WARM UP

Finally, the weather we deserve. All week.

In the 80's.

Why we moved here.

This has been a cold winter. Wet too.

But there is a payoff.

The hills are very green and there are desert flowers underfoot wherever you go off the pavement into the sand.

These are small, teeny ones. Yellow. Pink. Purple. White.

There are big ones too. The desert scarlet, the desert sunflower. These are bush flowers.

Soon, we will be getting the medium ones that only show up when it has been wet, wet.

Everyone will go out to see them. Usually in the high desert is best.

Down here in the valley, we will have the sand verbena which grows in purple carpets in any undisturbed plot.

If you go up high the valley is patchwork.
