SHOWERING WITH LIZARDS

About the Book

When Mary Ruth Weaver moved to Yuma, Arizona, she had no idea she would someday be showering with lizards! This event gave her the inspiration to write a poem about her experience. Showering With Lizards takes the reader traveling throughout Arizona. Animals, flowers, rivers, gems, and people of the desert southwest will keep you intrigued as you read in poetry and prose the beauty, history, and species names of animals and plants in the desert. An excellent read for students in English and Biology, but everyone will enjoy learning and sometimes identifying with some of these experiences.

About the Author

Mary Ruth Weaver has lived in Yuma, Arizona for 40 years. A native of Tennessee transplanted to Chicago, Illinois, Long Beach, California, and then Yuma, Arizona, adjustments had to be made to tolerate the intense heat of the desert southwest. She loves to travel and explore, not only all 50 states, but also around and about her adopted state of Arizona. Her southern residence of Yuma is less than ten miles from Mexico. Yuma temperatures can rise from 115 to 120 degrees in the summer, and spring-time weather in the winter. She loves the outdoors, traveling, gardening, fishing, hiking, and writing about the beautiful Grand Canyon State of Arizona. She also writes children’s books and enjoys “balleting” with her granddaughters, Gracie and Mattie, and golfing with her grandson, Finn.
