About

Shannon Cheesman, Author of Under the Borrego Sky blog.

I’m Shannon, a resident of Borrego Springs, California, a serene desert gem nestled within Anza-Borrego Desert State Park.

My husband and I moved here in late 2024 and we’ve fallen in love with the sweeping desert landscapes, warm, welcoming community, and a life lived at a much slower pace.

This blog is dedicated to capturing the essence of desert living. Here, you’ll find insightful stories about what it’s like to live in this extraordinarily unique desert oasis.

Thanks for visiting!

I’m Shannon

Shannon, Author of Under the Borrego Sky

I write about life in the small town of Borrego Springs, California.

My husband and I moved here in late 2024, drawn by the quiet and the wide-open desert.

We’re learning the language of this place, its pace, its stillness, and its seasons.

This is where I share what happens when life slows down.
