GET OUT. . . !

IT'S THAT TIME. TIME TO GET OUTSIDE IN THE HIGH DESERT, IF YOU'RE NOT ALREADY THERE. THIS IS THE LAND WHERE HOPE WAS BORN AND IT HAPPENS EVERY YEAR ABOUT THE SAME TIME. DESERT BUSHES AND TREES HAVE COME ALIVE WITH BLOOMS; CACTI ARE NOT FAR BEHIND. THE THREE OLIVE TREES JUST OUTSIDE OUR BACK DOOR ARE NOW IN FULL BLOOM AND HUM WITH DRONES OF BEES. THEY'VE BEEN BUSY FOR WEEKS ON THE ROSEMARY AND NEVER CEASE HARVESTING THE CONTINUOUSLY BLOOMING LAVENDER. JUST TAKE A DEEP BREATH. iF YOU'RE A WRITER, LIKE ME, INSPIRATION RUNS RAMPANT.
