It might be rain

Greetings from the Inland Empire of SoCal, along I-15 between Corona and Lake Elsinore...
We've been having great sunshine and warm temps for the past couple of weeks. I've enjoyed time gardening and playing in the dirt next door at the Glen Ivy Hot Springs. The garden is operated for the benefit of the religious community there who value organic, home/locally grown fruits and vegetables. They have over 18 acres in grapefruit, avocado, orange and vegetables. It's a real treat to be able to help out and enjoy eating such wonderful produce and fruits. Especially this fresh in the middle of winter. It's one activity that I sorely have missed in our on-the-road life these many years. This opportunity to volunteer and help out in exchange for produce is the next best thing to our own garden, without all the inventory and costs.

Rains are coming so looks like we'll sit tight and hope they pass soon enough for us to move along to Quartzsite and then on to Yuma for our annual dental visit. We do hope to make it to Q, but know the area to be pretty miserable and muddy after serious rains as are forecast for our first of the season El Nino event. Stay tuned for more...
