A COVIDly Kept Year: Staying Put in the Desert
Luckily we visited John and Olivia in Austin by car in late January:


Across the pond my grandson, Reuben turned 6…

I sent him a video birthday greeting…




I met my cousin Jennifer on my Dad’s side in San Diego…

We pulled mustard weed and bagged the flowers before they turned into seeds…

COVID-19 strikes…


And the Thousand Palms Oasis Preserve closes April 1st…

A special 5-way Mother’s Day phone call…

Stomping palm fronds in the dumpster…


Cleaning up and bagging cut piles of reeds at the pond…

“Streaming” for tamarisk…


Returning to the air-conditioned RV…

We bought a new car…

A new sun hat from Yellow Mart…

We celebrated my 68th birthday…


A cloudy cloudy night…


Hikers find an abandoned kitten on the trail…



Andy and Claire got married in France!




A moon rise through the palms ushered in the last month of 2020…

And this is the last picture I took on December 31st…

Of course we took day trips too…


Geology Tour Road (Joshua Tree National Park)…




Wow, I loved all the pics! Andy’s wedding beautiful! Reuben is adorable! Andy looks so happy. John and Olivia look very happy, as well. Love your new car and that birthday celebration pasta looks great. Hopefully you had some good red wine with it! 🍷❤️
