Took some pics of the desert on my morning bike ride. I thought they would be nice, but turns out they just emphasize how boring it is out here.
My morning bike route:
One of the largest mountains on post. I think it's about 30-40 miles around the base. You get some kind of recognition if you hike/walk the whole base of it. But with all the creepy, crawly creatures out here I will not be doing that any time soon.
These are the desert bushes that are EVERYWHERE. When I ride by them I hear the lizards and/or gophers scatter away. Creepy!
Aside from those blah'ish looking bushes, there are also these gorgeous, blossoming bushes everywhere. I've seen them in white, pink, and this bright fuchsia color. This particular plant is right outside our backyard gate and actually flows over into our yard.
I cut some off and put them in a vase for out kitchen table =)
Who knew such pretty flowers could grow in the desert!?
This is Tiger (pronounced Tiger, as in the character from Winnie the Pooh) whom I am currently dog sitting. We just got back form a bike ride.
Tiger recently lost her brother to Parvo =(, but that's another story for another time.
Back at our house, there were 2 dogs wondering where I was for over an hour.
They are just too cute!

ReplyDelete@ The Voigt's, I am so obsessed with Boston's. You definitely should get one for your third! hahaha. I'm trying to convince the hubs that we need another one, but it's not going over so well.
