Seems that way for a city gal like me some times. Paulden is a part time post office, a gas station and a falling down mini-mart. But 10 miles up the road is Chino Valley and they have a big grocery store and a couple of restaurants.Brenda Whitesidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04162555468154752820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-62605604622330989512012-03-10T00:30:12.755-05:002012-03-10T00:30:12.755-05:00Wow Brenda,

We actually get a little snow in the winter. I think I have a good mix between the desert and the land of 10,000 lakes.Brenda Whitesidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04162555468154752820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-72656623795989087082012-03-09T11:36:57.675-05:002012-03-09T11:36:57.675-05:00Hi Brenda!

I am a frequent traveler to Rancho Mirage, and I have become quite fond of those who stick with the natural flora and fauna of the desert for their yards as opposed to those who insist on having a green lawn and flowers - water sucking in the desert!<br />Joshua Tree NAtional Park is a wonderful place to visit and enjoy the plants of the desert.<br /><br />I can only imagine what a shock this is for you after years of a spring garden back east.Lynne Marshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17156587180087372120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-3035842375359747302012-03-09T10:40:55.475-05:002012-03-09T10:40:55.475-05:00I am excited for you and to see what the desert pr...I am excited for you and to see what the desert produces for you and the family. The mystery plant out front holds my interest right now. I think Frank is slowly breaking down and will revert to childhood days when you played in the mud and loved it. Maybe you should point out the benefit of cleaning up after you're both all muddy and need to 'shower'. ;^)Jody Vitekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06092200862551317755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-69098567709783903472012-03-09T10:27:19.095-05:002012-03-09T10:27:19.095-05:00Thanks, Christine.
