how to find the Orion Nebula without the aid of her Astro binoculars

When you wake up to this view first thing in the morning, it’s pretty much guaranteed to be a good day.  

If you can go on walks and see mass planting’s of barrel cacti, do yoga in the pool, and see mountain tops covered in snow, so much the better.

Leisurely evening strolls, followed by sketching and painting at the table as we gazed out at the pool rounded out the day.

Tonight Sister has promised to show me how to find the Orion Nebula without the aid of her Astro binoculars which were left at Moss Cottage when we fled in the wake of a possible gas leak.

All that sounds like heaven! Especially the art fun. And the yoga in the pool. And the stargazing. I have the Star Tracker app on my phone, too. I'm taking advantage of a brief puppy nap to get on-line. Oh my gosh, she's bold and full of energy.

A bit jealous, but 85% so happy for you all!

Love these pics of the desert. Palm Springs just gets it right, eh? Just the right touches in just the right places. I love the retro houses. Sorry to be so late commenting on your annual art retreat. I'm sure Palm Springs will be waiting for the next one.
