Seahawks!

Well, there certainly is no debate about what we did today. We did sleep in, so it wasn't too terribly long before the football game was on. I think every resident of Washington state no matter where they were geographically today was rooting for the Seattle Seahawks to beat the New Orleans Saints. Even though there were a few scary moments, the Hawks came through in fine fettle. And this evening we are watching the New England Patriots play the Indianapolis Colts. There are two more games tomorrow, then another set of games next week to find out who will be playing in the Super Bowl.

I walked the perimeter of the RV resort yesterday. It's a little easier walking on the sandy gravel than on the pavement throughout the resort. Besides, I really enjoy looking out at the desert which is just on the other side of the rail fence.

The mesquite trees are still a bit green, but everything else is looking pretty brown.

 The Verde River is all barricaded off from walkers as the banks are supposed to be undercut and dangerous. I could see a bit of it from where the bank has been eroded away.

The bushes may be looking pretty brown, but there is grass growing all over since the rains a couple of weeks ago.
