Quartzsite, Arizona, our winter refuge, is cool with lots of moisture; it is turning green. Lush, spring grasses and plants put on a show that is beautiful in its simplicity. One would not even notice if you hadn’t spent several winters here, or at least experienced a few of the winter months at some point. Usually the greening of the desert is so brief it’s hard to imagine it even happens. This year it happens.

The spring flowers put on a colorful show and all of it with the “purple mountain majesty and the brilliant blue sky depending on the hour, is breathtaking.
The middle of February brings unusual cold, even frosty temps, lots of cold wind and some rain. Many hours spent inside reading, planning, writing.
The boys need a little walk a couple of times a day and I bundle up and take them out. It’s cold enough that my little Fries doesn’t mind at all when we head back to the van.
They play, nap in the sun if it has made an appearance, and just generally go with flow. On Occasion there’s a row, but for the most part they get along splendidly.
Thanks for stopping by 2DogsTravel! Hugs, Shawna

Desert sounds beautiful right now. I am anxiously waiting for the winter to end to get out camping again. Be safe my friend and hope we meet up sometime this year.
