a postcard from the Indian Canyons...

Centuries before we ever got the notion to visit Palm Springs...the Agua Caliente Cahuilla Indians settled in this area.  Their communities were in the bottom of the canyons...where there was an abundant supply of water.



We did a little exploring the other day....hiking through both Palm Canyon and Andreas Canyon.  It was a good time!  I'll fill you in...once I have all my pictures 'developed'.  Smile.

terrific at two!

Two years ago we were also in Palm Springs at the end of October. 

But we hurried home that year so as not to miss a very important event...

that being the arrival of our grandson...

Micah.

Micah...

with the ready smile...

and a twinkle in his eye.

Micah...

a man of few words...

who loves trucks and tractors and things that go.

This weekend Micah will be celebrating his second birthday...

and we won't be there.



He will be 'king of the castle'...

if only for a day!

Happy Birthday to our precious grandson.

Love,

Greetings from Palm Springs...

where the sun always shines...

the skies are always clear...

...and one can spend all day lying under the palm trees reading a book. 

Can you tell we are on vacation? 

Though there are big plans to do some touristy things while we are here...

to this point we have not left the resort. 

I have read three books so far...

and met some interesting people at the pool. 

The blackbird in the photo always comes to watch us eat on our patio. 

I think someone must have spoiled him before we arrived! 

Whether the sun is shining in your neighbourhood...

or you are experiencing a touch of winter weather...

may you have a wonderful Wednesday!
