A weird weather day, sun shine, rain, warm, cooler but we enjoyed it with no wind.

Where are we today ?
 clic a pic to enlarge it
           Heck I slept in until 4:15 this morning, pretty good I think, If we were back home in Ontario that would be 7:15 am! So I am doing good.
         With an interesting sunrise I got out for my first mile walked in the fresh morning air. Enjoying the scenery  along the way and could hear some burros off in the distance. Baying.
interesting sunrise today
this Barrel Cactus with buds
hope we can see the flowers before we leave
mostly overcast today but
did get some hot sunny periods
      Then a quick trip to Ajo for some fresh veggies  to keep us supplied. Back home enjoying the warm morning sun then an early light lunch. A nice 65F at 10am with a slight breeze. Then by noon very hot in the sun at 72F . Did get another walkabout checking more interesting scenery .
this is cool
     Even spotted a few more desert flowers around.
Another interesting design
       Then about 12:15 skies clouded over and we had about 30 seconds of light raindrops. Just enough to put our chairs away and head inside.  10 minutes later back outside again. Enjoying the afternoon fresh air and comfortable temperatures with no wind, perfect.
supposed to get some rain , but we will see.
     Now we can enjoy a few more hours reading outside until about 3 pm and started to sprinkle again, Not heavy but too heavy to enjoy sitting outside. Not a problem we can be quite comfy inside, a bit warmer a dryer.
     Was going to BBQ some chicken tonight , but now down to 52F and drizzling so gonna bake it in the oven, just a bit of garlic powder and low sodium Soya sauce,  A treat we have not had for many, many years some Rice A Roni got on sale at Olsens today .99 cents. (good for 2 meals) May as well use our propane oven inside to keep us toasty warm.
have not had this forever !
        The chicken was done nicely and so tender another deal as well,  . 77 Cents a lb cost us $1:21. Just added a bit of chopped fresh carrot and broccoli to the Rica a Roni mix and all in one meal.
a tasty meal done in an hour warming our coach on a cool rainy afternoon
sure did the trick tonight
this was our afternoon no chance of a sunset tonight  
not a lot of rain to wet the ground so far
    We did run our Genny for a couple of hours, just because we could, It needed a good workout anyway and to top up our batteries, and charge our devices, Plus use our electric heater for a while as well. may as well when it is running!
      Not a bad day at all, we have had some amazing weather here, The odd day of cooler and rain makes us appreciate the warmer sunny days. Sure much better than back home with all that cold, snow and ice, We will take this any day.
     Glad that you dropped on by and hope you had a decent day as well.

  3. Sounds like you had the same sort of weather day we did. When we first looked out we had blue skies then the clouds took over and eventually the rain. Though like you said, still a nice day. Supper looked good you sure couldn't beat the price.

  8. Just enough rain to keep the dust down and the flowers in bloom, nothing wrong with that. I agree with other readers the dinner does look great!
