The header photo captures Mitzvah and Chase exploring weeds beside an irrigation canal that streams for a mile through a nearby BLM. Taking Chase there to run and swim is one way of working off his incredible energy. His best buddy, Mitzvah, has plenty of stamina and holds her own with him.
They are a cute pair at the stream. Chase is in and out or leaping it, and she sniffs along its edges.


Yesterday, I took slower steps and watched for newly-flowering plants. Finally, our late spring invites the lovely Wild yellow Irises, tiny Forget-Me-Nots, and flowering clovers to line the steam.

Also starting to pop on the desert side are delightful red monkey flowers, sedges, and newly springing types still too small to identify. Our next walk will be through more of the desert side when hopefully, those tiny plants will be budding more.
Until the next outing, a brief goodbye to those plants and buddies near the waterway.

Dear Friends: A little stroll often fills the soul. Diana
