Goodbye, Beautiful - An Ode To Plants In The Desert

I’m looking at my plants and I’m starting to grieve.









































July 1st, our town started a mandatory watering schedule.
Twice a week.  No more than that, or we’ll be heavily fined.
And my plants, my beautiful outside oasis...I wonder how it’s going to fare.
I know in the bigger picture that they are here but for a moment anyway, but I love them so much.  This is my quiet place, I hang out here almost every morning at 5:30.  And I’ll miss the plants so much when they’re gone.  And gone, they will be, most certainly gone in 108-110 degree temps without every day watering. 
I guess I better take some pictures while they’re still (mostly) beautiful.

Lord, please send rain.  Our farmers, ranchers, we all need it.
