Several days ago I wrote about the summer solstice, it happens about two hours from now. I've got to say we haven't had a warm spring here in the Rockies. Meals on the screened porch have been rare.
The other DrC, who is blessed with a phenomenal memory, says the wild flowers are not appearing in their usual sequence, some have been early, others blooming late. Likely this is a reaction to the less-than-common weather pattern.
Our mountain valley is very lush and green right now. If summer follows its normal course here, the valley will be much less so come autumn.
Whatever its exact nature turns out to be, summer is always a welcome arrival in the high country.
