I befriended a horse today. I saw a family of quail on a side street (Two were squabbling with each other). I saw bunnies with big white fluffy tails.
I saw a turtle-dove nesting, a sun fried bearded lizard, all sorts of little lizards. I saw more quail while hiking. Then I was enchantingly led through the desert mountains by a critter that looked like a cross between a squirrel and a chipmunk.
I had a rattle snake scare and right as I was walking alert as can be, a hawk flew out from inside a bush (kinda near my head) scared me… I yelped!
And then I saw two hummingbirds on my way home. One after the other. The significance being that I have only seen a hummingbird once in my life and they have always been like little mythical creatures to me.
That was a treat. I smiled from ear to ear. 
The smell of the desert after the rain..
woodsy, warm honey and cedar with a hint of floral… 🙂

Sounds like a wonderful introduction to a new home! Good for you! 🙂
Welcome to the desert!
I may have been born and raised an east coast gal, but in my heart of hearts, that’s not the true me! I’m an explorer with a curious heart born for adventure~! The west is like a dream… 😀 Thank you Jennifer and cloudborne!!
