Tis is a blog entry from Bill and Ruthe.
The wind has been dramatic so often here in the last month. We are learning to respect its power.
Despite the winds, we have enjoyed many evenings, sitting outside before and after sunset. We love to commune with friends over a meal or lay and watch the stars. There is plenty of "milk" in the Milky Way here!We have been through a beautiful period of flowers both here at FSC and traveling around the desert environs. A trip with relatives to the Desert Botanical Gardens in Phoenix was amazing and inspiring.
As transplanted Alaskans we are learning to respect the cycle of each days coolness and heat.
We treasure our established trees and are learning about the times and ways to plant and water appropriately in our yard. We continue to benefit from the local community garden and participate in it's care and it's generous reciprocity. With an eye on the bunnies and jackrabbits that frequent our area, we are going to try to plant some flowers and a few vegetables in a cinder-block tower under the shade of our ash tree. Experimental at best!
The rains will come in about a month and everything in the ground will dance in delight (with muddy feet).
