Although the spring weather can be quite confusing, with snow flurries one day and 80 degree heat the next, one thing that's for certain is that it sure is pretty. I love seeing the storm clouds hover over the valley, while a few rays of sunlight sneak in from just over the mountain. The wind really blows, and while we can usually escape from it inside our modern vehicles and houses, the old-timers were much more at mercy to the elements. Sometimes I think they were lucky, getting to be so in touch with nature, and not being able to isolate themselves from it.

Picturesque, yes. Want to live without running water, no.
Hi! I'm Gretchen, an ecologist, rancher's wife, mother, writer, and dreamer. I've lived and worked in three of the four North American deserts and visited the fourth. This blog is about what it's like to live in the rural high desert on a ranch, spending lots of time outdoors with kids, and our journey to live more sustainably. To learn more about the area, click here. If you'd like to contact me, leave a comment (I love comments!) or email me at desertsurvivor @ live.com.
