This past week has been moderately better than the previous 2. The family health is still not quite returned but we are on the mend. Prescriptions have mostly run their courses, ribs are slightly better, vomit still happened but you can't win them all,... right!?
Today we ventured out to the west sides of the Antelope Valley to go see the bright orange fields of California Poppies. If you go the the state park and nature preserve they charge you $10/ car. This year the preserve didn't look all that impressive on first glance from the south east so we chose to go to a hillside that did look quite promising. It was really lovely.
We were warned by a few different people that there had been sightings of the notoriously ornery Mojave Green Rattlesnake. Those warnings and a respect for the fragility of the fields kept us mostly out of the center of the flowers but as you can see the fields were really blooming.
We also got to see a rattlesnake (dead). It looked like it had slithered out to sun on some concrete and somebody bashed it's head in then cut off it's tail for some reason. I don't really like people sometimes.
A few more shots of non people, or non specific people as the case may be.
This coming week is the last before Teresa and Zoey start spring break. Let's hope it's a quick one.
Till Next Time-

Pretty pictures! I like Zoey's shorts with Uggs look.
I had never heard of a green rattlesnake. Those flowers are very pretty. I guess the late rain in California helped this year. I'm glad the family is on the mend.
Once again your family is out exploring and having fun. Nice photos! I'm looking forward to your UT pics, too!
