Monsoon this year was good. While the vines I planted along the chain-link fence didn't grow with vigor, I am happy with the overall results of my desert garden. The javelina munching on my fat prickly pear were the one nuisance.
The final weekend of summer ended up being a rainy one. I planned my chores around the weather.
On Saturday I was eager to see the flow of the San Pedro River. I took Fritz and Wolfie on the 4-mile walk. It's become my favorite path to the river in part because of the views, and second, because of the isolation. I started late, at 4:30pm, as the path was already shaded by the mountains.
The river was muddy, but flowing from the overnight rain. The Big Wash had some overflow at the confluence. Both dogs enjoyed the wet refreshment.
