we have spring too

So everyone on the internet around the country is posting pictures of sprintime blossoms jutting forth from the snowy ground.  Pushing tiny green leaves towards the sky; bursting delicate flowers on a tree branch.  Ha! Those sissy plants would burn under our scorching sun! I see your pansy petals and I raise you a prickly cactus.  You haven’t seen beauty until these plants have shown your thirsty soul a vision in the desert.
