What a glorious day. Sunshine, 75-79 degrees and the wind was blowing. Perfect timimg. Met up with Kari in the parking lot at the Botanical Gardens. We took the 11:00 tour with a docent who talked about desert plants and how they survive with or without water. The ocotillo really isn't a cactus. If it has enough water, it leaves out. If it gets too dry, it looses its leaves and can do this multiple times over the year. Had lunch and prickly pear cactus tea at the patio cafe. Made our way back to the center and headed through the wildlife plant areas. Checked out the plant sale. No purchases from either of us. I had to buy a few trinkets there. Stopped at Zoe's Trunk
quilting store on my way back home. Nice store, too. Made a stop at the post office (to pick up something with postage due-media doesn't get forwarded free-and back home. To the pet area where Murphy was fetching tennis balls! Honestly, this is the first time he's ever done that. Guess he liked chasing Gracie (german shepard who stands in the radio flyer so she's not "walked" to the area) that he decided he should do it too. Quiet night on the home front.
