So no big plans to travel...yet. I've been stuck in about a 6 mile radius from my home for about the last 5 months now (having no car at the moment). It sucks on a few different levels, but it is what it is. However, to put a positive spin on 5 things:
- I am once again reminded that Spring is the time for the Earth to smile...in flowers.
- Even here in the Southern AZ desert, things are a bloomin' - which for me means even the crappiest of days can be a little brighter.
- While other people I know are still dealing with snow, tornadoes and other unfortunate weather, we're into blue skies, 80+ degree temps and dots of color every where I turn.
- I can feel less guilty about the lovely weather and Spring blooms knowing that said people will be enjoying much milder temps than I in a few more months when we have multiple 100+ degrees days.
- Slideshows of said desert blooms = happiness to share...(took my camera out for a walk over to the U of A Extension gardens over the weekend .)
Looking for a little outlet for your creative writing?
Those pictures are gorgeous! High of 35 today (at least we're not supposed to get the snow!), so flowers like that are still a ways off for us.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
So sorry you're still below 40 @Vicki - but be sure to come back when I'm posting the 5 things that'll fry on a sidewalk in summer ;)
ReplyDeleteI used to live in Vegas and my brothers actually DID try frying an egg on the sidewalk. It takes a while, but it does cook. I'll take the heat over the cold any day!
