May 7, 2019-
May is often a dry month, here in the Southwest.
Often, but not always.
Three years ago,
snow greeted us,
on Mother’s Day.
This week,
we are promised
lots of rain.
I look outside,
and see nature’s bounty,
falling quite heavily.
It is likely to continue,
tomorrow, and maybe,
all the way to Sunday.
This bodes well for
a later, and maybe
less intense,
fire season.
It bodes well,
also,
for the insect population.
So, I will keep copious amounts
of natural repellent,
at the ready,
for those busy days
in early June.
Today, though,
I will sit quietly,
and focus on
my books.
Nature is replenishing
Mother Earth,
in time for Mother’s Day.
We’ve had drizzle recently, but not really any real rain. It’s gray and windy — almost blustery — but not wintry! Good weather for the books and the paperwork!

It seems like June gloom is a month early. The forecast for next week is for the annual march towards triple digits (in the low desert) to resume.

For the last few years, we have had May Gray in addition to the normal June Gloom! It’s supposed to warm up a little here next week, but not to the level of heat wave. Enjoy your summer!
