Rain fell in the desert in December creating conditions that allow us to enjoy the desert abloom with ocotillo flowers at the tips of the long branches that are covered in verdant leaves.

Happy New Year!! I decided to start the new year with a new head of hair. Yep, I went all GI Jane, Sinead O’Conner, Sandy Baynham (for those who really know me) and cut off all of my artificially colored hair. I want to know the true color and texture of  my hair. I’ve been coloring it for so long I don’t know what it really looks like.  And at least now I know I don’t have a misshapen head!
