Welcome to Life in
the Great Basin!
Summer
sneaked in so quietly,
we hardly noticed her arrival ~
but can hardly overlook
her presence!
One
day it snowed.
The next day, hills
exploded with wildflowers blooming.
Little
birds have taken flight
on tenuous wings.
Wobbly
colts have grown steady,
and ready to run.
Already,
the days grow shorter
by just a few precious seconds
every day.
The
valleys choke on
wildfire smoke
from the west.
Can't
help but wonder,
"How much more can there be
left to burn, out there?"
