– Or for that matter, where’s the Moose & Caboose?
A mid-March sunrise along
Vulture Peak Road near Wickenburg, AZ.
Back in mid-March we were
enjoying the warm weather and green pastures near Wickenburg, Arizona when Jack
got a call from a friend in Denver. Conversation
simplified: He sold a house, bought another house, and with a closing fast
approaching he needed to move out quickly.
We hit the road and headed north to help out.
Our little spot in the
world along Vulture Peak Road near Wickenburg.
The green pastures near
Wickenburg. What a change from the dry
desert of Quartzsite only a day earlier!
Love it.
Trail ride along Vulture
Peak Road.
So, in a matter of a couple of days our warm Arizona weather gave
way to the cool, crisp, spring weather of Colorado.
Sunset from our friend’s
new place east of Denver. The lure of
the Rocky Mountains linger in the far distance.
A few days later with the packing
and moving behind us, I pack up Miss Kitty (a.k.a. Gilbert), and trek across
Denver and snake my way up into the beautiful Rocky Mountains – leaving the
guys to work on some projects at the new house.
It’s springtime in the Rockies – and mud season in Frisco.
View across the wetlands
toward the Continental Divide. The “low
hangers” hide the high peaks.
What a difference a few
days make. Gorgeous!
Croak! Croak! . . . Croak!
The croaking of frogs in the
wetlands wafts through my open windows 24 hours a day. Another sign of springtime in the Rockies. I imagine they’re all feeling their oats – or
croaks – and looking for a new girlfriend.
As suddenly as the croaking starts, it ends in a few-weeks’ time. And, ta-da!
An overabundance of frogs! Life
goes on.
And finally, a blast from the past.

Road near Quartzsite, AZ – November 21, 2013
Until next time – be safe.
