The wind rocks the car and I've ﬁnally given up and closed the window. Large, dried weeds are being tossed across the road.

Another cold, snowy day. So I'll just step into a past spring and go with my birding buddy Karen on a day-trip to Moab, Utah.

I'm a native of Colorado, but years ago I left to teach school in Las Vegas, Nev. There I met the native plants of the Mojave Desert and I've been amazed and enamored by all native plants since then.

A few weeks ago, when we'd had our first frost, I checked out the sagebrush by our garage. This native blooms in the fall and it still had erect clusters of small, yellowish flowers.
