Desert Spring

I do believe we may have finally reached spring here in the Mohave desert of Arizona. It has been a long drawn out winter that has been colder than normal, and kept stealing back in to freeze pipes, and houses! The last couple of days we have heard the birds return though, and we are starting to see the growth of new greenery among last years dead vegetation remains. It makes for some neat findings though, like the dried out broken squash vine that left a single wild squash hanging in the tumbleweed, and swinging in the breeze.
