Apologies, dear readers, I forgot to note the spring equinox which occurred a week ago. Days will keep getting longer, and nights shorter, until the third week in June.
Here on the eastern edge of the Mojave spring-like weather arrived in late February and I’ve been comfortable in short sleeves for a month or more. Winters here on the desert are more or less like anyone else’s early spring.
Back home in Wyoming there is still snow everywhere but they are getting daytime temps above freezing so I suppose the thaw is slowly happening. We’ll get there in early May which is mud season and we’ll probably see the aspens leaf out after we arrive. Our property is aspen forest so we arrive to bare sticks and a few days later, magically we have leaves everywhere.
