You Know You’ve Been in the Desert Too Long

You Know You’ve Been in the Desert Too Long
By Ann Miner, High Desert Branch

You know you’ve been in the desert too long when:

1. The temperature drops to 75 degrees, and you grab a blanket.
2. You start to build a cricket feeder in your front yard.
3. The temperature drops to 100 degrees and you’re thankful for a cool day.
4. You stay up all night because your pet black widow spider is sick.
5. You plant flowers to see how long it will take them to die.
6. You complain when the humidity gets up to 25%.
