I didn’t know you grew up in the desert! I can totally imagine being a kid and vacillating between being too cold inside but too hot outside haha also, playing mermaids in the pool and watching Thirteenth Year is such a core memory!

Also, every time I go to AZ I think about this book I used to have growing up called The Cactus Hotel. It illustrates the life cycle of the cactus, how it keeps giving back to the desert even after it dies. I’m glad to have had that book because it helps me appreciate the true beauty of the desert 🌵

Ahh the desert. Loved reading your memories! Very nostalgic. As you know, my home reflects a bit of our desert life in with my love for beach life. I consider myself lucky to have lived in the desert, mountains and beach. It's all a part of me I suppose.
