Triple Digits, No Rain and Legs

Tucson went to one hundred degrees fahrenheit today. On top of the hot temperature, the city has had less than one inch of rain this year. The desert is a rugged place. Even with the heat and no real rain, the life here endures: Heard a few coyote today, saw a jackrabbit, a handful of lizards hopped by and a roadrunner cruised the driveway. The cactus are all blooming and the mesquite trees are all leafed out. It is truly a miraculous place.

Today's quote is from Charles Martin:

"It is so dry the trees are bribing the dogs."
