God has cared for these trees, saved them from drought, disease, avalanches, and a thousand tempests and floods. But he cannot save them from fools.

Wind Wolves Preserve. Sometime during the month of March, I found myself hiking on the trails that I was not allowed to walk upon as a child, for it was to difficult for my little hobbit legs to handle. The mountains were green and full of life which surprised me. I remember these mountains to be as dry and golden as can be during my last visit which was possibly 10 years ago. I’m assuming the plant life decided to flourish because its friend El Nino brought much rain to our valley in Kern County. Is our never ending drought going to end?

I thought that the farmers would enjoy El Nino’s presence since they have complained that did not have enough rain to sustain their crops, but now they moan that there’s too much water. Their crops were ruined, and we as the consumer had to pay the cost. If anything, I’d blame the drought on the farmers for producing too many crops since the majority of them are thrown away to rot if they’re not bought at the grocery stores. What a waste of resources. We could feed the homeless if we weren’t so selfish.
I expected for there to be a breeze like a sign of God letting me know that I did a good job, but the only thing that tickled my skin was the sweat and dirt that stuck to it. I bowed my head down with my elbows on my knees and my face in my hands hoping and praying for some air to brush against my skin. Soon, the footsteps of my friends grew closer, and they insisted on us to continue to travel to the top of the mountain. This is only the beginning of my journey.
She takes each step with her heart pounding, her lungs giving out, and her apocrine glands producing as much sweat as they could. The three young woman continue their journey up the mountains when they hear the voice of the sky speaking to them. She smiles in bliss for her prayers were answered after much
