Amazing to me that amid the somewhat harsh terrain of the desert, there is such absolute beauty.
Even if it is just for a little while.
Gone, but not forgotten.
We visited beautiful St. George.
Celebrated our twenty fifth anniversary.
Relaxed, laughed, and did a lot of "remember whens".
To leave work, chores, and daily life behind, and enjoy new views,
and sunshine.
How fortunate we were that the desert put on a Spring blossom
show for us.
How it stands out and shines in the red landscape.
You know, I don't think I've EVER gone on a trip that I didn't track down a nursery, and spend some time there.
I adore a great nursery.
An old cotton mill.
It's so great that this old building can be enjoyed by people, and it makes a wonderful back-drop for a nursery.
We'll go back.
It's really not too far of a drive.
We will probably wait for Fall, and the weather to cool down again.
In the meantime, we'll enjoy our valley weather beginning to warm.
I'll share a few more pictures of our trip later.... and I got the best idea while I was there.
I'll share that idea later too.
Attitude of gratitude:
~I'm so grateful for my sweet hubby. He loves me eternally.
I'm the luckiest girl in the world.
~I'm grateful that my sweet hubby is so smart!
We had a mechanical problem with the car, and he was able to pull
into a parts store, buy new parts and right there in the parking lot he was able to fix our car, and
get us back to our vacation! I was trying not to have a melt-down and he just kept grinnin' at me and telling my it was no big deal.
What a guy!
I love the cactus! You just gave me a great idea ;) thanks!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! Sounds like a delightful trip and I love the old cotton mill used as a nursery. The cactus blooms are so very pretty. Hope you have a wonderful weekend.

ReplyDeleteWe vacationed in St George several years ago and vowed to go back. Thanks for the reminder of the beauty there. Patty
ReplyDeleteIt's a small world isn't it ?
DeleteHave a wonderful weekend.
These photos are stunning!! The colors are so vivid. I forgot how much I love the desert. We used to travel down into Arizona. Too far away now. We closer to high plains desert now. Pretty flower pictures. Congrats on 25 years. An accomplishment these days. Fewer and fewer couples make this milestone.

Thank you so much.
DeleteI'll tell you what--25 years goes by pretty quick, but even more so when you spend it with your best friend :)
Well,I am so glad you said something because I thought I was following you and you just weren't posting. Silly me.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post to get reacquainted with. And absolutely what a sweet hubby you are blessed with...and handy.
Thank you for such a sweet comment.

ReplyDeleteMany thanks Tanna..
DeleteSo kind of you.
Happy 25 yrs with your guy- he sounds like a very patient man- you are blessed! I would love to explore that old cotton mill.
ReplyDeleteThat all looks so familiar. The horses at the split rock, my gosh Kerin you were so close to me! Just a few minutes. I love Star Nusery! I'm glad they bought that place, because it was starting to decline! Wish I could have met you somewhere for just a few minutes! Maybe next time!
ReplyDeleteHi Susan...
DeleteYou bet! Next time we are there.. I'm going to give you a call :)
Love the cactus, beautiful. Hey you were in St. George, me too. I love it there so much, I have seen the statues of the horses and Indians, so striking! What a good reason to be there, celebrating your marriage. I looked at your post One Fine Day, loved that one too! I have been to the Old Cotton Mill many times now, so neat1 :)
