SEVEN

When we moved to the desert seven years ago, we had the 'worst' winter since. It was cold. It was rainy. Many people came out to visit the paradise we had found and saw near back-East. Of course, it was not that bad; but when you want to show off, and the weather is not cooperating, it feels a lot worse than it actually is.

Then, in our first Spring, we had our reward for all the punishment. The desert came into bloom. There were wondrous expanses of flowers all over the valley and in the high desert as well. Desert rats told us to get out and see it all because it 'only happens every seven years'.

They were right. We have not seen the flowers since. We have not had cold rainy winters either. We have lived through a long drought.

Now, we are having cold rainy weather. It has been seven years! The rats were right. It will be a glorious spring--carpets of flowers! I love cycles.

Did I didn't mention when our Spring begins? The show will start in mid February!
