May 27, 2013 - There's Gold in Them Thar Hills!

Prickly pear cactus

A single blossom - with insect

Oregon sunshine

We didn't have much sun this Memorial Day - it actually drizzled a good portion of the day.  But there was sunshine aplenty in the desert - specifically, in the flowers blooming in Wallula Gap.  (See samples above.)
 
Rain is such a blessing here.  It may (and did) dampen our barbeques, but we are so thankful for it, I can't bring myself to complain.  I remember as a child, actually going outside to dance in the rain after a long dry spell.  You have to live in a dry climate to understand the joy that a good long rain can bring.
