SOMETIMES IT RAINS IN THE DESERT


It's not always sunny down here. Yesterday the wind began to pick up around noon. Then the clouds moved in and a little later we had showers. After dinner it rained and we went to sleep with the pitter patter of rain on the roof.


So, what do you do when it rains? We hunker down and read. Marlene just finished "The Potter's House" and I'm reading "China Boy".


Friday is market day in Borrego Springs. We wanted fresh vegetables and this is the best place to stock up.


Marlene is being selective.






It looks like we're having brussel sprouts for dinner.





A couple of local trubadors let me join in on a couple of songs. They were doing some of the old favorites.





A rainbow added a nice touch to the morning.
Now the wind is coming up again and I expect we will get some more showers soon.
