         Another great sleep and mild night hearing a few coyotes and Burros in the distance is so soothing too. Up early puttered around for a bit had to clean out our fridge. A bad smell think some of the fresh shrimp I put in there last week before I froze them the bag leaked a bit, so a strong fishy smell. Much better now! Then a short walkabout before I headed in the Ajo at 7:30 am on a quiet Sunday morning to enjoy this sleepy town and pick up a few groceries.
right on the side of the trail I walked
         And while here took the time to check out some of the many beautiful murals around town. Really love this quirky town.
        This is the Ajo Historic Plaza.
      I stopped here at the Refuge Centre to check it out but not open only Mon to Friday
love these Organ Pipe cactus 
         Back home and it is getting hot, blue sunny skies a light breeze and shorts on by 9:30 this morning.
       For a Sunday treat we decided on a bacon and eggs breakfast just like we used to do when camping every weekend. Some pea meal back bacon, eggs, and home fried potatoes, from the potatoes I baked last night on our Weber Q. This was a very tasty treat and served with SIL Sandies homemade jam, wow this  amazing!.
inside today easier with the cool breeze
this did the trick yummy
        After lunch down the road a few miles to check out Gun Sight Wash a BLM 14 day free area we have stayed at before. Much busier than last fall, but still not crowded. The bonus here was all the desert wild flowers. Wow what a treat.
      Now to relax in the warm afternoon shade 75F quite comfortable, still too hot in the sun though Enjoying our page turners and this amazing weather that we we love. As I always do read for a while, putter around a few walkabouts really enjoying it here. Chat with few people walking by, man this is the life. Meet so many people when we outside enjoying this weather.
loving this clear blue sunny skies
         After our happy hour, time to whip up supper, Tonight a couple of boneless, skinless chicken breasts on sale , and some fresh aparagus only .99 cents a lb added to our salad we had more than enough, leftover chicken for more lunches, will be wonderful.
chicken with Bourbon BBQ sauce was so tasty
I added some fresh salsa to my chicken, was oh so good !
now to wrap up another wonderful day
 with a great desert sunset
       Does not get much better than this in our minds, Thanks again for dropping on by.

  1. The murals in Ajo are so colourful. I presume many talented artists were at work to create them. Thanks for posting them. You are right, how wonderful to see the beautiful wildflowers in the desert. So much eye candy. This weather is finally what we hoped Arizona would be. Enjoy your time there.

    1. Not much around this desert area but so much to see if you take the time to look. It was a great day and we are not hungry anymore now. Guess you did not eat first before reading.

  5. The murals in Ajo are great, thank you for sharing.
    It was a beautiful day yesterday, why we come here for sure.
    I think Bob calls those flowers California poppies. They are pretty and a real surprise in the desert.

  6. We loved Ajo, especially the murals and the white church. If we didn't have a motorhome, Ajo would be a fun place to buy a little house for under 60 K and just drive down in the winter. Nice that you are getting warm weather.

That's a great price on the asparagus, if we can find it for $1.74 a pound I consider that a good price. Love the way you are enjoying the area and everything!

  9. Nice way to get a bit of color into your morning. The murals are amazing, other towns seem to be doing more of that too. I think to reduce graffiti and attract tourists. Sure is nice to find that Gunsight Wash is now a golden field of poppies.
