Plus, the Lazy B Ranch was far away from any towns. You could fall from a horse, come face-to-face with a rattlesnake, or have a brush with a cactus. There were many jobs to do on the ranch, and many dangers in the desert.
Sandra and her siblings had to learn to take care of themselves and help out on the ranch. As soon as she could sit up as a baby, a ranch hand would balance Sandra in front of him on the saddle and take her for horseback rides around the Lazy B. Sometimes the cowboys who worked on the ranch would babysit Sandra. She had to, because the Lazy B was pretty far from anywhere, and her parents and their ranch hands had a lot of work to do running a cattle ranch. The ranch where the family lived was called the Lazy B, and Sandra became a part of ranch life from the very start. Sandra was the first of three children, and the oldest by far. She would become a lawyer, politician, and finally the first female justice, or judge, on the United States Supreme Court. Though her family had lived there for generations and she always considered Arizona home, Sandra would live and work in California, Germany, and Washington DC.

Sandra would learn early how to handle the dangers, but her life was also full of possibilities that, with a little hard work on her part, would take her to places far beyond that seemingly endless desert. It’s a quiet, remote place that holds both possibilities and danger. This is the kind of scene that Sandra Day O’Connor would have looked out on from her childhood home in Arizona, near the Gila River. You can see cactus plants, brush, and the dark figures of cattle moving on the plains, and a few distant mountains on the horizon.
The desert landscape also seems to go on and on, with no houses or other buildings, not even a road as far as the eye can see, but hardly empty. Imagine the sky, stretching out clear and blue above you for what seems like forever.
