Spring in the desert. I didn't realize that spring would be so pronounced. Overnight the shades of browns that decorate the desert fields and mountains turn green. Look closely and you will see purples, yellows and pink  flowers, blazing oranges on the branches of tall spindly bushes. 
We spent March back in Desert Hot Springs, awaiting the return of our friends, Malina, Rhonda and Leah. They were in Canada for the month. We were also waiting for our little puppy to get old enough to come home. 
We got a little bug and for the first time this season felt under the weather. It is interesting how healthy we've been. Feeling crummy being in the desert, hanging in the sun, watching spring while the rest of the world is covered in snow was a-okay. 
I really missed San Diego, both of us did but sometimes getting up and moving seems harder then staying somewhere that we like just okay. Especially when we aren't feeling great. So we made it a good time, going on walks, finding new playgrounds almost everyday. Swimming all the time. Isa now swims the length of the pool, diving and cavorting like a dolphin.
A little spring in the snow... hearts and songs, renee
