Desert Life.

I had a wonderful walk at dusk this evening.

Earl and I enjoyed a very nice sunset walk in Saguaro National Park – Rincon District this evening. Though the temperature was still quite high at 99ºF, we enjoyed our surroundings during our power stroll.

We are at midweek. I’m focusing on the good things and avoiding the bad things. This past weekend we went for a little ride up into Redington Pass. It was warm, it was sunny, and it was beautiful.

I will never tire of the colors Mother Nature uses to paint the desert.

Lucky is the man that sees both the sunrise and the sunset of the same day.

And speaking of lucky, Lucky and Jinx certainly enjoy their sunset walks. Usually they go out with Mike and Chris, but once in a while Uncle J.P. and Uncle Earl will take them for a walk. They still follow their usual routine, once we’ve determined the asphalt is within everyone’s tolerance levels.

We are home. After a pleasant drive from Roswell, N.M. to Tucson, we are safe in our home in the desert and it has been a glorious storm chasing experience. There’s much to come over the next week or two. I have dozens of hours of video to go through.

On our way through New Mexico we stopped at White Sands National Park. It was my second time there but my husband’s first time at this famous park. Folks were sledding and sliding like it was piles of snow everywhere, but it was warm and sunny and beautiful. It is truly a spectacular place.

We stopped at the Visitor’s Center on our way in, perused the small museum, and purchased a Camelback water bottle so we’d have extra water on board in the park. It was a smart thing to do.

‘Twas a very nice adventure to bring the vacation week to a close.
