Borrego Springs, Ca

~Here is a neat Caboose that one of the residents of the valley has on her property. From what I've heard, seeing a it come down over the mountain, track and all, created quite the buzz in this
small town!

~ Here photo's from seeing the wildflowers in Borrego Springs at the end of March. By Summer, there will be no trace that these existed except in and around area's that have a regular water source.

So many Questions, so little time!

~ Today is my wrap up day before the Boutique on Saturday, (see post below).
I'm home ALL day and Brian is even taking Dyllan out to Chuck E Cheese for dinner and play tonight. But right now Dyllan is driving me "batty" with all his questions! He's only 3 1/2, but he has so much to say!

~ Last night I had told him that I picked up some croissants for him at the market. Here's how our convo went after my comment.

Dyllan: where you got the croissants?
Me : at the market
Dyllan: where the market get them?
Me: from the bakery
Dyllan: where the bakery come from?
Me: from inside the market
Dyllan: how the bakery get inside the market?
Me: it's a place inside the market that bakes breads and croissants to sell in the market.
Dyllan: how the bakery make the croissants?
Me: groan...

~ So this morning at the breakfast table, he shows me a wind-up music box and ask me how the music get's in there. Since I'd barely started my 1st cup of coffee, I asked him to tell me.
And he did. Complete with a diagram on his magnetic doodle board!

I finally gave in to the power of television and am letting him watch Sesame Street right now as a treat before nap time.
~ And now back to summing up the stuff for the Boutique!
