Brrrr!

The rain has been awesome, and now the sky is amazing! Saturday afternoon, my wife and I decided to get out and enjoy the beautiful day by taking a walk through the Desert Botanical Garden.

The rain had stopped, the streets were dry, and the sun was coming out. One thing we overlooked - the forecast! We arrived at the Garden and by the time we made it through the ticket booth we were freezing! It was 52* degrees and very breeze, with lots of clouds.

Aloes were in bloom, gaillardia was spilling onto the paths, and birds chatting about. But it was cold!!!

So, we briskly made our way around the short loop hoping the fluffy clouds would spread out and let some sun shine through. No such luck. Maybe next weekend...

Must See at the DBG!

If you haven't been to the Desert Botanical Garden lately, now is the perfect time to go. The Chuhuli glass works are spectacular and there is still time to see it. This exhibition is sure to inspire and amaze. Be sure to check it out during the night time and the daytime.
