Sunday the sun was shining again so we went out to see the Casa Grande National Monument. It is the biggest structure still standing of a community of Hohokam Indians that lived in the dessert hundreds of years ago. Hard to believe they could survive in such a harsh environment. They farmed using a series of canals they dug to divert water from the Gila River. That was back before all the dam projects when there was actually water in this river!
The gift shop had a T-shirt I liked that had a picture of a Saguaro cactus giving this advice:
Stand tall
Reach for the sky
Be patient through the dry spells
Conserve your resources
Think long term
Wait for your time to bloom
Stay sharp!
