It’s windy again today and we wonder if wind is typical in the desert during the winter. Too windy for a campfire and tomorrow is calling for rain with winds 35 to 45mph and gusts up to 50 – wow!
We moved from campsite #21 to #38. Our new campsite is right on the beach with a spectacular view of Lake Havasu. There are only a few campsites adjacent to the beach and lake and we are fortunate to have gotten one. There’s lots of palm trees in the park and Lake Havasu City, but in looking it up, we found out that most are not native to Arizona and come from Mexico, California, as well as other countries. There is one palm tree that is native, but they think birds eat the seeds of trees in California before depositing them in Arizona. Regardless, the palm trees add a nice ambience to the setting, making it feel rather tropical.
After checking into our new site, we visited the park’s garden area. It’s a lovely setting with walkways, cacti, and trees with bird feeders and hummingbird feeders placed throughout. With the windy conditions, there isn’t much bird activity, but we take a couple photos of the garden and hope to return here again before we leave the area.
Justice and I took a walk to the dog beach, and he got in but is not sure what to think of the choppy lake water. There are some ducks swimming nearby and he thought about going after them but decided against it and soon got out. I think he enjoyed it and always likes to cool off in the water. With the wind, he dries off fairly quickly and we get ready to go to the store.
Our grocery pick up is at 4:00pm and Smith’s grocery is a busy store at this time of day. While waiting, one of the workers tell us it will be a little while before they can get to us as they are running behind. We aren’t in any hurry and thank her but its only 15 minutes and they brought our groceries. The worker told us they were giving us a $15 reduction on our groceries since we had to wait! Kroger’s (Smiths) is the best!
