Some personal history in poem and song. The photos are mine…well, I dug them out of the archives. That’s the very beginning of the Dusty Chaps in 1969. left to right Bill Lackey, Petey Mesquitey, Woody Janda, George Hawke.
There are three species of Acourtia found in Arizona. If you are a desert rat of sorts, say you walk around, poke around in...
Petey thinks that the plant desert broom (Baccharis sarothroides) would be an amazing addition to a pollinator garden. Oh dear.
Petey leaves work for the hills after deciding that being there now would be better than being here now.
