The desert...how many ways do we love you...wow!

It's the wonderful desert and the south of France for us...wow, wow, wow!  Moving slowly after our drive.   But everything is pretty great so far and very few settling in problems as it's our own place so we had the beds and bedding as we like it.  Usually not the case when we're renting.

Sitting in our front patio enjoying the  fountain we love...so glad it was still here from when we rented this place in 2006.   Went to Trader Joe's and got wonderful cheeses,  lamb,  wine,  etc.  as usual.  One of their features was "Chariot Gypsy" which we had to get since it's from Healdsburg,  CA.  Great wine and under 5 bucks.  We had a wonderful time there with our very dear friends, Don and Elaine.  Don left some beer in the toilet cistern to cool and we forgot about it...always wondered who found it...someone with the same mind set I'm sure!

We began with Trader Joe's blended scotch....very good at $9.95 for a litre.  Ah yes...life is good.

 Just love this fountain!

 Our tangelo orange tree is looking very promising for fruit this year.

Growing wild...some kind of impatience perhaps.  Can't wait to get this cactus garden going.
