The Glory of the Desert

Since moving here way out near the Superstition Mountains, I have often wondered if my family would be better somewhere else?  Dale and I fell in love with all of God’s glory that we felt surrounding us everywhere the moment we came here over about 7 years ago, to this mountain, this place.  When i drive i feel close to the Lord, I feel close to my Mom and Dad, I feel a huge power of Love.  My Husband and children feel it too.  The beauty and the glory of the desert.  The one day passing of a gorgeous female Deer, to a Coyote the next.  Gardening all year round and finding caterpillars one day, and a black widow the next.  We have learned the beauty but also the dangers of this place that is our home.  But all of these dangers we are aware of, and would not trade them for the beauty any day.  My dear Cole was running around the house on Oct. 7th screaming “Bobcats Bobcats”… he was in his room playing and they were on the block fence right outside his room, a Mama and two babies, I sent Dale with my camera to grab some shots,  when he spooked them they jumped the fence and ran under our neighbors car to safety…..
