Back from Arizona

Well, it was something
like Star Trek,
visiting other planets
with strange landscapes,
plants and animals,
bizarrely hot and dry weather.

We stayed in Mesa, near Phoenix,
and visited National Forests
that seemed to have no trees
...only cactus plants.

We saw the Grand Canyon,
and took pictures every three minutes
so there will be plenty to share
in the upcoming months.

An adventure, and a good one.
But, oh, to be home,
where the heat is humid
and as far under 100 degrees
as Mesa was over 100 degrees.

So good to look out the window
and see green, green, green
leaves and grass and vegetables.

So good to be home.
