G-O-N-E

Palo Verde tree blooming in Lily's pen.

As the seasons change...

The desert is blooming. The Palo Verde trees have turned the landscape bright yellow. Their intense yellow color and tiny flower reminds me of the Forsythia blooms in Michigan.

Temperatures are rising. It's suppose to reach 100 degrees for the first time today.

And the snowbirds have migrated north to their summer homes. Their exit probably occurred over a couple of weeks time but I noticed the sudden change just last week when I went to the grocery store and got a close parking spot then didn't have to wait in line to get checked out.

It's been warmer here too--40's and 50's. The grass is getting greener and greener.

I know of five snow birds that have come back already, so I guess that gives you five closer parking slots!
Glad you still see some season change, even in the dessert!
