A week in the desert

We've had a week of family visits with hot weather, golfing and shopping. Thursday night we made our way to the Palm Springs Street Festival and walked down the avenue picking up fresh tomatoes, avacadoes, asparagus and lettuce, then filling up our bags with almonds, dates and kettle corn! By the time we'd arrived, the crowd had thinned and as we stopped to eat some street food, we watched the parade of pedigreed dogs and their proud-as-punch owners go by. One woman purposefully strolled up and down with her pekinese dressed in a little pink hat and pink coat. Both noticed us watching them and came over to allow us to admire and possibly take a picture. We stayed long enough to watch the vendors go through the take-down process. Giant vans pulled up and were loaded with propane tanks, grills, tents, supports, and boxes and bins of treasures yet to be appreciated. Hard way to make a living.
