Visiting with My Mother '11

I managed to wedge in some time to spend with my mother  in California.
I really miss her a lot.

Her home is in in one of the desert communities.  Its surrounded by tropical flowers and orange trees.
Even the desert plants  abe beautiful

...... as are the vistas.
This is the view of Mt San Jacinto from her front yard in the evening.

When I go to visit my mom , it is always hard to leave..
