefully I'll see an interesting site or two.
So until another post and maybe with some better pictures, take care to all,
Love,
Susan & Darrel
