The first

    Mollie and I took a walk yesterday on the tar road that circumvents the residential area. It is our normal route.  We took friends with us.  Lee and Marilyn are fellow volunteers and have a small trailer parked not far from ours.  Lee and I explored the Twin Peaks route together.  They had been working on programs and were glad for the interruption and exercise.  The loop is a bit over a mile and on it almost every type of plant and cactus can be viewed.

     The walk was impeded because we stopped often to view the coming of spring on the vegetation.  Blossoms developing on the ocotillo.  Buds and new growth on the cholla. The best part was a single yellow gift from a Buckhorn Cholla.
