Final Post to Indiana trip (5/6/14)

Tuesday.  Some welcome sights at home -- the saguaros are just starting to bloom, so we were glad they waited on our return.

Windy today, and lots of dust in the air, but the temperature climbed into high 80s then dropped below 80 when the clouds moved in.  I thought for sure I would miss my Easter cactus blooming, but it looks like those blooms will pop in the next day or so.  (They actually opened up Wednesday morning, when I went out to take my final pictures).

And we have another cactus just about ready to bloom.  May is a very lovely time of the year out here.

The back patio looks pretty empty without Lucille sitting out here, so tomorrow we'll have to get the swing back out and the cushions back on the glider.

And we still have all the baby cows.  I took lots of pictures of them this evening so I hope Lucille can see some of them.  I don't know if they will still be here when she gets back here on the 17th -- the owner is supposed to move them up into the mountains into cooler weather for the summer.

I think if you click on the picture, you should be able to enlarge it.

We went to dinner tonight with Jeff and Brenda.  It was fun catching up on all the news with them, and we even saw a coyote on our way home from their house.  

We bought 566.22 gallons of gas on this trip, which averaged about 6.8 mph, for a total cost of $1.863.96.  Looks like we will be staying home for a while!

This concludes the 2014 Spring Trip to Indiana Blog.  We have no definite plans for our next trip, so I will happily sign off the blog for a while and get busy getting ready for Lucille and Dixie's return on the 17th, then John, Bridgette and Andrew's arrival on the 21st, then Cody's graduation on the 22nd, then Andrew's first birthday party on the 24th (a month early), and Cody's graduation party on the 25th.  After that, you can probably find both of us in some mental hospital.  Busy days ahead.
