Sunny, windy southern California


If you are experiencing rain or snow, you should be here. It’s warm and sunny, but we are having the usual spring winds. The flowers are out here in profusion and it’s a real pleasure to drive in the Palm Springs area and see them all. Right now the jacaranda trees are blooming and are really lovely. They have sparse leaves, but are just covered with lavender flowers. I look forward to them each spring.

Nearly all the winter visitors in this area are gone now. That means all the activities have stopped, too. So far Travis' water volleyball games at Desert Pools RV Park are still going on, much to his pleasure. He loves that game and it gives him needed exercise. Because it is in the water, it is low impact and doesn't hurt his back. The volleyballers have a great time and they are very noisy.
