Happy New Year. I tip my hat to you.

Baja, those are lovely pics. You are so lucky to have such a pristine place so near by to visit. There's a haunting peculiar beauty about it and the landscape, despite the plants looks slightly lunar. Is there a volcano near by or was it formed by a volcano? I believe that is a UNESCO/Nat Geo-World Heritage place also isn't it? Fewer and fewer of those left but how lucky you are to have one close by. Looking forward to seeing more pics and hearing more about it.

As for us, well same oh-same oh. We're about 10 to 18 degrees ABOVE norm for this time of year with temps on the upper end of the mid 70s. Have the doors open during the day and shut the heat off.

I put the heat on at night as it is freezing (figuratively not literally) until morning. It has been in the 40s. So about a 30-36 degree difference between night and day. That's quite a jump.

(Yeah...I know. Quit whining. But I'm used to living out here so 40 IS cold and 112 IS hot!)

Plants aren't complaining and seem quite happy. I, on the other hand, change clothes about 3 times a day to keep pace. Rolling my eyes. And it is, dry, dry, dry and did I say dry as a bone? Chance of rain in the forecast for next week. Let's hope. Crossing Fingers! Maybe I should water them? Then it will rain for sure. Never fails to work any other time. Hilarious!

Have a good one all.
