Now this is what we are here for, quiet sunny days.

Where are we today

        We had a pretty cold night last night (30f at 5 am) but we toasty warm under  our 100 lb comforter that Suzie has had forever. This is the coldest night for a few weeks or maybe longer.
         But as the sun came up the temperature rises and makes for a perfect day. Got a nice 1 mile walkabout done before 8 am enjoying the quiet morning and the moon setting in the west and sunrise to the east.
moon setting is excellent today 
just before the sunrise
      Before my walkabout I put on a large pot of water on to boil the chicken bones that we have, to make a tasty broth for some chicken noodle soup (love homemade soup !) We shared some with Gerry and Melinda just because I made so much. Love soup for lunch.
        After lunch I wandered about this area exploring and what did I come across? The area where these people (below) hang out. Very secluded and no I did not go in to check them out. Always wondered where the were now I know.
time to turn around and head back home
       Again got some wonderful relaxing reading time done on our e-readers . Even though it was only 60f the sunshine made it feel much warmer. So it was shorts, t-shirts and sandals for most of the afternoon.
       About 3:30 it is now Beer 30 so joined Gerry, Melinda and Tucker for Happy hour. Chat with them share stories and had a nice social time together.
love this area and I think they do too 
do need some shade from the intense desert sun
         Soon time to fire up our Weber Q, grill a turkey burger for Suzie and a hot sausage burger for me. They have the hot sausage at the Quartzsite market. Very tasty.
perfect once again
      The days just flow on by even when we have nothing to do. Never a dull moment and no excitement needed for us.
      Thanks for taking the time to take a peak. And hope your day was wonderful too.

  3. Beautiful sunny days and all those choices, clothes on, clothes off, what to do??? Almost time to make chicken stock here too. I now also save carrot, onion and celery ends in the freezer to add to the bones while simmering, it adds a nice layer of flavour. Must find me some of that spicy sausage meat for burgers...

    1. Possibilities are endless here. I put the celery, carrots, onions, mushroom and broccoli into the stock as well, sure makes a tasty soup.
      Think I will leave my clothes on.

  4. Yesterday was windy but a hot 62F in the sun here also. I found a corner at the back of the Suite and read to my hearts content!

  5. Well, a few years ago we DID check out the sunbathers. They weren't out. It was way too cold.

    1. I think there was a few outside, but did not want to get too close. It was a perfect day for it.

  6. If clothing is optional in that area, that means you can opt to leave your clothes on.
