Museum Director’s Notes

By Debbie Benson, Director

Stars spill without end, Moon drapes silver on the mountain rims, Stillness guards the dark March begins that shift towards Spring and the concept of what we see as comfort. This winter seems to be a bit chillier at the Museum as we, much like everyone else, have been in some unsteady weather patterns. We look forward to what we know will be more sun-warmed days though still cool at night. A perfect time for wildflowers to make their showing as only they can. Those warmer days in February, before the storm, started a Spring cycle. The many creatures of the desert will be warming as well so our eyes and ears will be more alert to their existence. It’s an enlivening time. With our new garden area, we will be preparing for planting and a “music area”! Make sure to keep watching for continuing work by our volunteers.

We hope to see many of you at some of our events this month. All of them being a pleasant return to some of what we enjoy the most! A meeting with the membership, a Searles Museum field trip, Free Saturday with the docents and Children’s Hour. Hope to see many of you and the pleasure of saying hello! Enjoy the shift of the seasons, the time change and please continue to Be well!
