Another wonderful desert day here, so peaceful, clear blue skies and amazing nighttime views of the sky, stars etc and next to no light pollution Gotta really love it. Windows open again last night with fresh air and not cold at all 55f overnight.
I slept in this morning (compared to yesterday ) 4:30, guess I am adjusting to this time zone. After a quick early morning tour about town to explore some more, Back home to pick up Suzie now that she is ready to head out for a bit. About 9:30 into town to check out the farmer's market here every Friday in the winter at Christmas Circle.

 |
| people lined up here for fresh hot tamales we don;t care for them |
 |
| we did buy some fresh broccoli |
 |
| and some fresh strawberries |
 |
| even 1/2 dozen Strawberry oranges very tasty |
Across the circle we noticed more metal sculptures so wander over to check them out, These are for sale if you have enough money and need to buy them, plus transport them they would be just the things. But not us. Kinda cool though.

Where have we been this Winter
Crikey ..... another perfect day for you two, aye?? You sure live the life.
ReplyDeletePretty well everyday is perfect and we like to make the best of it Charlie.
DeleteIsn't Borrego Springs a great little town? Are the desert lilies blooming yet - there were a lot of them a couple of weeks ago!
ReplyDeleteWe always enjoy Borrego Springs, did not notice any desert lilies, guess they are done.
DeleteWe love farmer markets. We are in Yuma and are going to three of them today.
ReplyDeleteI so enjoy looking at the metal sculptures. Someone is very creative.
Love the Yuma area we plan to be back that way in about 10 days.
DeleteLove these sculptures and this quiet small town area.
Borrego is still on our list since we had to cancel last December. Farmers Market looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful area and lots of jeep trails as well for you to explore.
DeleteI wonder who would like that Thrift Shop? heh heh, you guessed it, me! Glad you are enjoying the hot weather.
ReplyDeleteYes Patsy I think you would really enjoy this thrift shop. The weather is wonderful.
DeleteI don't think that I have ever had a strawberry orange. I bet they taste very sweet. What are in those baskets, next to the strawberries? Peas?
ReplyDeleteThe oranges we very tasty, not acidy at all. Yes they are split peas, Suzie did not want any though, thought they were kinda pricey at 3 bucks.
DeleteLooks like you two had another wonderful day in the desert. We are hoping everything gets taken care of quickly on the Stinger B at our appointment so we can do some boondocking soon.
ReplyDeleteQuestion: Have you ever cooked Spaghetti Squash on your Weber Q? We do not have an oven in the motor home and when we are dry camping we don't have the power to run the Micro/Convection Oven. Tom will be trying it but I thought, if you had, maybe you would have a few hints.
Stay safe.
Hope all goes well with your Stinger B and you can get boon docking. I would have thought your coach would have a built in generator that would run your a/c and our connection oven.
DeleteI have not done it on the Weber Q but have done other squash no problem. I would cut it in half, scoup out the seeds add a bit of butter , salt and pepper. Then wrap each half in foil and grill skin side down for 30-40 minutes until done. Should be perfect, then scoup it out and use as desired.
Thanks for the advice we will be giving it a try.
DeleteWe do have a built in generator and we thought it would work also. When we tried it during the walk through it didn't. One of the questions Tom is going to be asking about the generator use.
Something not right if the penny goes not run the convection/microwave.
DeleteBorrego is our SoCal spot when we want a weekend out of town. There should still be lots of good fresh citrus to found and not just a the Farmer's Market.
ReplyDeleteI went to 2 stands that I know of and they only had grapefruit, I was looking for oranges that we got last year, Will keep trying and keep our eyes open.
DeleteI really want to go to Borrego Springs. It looks like there is so much there I haven't seen.
ReplyDeleteThen you should a nice camping trip and do it, we always enjoy it here.
