- Go to This Fat Moist Desert Escapes Drought This One Year
LisaBarker_JellyMom, thanks for reading and liking my writing. We live long
out here in the desert. May your abuelita live forever. Teh rains do come suddenly, the thunder shakes the houses and the lightning targets things, which make us hide under tables some days. Arizona getrs more strikes, I think than any other American location and the valley behind our mountains, San Manuel, is the place with the mostest ( as the grandchildren say) ...... the scariest, brightest, lightningest place. Don't buy a house there or try to raise dairy cows there.
Come to Arizona again, when it's not raining, okay.....

I gave up, maj, on the hummingbird feeders. I was about to claim habitat
status, if I fed too many other critters. I cut back because I remembered that I needed groceries for me, too. 40 pounds of birdseed a week, 10 pounds of dog food, not counting leftovers, and ten pounds of grandchildren food, and then, there's me.....

I recently visited my grandmother in Arizona...
She turned 90. I was FASCINATED by the dessert and the sudden rains (with thunder and lightning) that come and the persistent heat through it all. Your blog is very enjoyable to read. I love the images you create with your words. :)
