April 18

In Tucson


The Jasmine is blooming on the vines that cover the adobe house where we are staying. When the sun’s rays crest the mountains on the eastern horizon in the morning, they strike a wall resplendent with the vines, and the perfume that is released makes me think of the Egyptian scents that I’ve only read about.

Small breezes pick up the scent and combine with the smells of mesquite and blooming Palo Verde, and the smell of the desert in the morning is like no other.
