Darlene’s Commentary: Our desert weather is spectacularly beautiful these days. We are at the “between time,” when I choose to languish sitting in the morning sun, then move into the shade where I enjoy the shade and the birds and the air and the occasional breeze, like a cherry atop your favorite ice cream! Of course, that little annoying Guilt Fairy begins to interrupt my peaceful, serene enjoyment reminding me that I really should be using this time for more practical matters, such as getting the darned swamp coolers ready for another season of triple digits. I go into the house and come back with a tall glass of ice tea and a fly swatter. I reach my chair, now in full sun, and adjust it so I have shade and my favorite view of the Sheephole Mountains that are being transformed into a magical canvas of violet and magenta – just breathtaking! As I watch the sunset, I grasp my fly swatter and keep my eyes open for that daggone fairy.

Handy Hint: Here’s another testimonial for a previous Handy Hint, this time from Darlene. Wrapping a head of lettuce, cilantro, celery, broccoli or Brussels sprouts tightly in heavy duty aluminum foil before storing in the refrigerator works like magic! The veggies retain their crispness, color and flavor for about three times longer than if they were left unwrapped.

Until next time . . . remember to take time to enjoy the WONDERs all around us.
