Signs of Spring

Even though it hasn't rained in over 6 months, the Mesquites are tapped into the source with roots that can  transport ground water from up to 100 feet away. The very dry desert is suddenly green as these trees come back to life, signaling without a doubt, the end of winter.

RUBY ROAD

I got to name my road this week. I chose to name it after my grandmother, "Ruby" who died earlier this year at the age of 98. Ruby lived almost her entire life in South Africa. When she visited us once here in the United States, she said that one of the things she likes most about America are the street names. Fitting.

We were lucky to have her leave us her life story on tape. We made a website for her, with pictures, soon after she died. You can find it here.
