Mitry Lake

This week we moved to a new address - Mitry Lake - about ten miles or so north of Yuma.  While it was sad to leave the fun of the card games and the visiting of friends, it was time to head out to enjoy visiting with some other old friends.  Now that can be taken a couple of ways - but I mean they have been friends for a number of years as opposed to their age.  However, when I say "old", I could probably also refer to their age as I am the baby of them all so that speaks for itself.  Unfortunately, one couple were not able to stay for the visit which is sad as it has been a couple of years since they have been at our annual gathering at Mitry Lake.

Hungry humming birds

We are parked along a canal that runs through the area where we park.  We are in a great spot - a view of the canal on one side and the lake on the other, the joyful song of birds in the bushes on either side of us (which also provides great wind shelter), watching for jumping fish, and watching the egrets on the edge.  Also, they have the hungriest humming birds here.

This past week has been a quiet one.  We simply enjoy the sun and the friendship of our little community where we are now parked.

The repair parts for the Jeep finally arrived.  After some frustration, Gerry was able to finally get the part replaced so we are now have our 4 wheel drive again.



The cactus starting to bloom - spring is near

We try to go for a walk every day, and the signs of spring are starting to show - the cactus is starting to bloom.   There is a path up to the top of a mountain which we try to make a couple of trips up to the top but you have to be careful as there is quite a bit of loose rock.  Well, it was Jack & Jill went up the hill but Jill didn't do so well. Other than a few scrapes and bruises, I fared pretty well - just a bit sore.

Another week is over and another week of a warm winter is almost done.  Until next week, have a great week.
