On the Last Day in May

With Chihuly

Not Chihuly

Desert Botanical Gardens

It was a crazy stunt, but we could take it because we're natives. And, it was the last day of the glass exhibit. On a very hot and dry Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m., we trailed through the desert to see the Chihuly glass installation at the Desert Botanical Gardens. The place is a lot more garden-y, by Sonoran Desert standards, than the pictures reveal. How I miss Fort Worth--the grasses, the roses, the water and trees, even the squirrels running across the streets. But I'm grateful I got to be here on the last day in May.
