        Very nice and warm over night with windows open only 54f (12C) we can handle that great for sleeping. We did have a few rain sprinkles early morning but then cleared up, bonus, cleaned the windshield on our coach!
         Got some morning coffee and computing done then a vey nice walkabout by 7:30 this morning nice enough to wear shorts and my hoody for  a bit.
         Noticed this amazing site below, a cloud cover over a mountain in the distance almost looks like a snow drift over top on the mountain.

this was too cool!

    On this walkabout noticed a bunch of Gambles quails scurrying around the roads here, they are so cool. To see and listen to them.

back home for another coffee caught a nice
rainbow out our dinning room window 

     Then just after 8 am headed into Truth or Consequences (T or C) to the Walmart for a few things, just cause I could.

love the Walmart parking lot covered with solar panels
and shad

      Back to the park and just cruised around for bit.

overlooking the lake, and boats in storage

boat launch ramp, a long way down

         In a while we enjoyed a nice light lunch as usual then I took a drive around and down by the lake and the beaches.

nice plowed roads down to the lake 

wonderful beaches here would be very busy in the summer

nice that I can drive on it with our car too

lots of plowed roads here

how is that for a perfect campsite?

wonderful waterfront sights, dry camping
$10.00 a night

solitude

lots of dry camping sights here, this looks wonderful

         Now back home to relax in the sun and the shade about 70F (21C) in the shade and quite hot in the sun so we moved around, sun, shade, sun, shade worked for us and got some wonderful reading done this afternoon.

feet in sun , body and book in the shade

      A few more walkabouts just enjoying this wonderful weather that we are here for. Spotted this plant below and colourful red flowers, very nice. Don't know the plant, thinking maybe a desert plant of some sort .

            Late afternoon now is just after 4 p, and the sun is beginning to set on the lake behind us.

looks wonderful across the lake

looking the other way the sun is setting

and a whole mess of Gambles Quails dropped by
to enjoy the feed our neighbour put
on our site

        At 4:30 I preheated our Weber Q and whipped a salad, thawed a couple of salmon fillets and prepared for the grill.

not long to cook these and as usual very tasty
done at 5:15 just as it was getting dark,
perfect timing.

salad , salmon and some leftover corn
 from last night

       Now we can still enjoy a bit more reading time outside and post this blog 7 pm and 56 f , almost done soon time to head on inside for the night.
       No complaints about this weather at all. We sure are enjoying what we came to the southwest for new scenery, sunshine, blue skies, next to no humidity, not many bugs at all and warmer weather.
       Glad that y'all dropped by for a look see and hope you had great day as well joining us.
