DIY Bug Spray, Cell Phone Safety, MOLDY Movie & More!
Are you enjoying the outdoors this summer? Even in the desert we find beauty in this hot season. This wildflower was sighted recently on a summer hike in a nearby wash. (A wash is a dry bed that hosts intermittent flash floods.)
Speaking of summer, it's the perfect time to join us for our Natural Year Challenge!
