When it Rains in the Desert

When I was growing up in northeastern Ohio I had little appreciation for the rain because it rained so much there, often ruining much-anticipated outings:  picnics, golf, etcetera.

But when you live in the Chihuahuan Desert you often pray for rain.  And when it comes it's such a relief, like the flowering of a really colorful idea.

Thanks for the location of the High Rolls. When I vacationed in New Mexico in March a few years ago, I stayed two days in Ruidoso and had a chance to do one hike in the Lincoln National Forest.

And, last but not least, I, too, grew up in northeast Ohio--the city of Garfield Heights just southeast of Cleveland.
