If you wait until June or July to visit the high desert region of eastern Washington, all the new green may have already faded to a golden brown. Early spring in the dryer climates is glorious. Wild grasses and flowers are a brilliant splash of color in an area that can appear bland most of the year. It was an incredible experience to take my mom on an adventure in these parts in the May of 2022. The new life of spring lifted the wells of our souls.
