Desert Horses

Welcome to my horse blog, Desert Horses. We live in the desert southwest, near Palm Springs, CA, but board our horses up in our local mountains where it is cooler in the summer. I have 3 horses, all rescues. Here is the ranch up the mountains where the horses stay.

Little blue house (continued)...



















I'm just fascinated by this little blue house! :-) Now, every time we drive to Joshua Tree Natl. Park, I'm going to have to stop and visit it! Why, it even has a mailbox and portable lanterns. I haven't discovered the outhouse, yet, however....hmmm.....maybe it has indoor plumbing? Here are more pics of the little blue house, the little pink one, and odds and ends around them! And, it is in such a beautiful area! It's nestled right up against the hills. There's even a water reservoir nearby!
Oh, and I've added a poll question: Have you seen the new True Grit movie? Hubby and I saw it during Christmas vacation. We LOVED the actress who played the young woman...she's quite mature!

Little blue house revisited









On our way our of Joshua Tree National Park, I had the opportunity to stop and further explore the little blue house which I posted about last week. This little house sits on the main road into the park, from the west entrance. Despite the "Keep Out" sign, I crept around it and found a second little house behind it! Wowza! Two for the price of one!!!! Hubby was resting out in the car, so I had time to do a ittle exploring! I'll be posting more pics this week. I'm so intrigued by its history and the little pink house on the property...who lived there? What happened to them? Why did they leave? Where did they go?????????? These little houses are right down the street from the now-deserted horse ranch, which is also on the road to Joshua Tree National Park.
