Following the winter rainy season, which on the desert is of short duration and not plentiful but enough to moisten the dry as dust hillsides, changing the dullest browns to brilliant greens, giving promise of a gorgeous sight to be, when these small plants and shrubs bud and bloom, thus changing to a fairy garden scene this waste land called the desert.
