When it rains, the desert air is perfume!
A few days ago, there was a rainy, misty day and night (I love the sound of rain on the roof of the trailer!). Creosote bushes, when wet, smell great - the air is filled with the scent. I went to sleep with my windows open and the delightful smell filling the trailer.

The sublime followed by the noxious!
Fast forward to my stay at Rover's Roost in Casa Grande. This is a nice Escapee Co-op Park, near lots of services - but also right across the road from a big farm. The farm has been spraying fertilizer and the smell has been pretty strong. It smells like being right next to a giant, poorly maintained cattle stockyard.
The park is well landscaped - and the birds apparently view it as an oasis
There are thousands of birds: owls, doves, raptors, hummingbirds, and many different little brown birds (I'm not a birder) and every afternoon for a couple hours, they sing and chirp and coo and hoot. It's really delightful (and surprisingly LOUD).
