We were in Albuquerque a couple of weeks ago. It was so cold!
One morning we went to the Biopark and discovered this beautiful icy landscape in the Japanese garden. They had apparently left the sprinklers on overnight! It was just in this one section. We assumed it was a mistake or a broken control. It must have been somewhat difficult to fix, because the sprinklers were still going when we got there mid-morning. It was very beautiful. In a major oops sort of way.
Going back and forth between Albuquerque and Tucson in the middle of the winter is very confusing for the part of my brain that tracks what season it is! Particularly when below-freezing sprinkler action is added to the mix. Meanwhile, it’s 75 degrees in Tucson and I have a new Meyer lemon tree!
It’s like I have two lives. I’ll wake up some mornings, not knowing where I am, and I’ll be like, which life am I in today?
