I got tired of my poinsettia in the house as it just didn't want to die so I put it outside and it is growing better than ever!! I think I will have to put it in a pot and see if it survives the summer.
Pam and I looking at our orange trees. We need to pick the last of the oranges off the tree as the blossoms are coming out and it isn't good for the tree to have both the blossoms and fruit on the tree at the same time.
Pam and Dick among the fruit trees

Sitting out on our back patio having a campfire in the fire pit Theresa and Dan bought us as a gift for staying at our place. It was such a beautiful warm evening.
We took Pam and Dick for an ATV trip into the desert
Not sure what this wild flower bush is but it was so pretty I had to take a picture
Pam, Dick & Doug having a chat while we took a break from ATVing, it was hot out there that day. We have to wear pants to protect our legs but it sure makes it warm!
The first of the cactus starting to bloom. This is a hedgehog cactus
This is another hedgehog cactus wit a different shade of flower
Pam and Dick look like they are lost and looking for us!
I saw this nest in the saguaro and it has an owl in it. Doug and Dick took off so fast and so far ahead of us I couldn't signal them to stop and have a look so they didn't get a chance to see it. We will have to go back in a few weeks and see if their are any little owls in the nest!
This was the guys' idea of taking us out to lunch! It was so warm we had to really search to find just a bit of shade to sit under while we relaxed and ate lunch
This is a side picture of our ATV's canvas top that is ripped to shreds along with our whip flag. This is a result of our darling daughter taking her Dad through a wash that had low hanging trees and she didn't slow down! Little did she know that every tree, shrub and cacti in the desert has long sharp thorns and will shred anything it comes in contact with. I guess that will be an investment for nextt winter to replace the canvas top! The flag will only fly at half mast now and I think that is very appropriate given the condition of my roof canvas!

Pam and Sharon - do I need to say anything more?
We took Pam and Dick to the old Indian site to show them the grinding holes
Sharon, Dick and Pam in the pool once we got home from our ride. We were so hot that the pool felt wonderful!
We had a great day in the desert and a better time in the pool!
