Here is my recycled garden bench. I found it in a badly weathered, broken condition at a yard sale. Recently one of my grandsons surprised me by replacing the slats with a resin based material designed for decks. Inspecting it is one of my traveling companions, Ruthie May.

Desert life

Living in the desert has several perks. Number one on the lists of both good and bad is the weather. Six to seven months of the year we have comfortable temperatures, clear skies and mild sunshine. The other months are scorching hot, full of glare and with occasional monsoons. But even with the heat you can count it as good for you, giving you an excuse to stay inside to read, think and/or create without feeling overly lazy.
