Our Desert Escape...
After a torrential rain storm yesterday, we awoke to the bluest skies making it an exceptional day to drive to Palm Desert. My brother, Chuck, and sister-in-law, Hazel, spend a winter week basking in the warm desert sunshine. A truly perfect verb for their holiday here:
baskingpresent participle of bask

Whenever possible, we join them for lunch while they are so close (1.5 hour drive).
As you can see in the photos, today was a fantastic day to dine along the golf course and meander down paths lined with amazing desert flora. In addition to a delicious lunch and spectacular scenery, we enjoyed catching up with Chuck and Hazel.
Our drive home was through the breathtakingly beautiful, snow covered San Bernardino National Forest.
"I have always loved the desert.
One sits down on a desert sand dune,
sees nothing, hears nothing.
Yet through the silence something throbs, and gleams..."

Look at all that snow! While we were driving to Disneyland Fred saw the mountains and said that we should be driving there instead! I would choose Disneyland over snowboarding any day. But that's just me...
Yesterday was a surprisingly beautiful day. Great for an old fashioned basking! :)
