Today we drove from Arizona into Las Cruces, NM. It's amazing to me to think of what life must be like out here where you can wear shorts pretty much every month of the year. The pastor in Yuma told us that he gets kind of excited when it rains. I can't exactly imagine getting excited when it rains in Ft. Wayne. The weather is beautiful here. Sunny, clear skies. Last night, we walked around the hotel in the Arizona desert and the stars twinkled in the deep blue night. It was mild and lovely.
On the road, I'm reading to the guys about desert wildlife, flowers, cactus, etc.
This guy is a kangaroo rat. He can jump up to 10 feet in a single bound. Cool, eh? I think this is the guy who never drinks water. He gets his water from whatever food he eats.
This is a desert coyote. We heard these guys howling last night when we went on our walk. They like to eat prickly pear cacti.There are lots of other animals we've learned about. I'm working on a story which I think will be called Coyote Canyon, Coyote Moon, or something like that.
Why not "Zombie Coyote" or "Coyote Carnage" or "Snuggly Coyote Pets of the Living Dead"?
ReplyDeleteJust a suggestion.
hahahahahahahaha
ReplyDeleteScott and Jacob have, of course, suggested such titles already. They often lament the fact that my children's books do not have enough zombies in them.
