The desert in spring has to be one of the most beautiful places to be. I know many of you would argue, but it is all I have ever known. The rain blowing across the desert is one of the most beautiful sights, and the smell of the creosote bush is something that I love. For me, it is the smell of comfort. I wish they could bottle it or make it into a beautiful candle. And I have to admit that the lightning storms during the summer are the best...especially in Tucson. The way it echoes off of the mountains. The way it shakes the whole house, and the best storms are those that just make me want to sit on my back porch and soak it all in.
The problem with loving the spring is that it never seems to stay long enough for a great visit. And summer in the desert is just....well... miserable.
Dear Spring,
Please stay a little longer this year. I am so not ready to visit with Summer, but if she must come, please let her bring lots of rain and beautiful and bright lightning.
ME
