    Diesel champion off road wrecker man lookin' at flowers?? Yep that's right. If you live in the desert when nature blesses you with more moisture than normal the desert blooms. It's a fleeting burst of beauty and color that desert dwellers appreciate. Almost unbelievable at its full bloom.

    Interesting what you said about the sidexside crowd. I guess they're the 4 wheelers of the off road motorcycling world. We used to hate it when they found an area that we loved to ride, they'd tear up the trail and leave trash everywhere. They even got a place called Yegua Creek on Lake Somerville here in TX completely closed. They're not as bad as they used to be. Cool story about the cactus.

  • @BobbieJeanM
    @BobbieJeanM Рік тому +7

    After growing up on the East Coast, when I first saw the desert in Arizona 52 years ago I thought it was barren and desolate without any redeeming qualities. Since then I’ve visited my sister several times and with each visit I’ve seen more of the beauty it holds. Sometimes in hidden spots and sometimes obvious if you’re just open to appreciating what you’re not used to. And now I hate how aliens from the East have tried to make Phoenix look the same as where they came from! Speaking of my sister, I forwarded a different rescue and her response was “knuckleheads”! 😂 Thank you for talking about those who have served this country. When I think of the ones who gave all, first to mind are those who died. Next are those who are alive but aren’t able to live a “normal” life and have lost their families and homes because of what they’ve seen and been through. My heart hurts for all of them and I’m sorry we only recognize them 2 times a year on Memorial Day and Veterans Day. I am thankful everyday for the freedoms we have because of their service and sacrifices. 💕
