Easter is in a few days. Here in Las Vegas we have already had 90 degrees temperatures and our back yards are in full bloom. Everyday now the park across the street from my house is full of families and their pets having a great time. We even have a few soccer teams practicing in the evening in the park. This time of the year everything seems to come alive- I love seeing couples taking an evening stroll around the nieghborhoods. For me this is the best part about living in Las Vegas-it is not the gambling and craziness of the Strip. There is so much to enjoy away from the Strip.

In June or sooner the temperatures will hit the century mark and all the outside activity will slow down for a few months. Like the bear in the winter the Las Vegas natives hibernate in doors staying cool with their AC. Then by September we all venture out again. The fall is amazing here. If you wish, you can go to the mountains to watch the leaves change. My Ash tree in my front yard does not change colors and drop its leaves until December. It only stays dormant until March and then it is green again. That is the magic of living in the desert.

I have traveled the world and lived in a few foreign countries and I can honestly say the sunsets in Las Vegas are some of the most beautiful in the world. I am proud to say that Las Vegas is my home.

If you plan on visiting Las Vegas - come in the spring or the fall you will not be disappointed!

Happy Easter,
In Joy,
Vicki
