My face hurts!!!

The earth is beautiful and it is full of beautiful places. Look at the blues and greens in the picture below. Then notice the brown spots in the south west that is where I have lived most of my life. When we moved to Utah I pictured beautiful green mountains. I pictured trees, rocks, and mountains in my back yard. I was wrong. Utah is a desert too. There is beauty here you just have to drive up to the mountains (which are not in my back yard) to see it. Or plant a bunch of greenery in your yard and wait a few years:-) Things do grow beautifully here.
My problem is we have some pretty bad air quality here this week. It was worse in Ogden and Provo this week than any place else in the country. That blew Charlies' mind he thought it would surely be L.A.. I just think that Utah needs to catch up with other larger cities in managing the air quality. Right now we are waiting for a storm to come and blow the bad air away. But Phoenix used to have this problem when we moved there and they got in trouble with the government and had to do something about it.

So my face hurts and this beautiful outdoor state is making me sick, literally!
