Hot

[ellarien]

Suddenly, yesterday, the light was different. Summer light, rather than spring. Hot, clear, skin-stinging. The high temperature went from low seventies to mid-80s overnight. The air is heavy and sweet -- and full of pollen, which is making everyone as miserable as it's possible to be with so much beauty everywhere. The hedgehog cacti are blooming, half lost in the tangle of wildflowers, and I found one prickly pear in the cactus garden.

Meanwhile we're definitely moving into spring here. :) It's still cold at nights -- there was a noticeable frost two days ago -- but on days when it's sunny, it's starting to feel warm.

It's all relative ;) I sometimes say that I'd happily swap one day of English summer for two of the Tucson winter -- the temperatures are about the same, but there aren't as many hours of daylight.
