White Sands Sunset

If I could spend only one hour in White Sands National Park, this was the correct hour to spend.

Carlsbad Caverns National Park

I have only a couple bucket list items from my childhood. Seeing the bats at Carlsbad is one of them, and I have finally done that one!

A spring day on the Oregon Coast is filled with astonishing sights.

I am grateful to have the chance to camp with my kiddo every year.

First time in Joshua Tree National Park. I hope to come again and hike the trails here.

We spent a hot weekend in Palm Springs visiting my Uncles.

There are my own rhododendrons, but also a public rhododendron garden with my name on it. What’s not to love about that?

The tulips took up an unexpected amount of my attention, though so many other things happened.

My intent was to return in the sunshine but that never happened. So I will show you only how beautiful cherry blossoms are on a grey day.

We are keeping our spirits up by celebrating small activities around the house.
