Admittedly, I was getting nervous about moving to a treeless Tempe, Arizona. I realize it's a rocky desert terrain, but if the Tempe Daily Photo blog is to be believed, we will not be completely without green vegetation.
But none will be as lush as those in beautiful Savannah...
Sniff.
I stayed in Arizona for a few weeks during a cross country adventure. They used rocks for grass. Not just our comrads but the whole town. It was not very lush. But, the horizons were gorgeous and the starry nights were unbelievable.
...there's the gorgeous skies and views of the mountains!
When we moved to Arizona the first time, in 1999, I was nervous too about missing trees. I was used to the "my god, they're on fire!" look of the autumn trees, telling my body and soul that fall was here and to get in gear for Christmas and winter! When we moved to South Carolina in 2006, I thought, "Hey, we'll be around trees again!" But the reality was that they kept me from seeing the horizon, the sky, the weather....
I hope you'll be happy here in Arizona. We're so excited you guys are coming!
Anne.
