CLEAR AND WARMER

While the rest of the US contemplates the news that we have had the warmest year on record (make that "hottest"), here in PS, we have been doing our best to counter the trend.

It has been unseasonably cold for three weeks.

Today, a break.

Up to the 70s and shirtsleeves on the walk with Booker.

Me not him.

Similar tomorrow and then back into the 50s with frost at night.

This is all jet stream effect getting over the mountains.

We have had more frost damage so far than any other year. Tinges here and there.

The red blossom bush, no one knows its name, got brushed the other night and now displays dead leaves.

The beautiful trumpet vine up the stucco and on to the roof, courtyard wall, is blooming though. It took today's warmth as a cue to go on the spring bounce. It will have another season before the hot summer. Then dormant until a year from now.

I hope that it is not touched with the freeze while it is doing its part to give us spring.
