      Wow slept in again until 5 am , that is amazing, 52F overnight  and nice fresh air with our windows open.   We coffees and computing taken care of and a bit of a colourful rise, I headed out for my first walkabout, couple of miles in then back home for a bit.
so beautiful and peaceful
slow down and  enjoy the beauty
another interesting sunrise
love walking these dirty roads
interesting landscapes on some sites
       Then they have the 18 hole mini desert golf course here free to play with frees clubs and balls I have played it a couple of times with Suzie she won !
some fun holes here
this chola cactus almost blooming
         Then 9 am over to the Community building in Why for the flea market, crafts and yard sales. Not as many as they had last time here, but this season here is winding down, With the warmer weather people are heading out of this area.
nice community building lots goes on here
busy here this morning
     A few crafts and things to check out, They sell coffee, drinks donuts hot dogs, hamburgers , this is a busy spot. Then a back room like a Thrift store and lotsa stuff here and lotsa clothes, and bonus, pay what you want, donations!
lots of stuff here 
love the mural on this tailgate
       Back to the campground and drive Suzie around for a bit of the more remote sites I have walked by.
a few dry washes
love the cactus on the hills
       Then a bit later after lunch a walkabout and spotted a few wild flowers adding nice colour to the desert greenery.
     Now to enjoy some afternoon reading, no bright sunshine kinda overcast, but our batteries did get a full charge by noon,  even without tilting the solar panel. The sun is much higher in the sky now. Only got to 79 F with a slight breeze very comfortable afternoon.
      We enjoyed a quiet happy hour chatting for a while then soon time supper. Tonight a Turkey Burger for Suzie and a tasty Chorizo burger for me, Added some Bushes Baked beans to the meal and we sure enjoyed it.
these skies most of the day but was still a very hot one
love the views around here
          Our wonderful campsite does it for us.
          Below we have the burgers grilling, beans heating up a couple of potatoes in the back for breaky tomorrow. and english muffins warming in the front.
love this can lifter I bought years ago
works great on our grill
yummy, burgers and beans did the trick
       Now back outside enjoying this wonderful warm weather  6:30 pm still 70 F no complaints here and we did get another nice desert sunset.
         A fun Saturday we both enjoyed and the weather? Sure can't beat it.
         Thanks for stopping by and hope you enjoyed your day wherever you are.

  2. I think your orange flower is a Globe Mallow, altho all mallow flowers have the 5-spots I have never seen one with the spots so pronounced. Do you know what it is? Glad you have the chance to enjoy some of the spring flowers

  4. There is so much beauty in the desert and you have a good eye to spot it. Interesting to have that golf course there to keep everyone entertained. I bet it will be sad for you to leave when it comes time to head home.

  7. I had never heard of a can lifter before. The mural on the tailgate is really pretty.

    Hondo, Texas has a variation of the same sign theirs says "This is God's Country, Please do not drive thru it like hell".

    What a neat idea...having a 18 hole mini golf course.

  10. I liked the 'leased' bird in the photo above. That was cute. A sense of humour for sure. The wild flowers looked pretty, the pretty orange ones especially. Dinner looked amazing as well. I'm sure you're burger is quite spicy, it just looks spicy on the grill. Haha. Enjoy your time there!!!
