We've had temperatures hovering around the 100 mark for the last couple of weeks -- the hottest May on record, apparently. Today, though, was cloudy, and the temperature stayed below 90, which in relative terms seemed amazingly cool and pleasant.

I saw a barrel-cactus flower at lunchtime, which surprised me; I don't usually expect those until well into July. The night-bloomers are starting to put out a few buds, too.
