Our First Stop-Serendiptiy Ranch B&B in Oak Glen

The lovely koi pond at Serendipity Ranch B&B in Oak Glen, CA

I never pass up a good out house!

The beautiful home where we stayed.
The room at the right was our Victorian bedroom for one night.

8 acres of peace & tranquility

Our cute bathroom

A view into the large living room.
The dining room off to the left is where we ate our delicious breakfast.

We enjoyed the beautiful sunset before going into town for an early dinner.

In innkeepers, Bill and Nina Foster made us feel right at home.
Here they are in the gift shop in their home.
The next morning it was cold and foggy out.

Our lovely breakfast

Kirk relaxing by one of the huge sliding glass doors. There were chipmunks, birds and other animals outside to watch.
This is one of few kid friendly B&B's. It has llamas, sheep,
deer, lots of caged birds and other fun animals to walk and feed.

And Then We Went to Indian Wells & Palm Desert (Renaissance Esmerelda)

Most of the wild flowers were finished making their beautiful display,
but we had fun walking around here off Palm Canyon Drive in Palm Springs.

We went to the Moorten Botanical Gardens in PS, which is a cactus haven.
Look at these weird cacti!

Now that's one big Agave plant!

The cute couple

Here are Esther and I outside the lobby at the Renaissance Resort where we stayed.

By the pools at nighttime. We sat out here on couches and chatted until 11:00 pm.

View from our room

These windmills are HUGE!! We drove up next to this one.
The propellers are 35'-40' long each!

Some Recent Views From Our Front & Backyard

The sun had just risen when it "lit" this lantern in our back patio.

We're suckers for beautiful clouds & sunsets!

This rainbow actually ended in our neighbor's yard!
I got wet taking this picture, but it was worth it.

It's not too often we can clearly see all 7 colors in a rainbow.

Our peach tree is really loaded with blossoms. I can hardly wait!

We love this "bleeding heart" tree in our front yard.
There's another name for it, but I like this name.
Our local hummingbird likes it too.

Nathan, Carol, Ellie, Simon & Penny Shackelford came for for dinner on their
visit from Illinois. So nice to see them again!
