What a little water will do, do, do . . .

Here's a photo of the terrain around Prescott Valley. Pretty dry. But you have to remember this is the high desert so dry is in.

BUT WAIT!!!

Let's pull that lens back a bit.

Oh! What's all this green stuff? Why it's the Stoneridge (aptly named) Golf Course. See what some water and some mowers can do . . . even here in dry, dry, dry Arizona? Did I mention money? Yeah, a lot of money helps, too.

    That is a rather strange and surreal site in the desert. I bet that costs a fortune to keep maintained. I suspect it is popular?

    There are several courses in the area and they all seem to be thriving.

    Do you have to pay for your water usage?
    We do, & there is talk of the council raising the price sky high.
    This year our rainfall has been good, but the water catchment areas have little rain- the dams are built in the wrong locations!

    Meg - Yes we do but for some reason it's low priced here.

    I don't golf, but I enjoy watching Tiger play, thought it is on the TV and not in person.

    Same here, Steve, and today he's on the prowl again.

    I came back to just stare. I think my law chair should be in the middle of that field, with a nice umbrella, some refreshing mohjitos, some light music...nah no music...just silence. and a cabana boy who is also silent but serving chilled chocolates.

    I am starting to suspect I need a real vacation that does not involve a hospital.
