THE DESERT TURNS GREEN

WRITTEN BY REX

YESTERDAY IN OUR VALLEY THE TEMPERATURE GOT TO 99 DEGREES!!! WITH THE WARM TEMPERATURES COMES THE CACTUS FLOWERS, PICTURED ABOVE IS MY FAVORITE.

AND SPEAKING OF "GREEN" YOU MAY WANT TO CHECK OUT THE LOONEY BLOGS, TERESA AND BARBARA, FOR FULL ST. PATRICK DAY REPORTS.

I ENDED UP PUTTING MY CORN BEEF IN THE NEW CROCK POT AFTER WORK LAST NIGHT AND LET IT SIMMER ALL NIGHT, IT TURNED OUT PERFECT, NICE AND TENDER. WE'VE DECIDED TO SKIP THE CABBAGE, CARROTS, POTATOES, AND ONIONS, AND MOVE RIGHT ON TO THE GRILLED RUBEN SANDWICHES!!!
