We're staying in Lemon Tree Villa, named by the new owner after the tree in our courtyard. By miracle, it survived the recent pruning rampage on the grounds and it's covered with ripe fruit. They still provide the pole fruit picker for guest use, so we'll take some home tomorrow. Most fall on the ground and go to waste.
It is the height of high season in Palm Springs, so everything is busy and crowded, from streets to restaurants. I'm not too sorry missing Village Fest tomorrow night, because it will be wall-to-wall tourists. And no wonder people flock here in April-- town feels like a paradise, with flowers blooming and the desert mountains still a delicate shade of green. The heat is just around the corner.
Yesterday we joined a long line of cars paying admission at the Indian Canyons Preserve, then walked the 1 mile loop at Andreas Canyon. It was a lovely morning and good timing. We were just leaving as two school busses pulled into the parking lot.
