Yesterday the temperature in Tucson rose to the mid-70s. Today, the mid-80s -- the first time over 80 this year. The spring flowers are starting to come out; poppies in front of Old Main, a little blossom on the kumquat trees, delicate posies of jasmine. The big orchid-flower tree is full of buds, and buds are swelling on the hedgehog cactus. In the cactus garden, where the wildflowers are running riot to an extent that makes me worry about the smaller cacti, the last surviving boojum tree is covered in rich new leaves.

Ooooh.... Lovely! I hope our spring flowers come out soon.

Thanks! It's been a long, cold, wet winter here, by our standards, but nothing compared to what you've been going through! My mother in Sheffield says she has daffodil buds now, and she's had snowdrops for a while.
