We drove out to the desert area after we stopped to get Jenae her pop!
The desert has a beauty all of its own...and most all desert plants have stickers and you could even feel them through your shoes!! They are sharp!!
One of the plants that you usually picture a desert to be is the Saguaro... the plants with all the arms...they grow these arms to balance themselves and it takes many years to grow an arm...also they live to be hundreds of years old and they are a protected plant.
We are a little early for the blooming of the desert....some plants you could see where the blossoms were forming and one plant had an open blossom and a couple more just starting...they are sure beautiful!!
I had never been to an IKEA store and had heard much about it...so now I've been and it is a neat place to visit......they have almost anything you would want in the way of household furnishings and decorating items...just a good thing that there is not one near us because Alicia would really have a hayday there!!
