It's very green here. To be honest, it doesn't look like a desert at all. Taking up portions of NM, TX and Mexico, normally the Chihuahuan Desert gets ten inches of rain a year. I think they've had at least that in the last two months and its still raining! The locals have commented how pretty it looks. When we first got here in May it was rather brown. The temperatures are under 100 again - hopefully the temperature will remain cooler than normal.
The bad news is we've had a lot of thunder and lightning which means no hiking in the mountains. Today we drove to Hobbs, NM. A small town east of us, near the TX border. They offer a little more shopping than Carlsbad. Did find a few things we wanted for the RV, and some catnip seeds for the cats (very spoiled cats). Normally I don't have a green thumb, but maybe we'll get lucky and the catnip will grow. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
The sky to the east and south is black, the wind is kicking up so more rain is likely coming. Maybe we'll get a break tomorrow and we can get out and hike before I have to go back to work on Monday.
More soon.
