    The desert is alive with flowers around here. I love seeing them but my allergies, not so much.

    I've seen recent article describing it as a "Super Bloom" year in the Southwest desert. I would love to experience it, and my wife, the real gardener of the family, even more so.

    No bluebonnets in sight this year on the anniversary of last year’s report.

    No rain here this winter so I expect the spring flower to suck.
