Cactus Monday: Howlin' at the Moon

This is a repeat illustration from back in March, but I have been sick with a cold and trying to pack on top of that and get rid of things to get our house ready to sell.  I thought it appropriate to eventually re-post this particular illustration for Cactus Monday, because back in March is when we first thought about moving to Phoenix, Arizona.  Click here to read the original post.

The company my husband works for closed it's once headquarters here in Columbia MD, and he has been working from home now for a few months.  Now the option is relocate, or find another job.  This silly little dream of packing up our stuff and moving cross country is now a reality!!!  In my mind, I can clearly see the beautiful Arizona landscape illuminated by the twilight sky and brilliant stars, sitting at the fire pit alongside our pool, sippin' on some wine.  And maybe hearing a random howl or yip somewhere out there in the distance.
