I am waiting for rain this morning. Dry, dry desert here in southern Arizona. Sonoran Desert to be specific. Its been since October 17th since the last real drops of blue liquid fell gently upon the green figures of Saguaros and Barrels and Opuntia, all waiting patiently....
Fires are burning in Payson, in the White Mountains above the Mogollon Rim in Northeast Arizona. It's February and there is no snow pack. Rangers reported seeing fires burning under the little snow pack there was in December. Imagine! Fire under snowpack. How is that possible?
Waiting for rain is not a bad occupation; it causes me to synchronize with my surroundings and sit by my cactus companions. We are all in this together, are we not?
