My wife had a four day weekend (she's a school teacher) and we were planning to head out last Friday morning. Unfortunately, she came down with a bug a couple days prior and by Thursday night she was toast. You're a lucky guy.

I kind of knew where is it was based on Al's comments in his blog while he was here earlier this year.Doug Laninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12579793294984734214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220245417166381981.post-38097842428029276492015-02-18T10:12:43.570-06:002015-02-18T10:12:43.570-06:00Good morning Cheryl Ann.

Sounds like you and your husband do take advantage of this wonderful part of the country, and do travel around.<br /><br />I like your photos of Lake Hemet. That is a pretty area. Wish I could go everywhere around here, but unfortunately, I just don't know California well enough to find the nice places to visit.Doug Laninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12579793294984734214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220245417166381981.post-50840400038817670332015-02-18T10:02:35.640-06:002015-02-18T10:02:35.640-06:00Thank you, Moonfly.

Hopefully, I can get that picture for you before I leave.<br /><br />Sounds like you have been here before. It is a neat place to visit. I checked out the market last winter and will do again this winter too. <br /><br />Interesting selection of favorite books you have.

I need to take a moment and take Yuma for a walk on real grass for once. He probably thinks the whole world is nothing but desert.Doug Laninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12579793294984734214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220245417166381981.post-43387856732349541012015-02-18T09:45:58.250-06:002015-02-18T09:45:58.250-06:00I am glad I found the snake too.

Wanted to tell you they have a great farmers market with some unique crafts too at Christmas Circle on Friday mornings - Also, the Anza-Borrego Desert is famous for wildflowers and the season has already started. If you google some websites they have daily updates and photos telling you exactly which roads and areas have the best displays each day and when the expected peak blooms will occur. A picture of Yuma in a field of wildflowers would be so cute !!!
