desert blooms – Two Trails One Road

Hello Friends

Thanks for joining us over here at

Two Trails One Road

for another

Tuesday Tidbits!

If you are from the USA… How was your Thanksgiving? Ours was quiet and so wonderful! We hosted a Friendsgiving earlier in the week with 20 friends… it was fun and filling! And we had a lovely family gathering in Pennsylvania before we came out here to AZ. Back in Pa. we enjoyed lots of good food and also enjoyed a boat ride. Lots of festivities to be grateful for… as well as our quiet Thanksgiving.

***My dear friend gave this Christmas Cloche to me! I love it!*** ❤️ ***It adds such nice ambiance!***

***I made this Apple Cranberry Crisp again. We had it on Thanksgiving Day. It’s quite delicious! You can find the recipe here.***

Saguaros

On my walk the other day I saw this tall saguaro. (Pronounced sa-war-oh) By looking at its size I believe it is about 75-100 years old. However, what amazed me more was that in its late age… it was starting to grow an arm!

***An arm is starting to grow on this saguaro!***

Here in Arizona… we love our saguaros very much! They are protected. It is illegal to cut one down or remove one from the desert. They can grow very old and can weigh 3200-4800 pounds if hydrated after a rain. I loved seeing that little arm starting to grow… such promise!

Adventure!

We did head out for a desert adventure with a few friends. It was great to be among the saguaros again.

Seeing the back desert roads and views made for a fabulous Thanksgiving Week.

Cleators

Whenever we head this way on an adventure… we always stop in at the Yacht Club. It’s a bar out in the middle of the desert. It’s a place to stop and take a rest from the ride. It’s not fancy… but it’s quite unique!

Inside you see the uniqueness. It’s always fun to look around.

***The Duke is surrounded by George Washingtons!***

***Dollar Bills line the walls inside! And yes… we have added a dollar bill as well!***

***One of the boats in the back… it’s why it’s called the Yacht Club.***

***You never know what you are going to see!***

Thank You!

It was another great week! This is my Digital Journal… and in this wayward world I enjoy sharing the goodness in my world. I’m extremely grateful so why not share it. This is my reason for Tuesday Tidbits!

As I always try to convey… we sure do appreciate all of you. Thank you for joining us for another Tuesday Tidbits.
