With the arrival of rain, we are almost guaranteed the appearance of wild and scenic flowers to delight the eye, such as those pictured below, taken in the village of Chama, some fifty miles north of us, not far from the southern Colorado border.
Though summer in the great Southwest is not as long as some other parts of the country, we do get several months of the season and it always seems to pass too quickly.
“To everything there is a season,” Scripture says, and we are blessed with four rather distinct ones in our high desert setting.
Blessed continuation of Summer to all those in the Northern Hemisphere. Hopefully winter underway in the Southern Hemisphere is not harsh this year.
