Lovely. I love the smell of creosote bushes in the rain and I love the way creatures are part of her day.

Awww, thanks so much! Creosote bushes are the best smelling thing in the universe, in my humble opinion!

Absolutely loved this! As a fellow "free-range" desert child living my entire life in the beautiful CA Sonoran desert, I appreciated every experience you shared. Oh and the smell of creosote....mmmm one of my favorite smells.

Dear Michelle, thank you so much! I love how you termed it a free range desert child. That's exactly what I was-- but then again, it was the 80s and a time when a lot of us were latchkey kids. The Sonoran desert is the best! I hope you are able to visit AZ sometimes.
