We have had lot of rain here in the desert the last month, at least a lot for us! The last storm came through last last weekend and as I made my way out for my weekly desert trail run I noticed a change. The desert has joined the GREEN movement!

The hills and trails that I run at Thunderbird Park in the northern part of Glendale, Arizona are usually brown, dry and really kid of boring. Not now, everything is green! All of the native bushes and plants are green, grass is growing on the desert floor, everything is green.

It only gets better because when the weather heats up a little all of the spring wild flowers bloom. That is an amazing sight, white, yellow, purple flowers growing everywhere.

If you are ever in the Phoenix or Glendale area and want to see the desert up close and personal, give me a shout. I would love to take you out on an adventure. My final thought is if the arid desert can make the effort to join the GREEN movement why can’t we?
