When it's springtime in the desert

I am always amazed at how bad allergies can be in the desert. I love a gentle breeze that comes by and cools off the house, but the crazy wind we get here in Sierra Vista is quite rediculous! However, I love the spring, it has become my new favorite season. I love watching the leaves sprout on the tree and bring back the green I long for, even watching the ever so evil mesquite trees turn green is a good thing. I think I am looking at this year a little differently, with a little more love, a little more gratitude in my heart. Even though I still loathe living out of our little town, I am glad we have a house to live in. Here's to shedding a few more pounds and this house ;) Too bad I can't have my flowers too, the silly little wretched mice eat them all :(
