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.
For those of you who missed the celestial conglomeration of the moon, venus, and jupiter last night, tonight is even a better opportunity to see it. The part of the moon that is not directly sunlit, will have a faint glow due the the reflection of sunlight from the Earth. Now this is why I don't miss television.
The sun made a grand entrance this morning. Maybe it's because my brother got engaged today. This post is dedicated to my brother, Gavin and his fiance Natalie. Now if only they would come visit. Honeymoon ?
