Things Are Humming

There are many things going on here in the RV Park to prepare for the Christmas Season.  But, the warm weather, green and Humming Birds makes it feel more like spring.

The neighbors have a feeder that gets guarded by these little creatures.

This is the bottom part of a palm tree.

Below you can see the Christmas bells that we hung up.  We noticed the little "hummers" buzzing around the red bow, so we decided to hand a feeder up, too.  

We have been enjoying our little patio area, but it has gotten a bit cool the past couple of days and it was windy, too. We'll need to pack this all away while we go up to spend Christmas with Mom.  We'll head up there on Thursday.

When we arrived here the gardens were all bare and being prepared for planting.  They water this area everyday (we can see the gardens from our RV window).  

Last week we had some time at the pool and it's such a lovely view for December!

What a unique cloud formation on the above picture.  We have still been walking daily and enjoying the green fields of produce.

The canal system is very intriguing and I love to walk along and here the little waterfall areas.

 Many people ask me how Mom is doing.  She is doing great!  She has been busy with outings with her friends for Christmas dinners and then my cousin Marty and his family treated her to a lunch buffet.

Thanks for treating Mom to a great lunch!

Well, time for me to get ready for church.  We have a great service right here in the Park that we enjoy.

Tier Drop All Aglow

It's such a beautiful night here in Wellton, Arizona that Craig and I went out for a walk around the RV Park tonight to look at the Christmas decorations and enjoy the full moon and the 68 degree weather. We borrowed an extra tree from Mom to use until we go back up there in a couple of weeks.  It's perfect for a little patio area.

This is the main entrance.

I just enjoyed the dancing lights on this place.

This is what they call a "Park Model".  They are about 400 sq ft like a small mobile home. Many snowbirds rent the space and then buy one of these and leave it year around.

Above is the Recreation Hall and Saturday night is Bingo Night.  It looks like they had a good turn out.

Hope you are enjoying this gorgeous full moon.

Blessings,

Kathy

Bonfire in the Desert

We were invited to go out into the desert for a hotdog roast over a campfire.  There were 30+ that went and it's only a fraction of the people that live in Tier Drop.  I really can't tell you what the total population is, but I'll see if I can find out.  We drove about seven miles out to a place that many have come to before for the gathering.

Donna and Al and the couple who first told us about Tier Drop when we met them last year while we stayed at Duck Creek RV Park in Las Vegas.  They also brought us out for the fun night.

We had lots of good food and a very well tended bonfire. There was also a wonderful Full Moon to brighten the night sky.

Wellton and Yuma

We drove the Honda back from Mom's to Tier Drop where the Whale was waiting for us.  Friends kept an eye on things for us and it was nice to know that.  We took the CA route to miss Havasu since it was the day after Thanksgiving and the traffic wasn't bad at all.

We rebuilt our patio after closing it all up while we were gone and we put up a few Christmas decorations.  I posted these on Facebook and then realized that some that follow my blog aren't on Facebook. We borrowed a small Fiber Optic tree from Mom that she didn't use this year.

We are still waking up to beautiful morning skies.

I tried a couple of Panoramic shots to see how they will work on the blog.

We still try to go for a long walk in the fields once a day.  We had a nice light rain that left some of the sandy paths pretty wet.  In the below picture I thought the back mountain looked like a man lying on his back with his hands folded on his stomach.

There are acres of fields with paths around them that we love to walk.  They are just to the west of Tier Drop RV Park.

The cactus along the front wall of the park are in bloom, too.

Their is a small grocery store and a Dollar Store in Wellton, but for any major shopping we drive 20 miles west over a small mountain pass into Yuma. The rain was moving out of the valley.

On the way back down out of the pass, you can see Yuma and also this place for walking and hiking into the foothills.

We stopped first at an outdoor vegetable/fruit stand for amazing things that have just been harvested out of the fields.

We plan to drive back up to Las Vegas in order to spend Christmas with Mom.

Hope you all had a Thankful THANKSgiving!

Blessings,

Kathy
