1. I love Arizona!!

:hi:

[Ptah]

2. Don't tell anyone, they'll move here

[azmouse]

3. Those 115 degrees days will scare the wimps off.

I still love Arizona! :)

4. I'd move there in a heartbeat

If I didn't have, uh, an obligation in Bama who refuses
to go outside a climate-controlled building or vehicle
if the ambient temperature is above 80 F. To be fair, though
usually when the temp's 80, the humidity is around 75% or so.

Hey, God's free sauna!

BTW, beautiful pics!

:toast:

5. Thanks, bro.

Contrary to where I grew up (the Montana prairie),
I hibernate from May to September.

7. We adapt to survive

Tell THAT to the fundies!

:rofl:

8. There is a part of me that envies that view.

I grew up in Montana and am occasionally nostalgic for that view.



I'm not trying to rub it in, neighbor.

10. Oh I know you aren't

I'm just itching to get to gardening. The snow has melted quite a bit today. I'm just feeling sorry for myself. Heh.

[liberaltrucker]

9. Why the tears?

That's a beautiful scene. Spring will come.

:hug:

[BarenakedLady]

11. I know it will

And it is beautiful for sure. I'm getting Spring Fever in a big way.

12. Understood, all too well

I once worked on an oil exploration crew. In North Dakota.
November, 1983-May, 1984. Brrrrrr!

13. My dear Ptah!

Ah, your pics hold such promise!

I'm looking forward to seeing your roses again this year...

Thank you, sweetie...:hug:

[Ptah]

15. Thank you, neighbor!

I think this summer will be much better than the last.

:hug:

14. Get out them burlap bags and cover those babies, would you?

16. According to the Weather Underground, the lowest record temp is 30 deg F for tne next six weeks.

I think they'll be alright.

17. It seems that beautiful desert flora usually has thorns

I've noticed this from your pics and personal experience. At one point
in my pre-DU days, I had a regular run from El Paso to LA, up to Sacramento,
back to LA and El Paso. I ran that route for a year and a half. Single at
the time, obviously.

To me, it's Nature's way of saying "Appreciate My beauty, but don't f***
with Me".

:)

19. I think the cactus blossoms are more beautiful for the thorns that protect them.

18. Okay, I get why we should use the metric system, but I like the Farenheight measurement

It makes sense because from 0 to 100 is fairly normal conditions and anything above 100 or below 0 is pretty extreme.

20. It is about 24F in the evenings in Rose Gardens around here
