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.

Where have we been this Winter?
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.
ReplyDeleteGlad your enjoyed them Marlene, So many artists do these and so nice to see. These wildflowers are amazing to see, does not happen every year and is a bonus year for us. This weather in now what it usually is just later than normal. loving it! Hope you enjoy it there as well.
DeleteMurals are awesome. I went looking for flowers today. Found one tiny dime sized blue one. 😂
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy we do really enjoy this area, you should soon see more desert flowers after all the rain this winter.
DeleteAjo is on my places to go soon. The murals are just gorgeous lots of artist around town. I hope I don't miss the wild flowers but I think they will be around for a while longer this year.
ReplyDeleteIt is a nice funky town, and I thunk the wild flowers should be around for a while yet so nice to see.
DeleteWhat an absolute gem Ajo is! Love the murals and the bright colors they chose to paint them. The wildflowers are amazing.
ReplyDeleteBoth your breakfast as well as dinner look so yummy! Darn...I am hungry again :-(
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.
DeleteThe murals in Ajo are great, thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIt 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.
They keep painting moire here every year nice tp keep looking for more. They are very pretty when you get a while large field of them.
DeleteWe 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.
ReplyDeleteThis would be an excellent place for a winter home, but weeny the RV more. Loving this amazing warm weather too, just the way it should be.
DeleteIt's so nice to see the wildflowers beginning to bloom, thanks for sharing your great pictures.
ReplyDeleteGlad to have you along and can enjoy the sights we love.
DeleteLove the murals in that town. We WILL have to get there one day! Your breakfast looks incredible..my weakness those home fried potatoes! Yum..dinner looks awesome too! 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!
ReplyDeleteThanks guys it sure is wonderful peaceful area we can enjoy nature. The murals and relaxing with the great weather and enjoying some tasty meals.
DeleteNice 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.
ReplyDeleteIt sure was nice and colourful for sure. Love all the Murals and the poppies and wildflowers.
DeletePerfect timing to enjoy the flowers! :c)
ReplyDeleteIt sure is a wonderful time to bee here and enjoy these colourful flowers.
DeleteThat's some interesting art!
ReplyDeleteYes Stew it sure is glad you dropped by.
DeleteWonderful murals. Such a quaint little town. Love the flowers at Gun Sight Wash. Enjoy your time in Why.
