Things

Things are going quite well for me these days. Of course I'm trying to always stay on the positive side of my thoughts since it makes no sense at all to dwell on the negative side. Not that there are too many negative things going on in my life right now mind you, there aren't. Actually I'm a very happy guy these days and I have not had one second since I moved to Idaho that I felt like I needed to be someplace else. Before I moved here I had those feelings often and now not at all. Must say something about being in the right place, huh?

Well, next week Karen and I are going to fly down to Vegas for a couple of days and as luck has it the temperatures while we are going to be there are predicted to be in the 70's and 80's. Both of us are going to be enjoying the warmth and I rented a car so we could get out in the desert and do a little walking and I'm hoping there are some wild flowers blooming. With all the wet weather that the desert has gotten this winter, there might be a nice bloom this year and mid March is a good time to catch some of it as long as you find the right elevation for that particular time period. I was down there last year in March and here are a couple of pictures I took then of wild flowers I found. The orange flower is Globe Mallow but I don't know the name of the purple one. The cactus can also have some beautiful blossoms and they are brilliant if you catch them at the right time.

No matter what, spending time in the desert with the lady I love is going to be a great thing for me. I'll be taking pictures so hopefully some of them I'll find worthy to post here after we get back.
