Rain

Nice rain the last few days and it is so welcome. And the best part is that we didn’t have to endure the nasty stuff they had across the state line in Texas. I could see the back end of that massive storm that hit Dalhart and Stratford, Texas. It had a very pronounced and huge ring of turbulence circling the whole system.

One of the benefits of the moisture we received over the winter and of the recent rain we have gotten is that there is a riot of wildflowers all over. I’ve never seen many of them and yesterday the county agent came out and we are trying to identify as many as possible. So far we have identified scarlet globe mallow, sagewort, ragleaf bahia, an unknown type of primrose and an aster that looks like bog aster but is not supposed to be growing in New Mexico. There are 10 or more varieties of flowers growing in my yard and many more out in the native pasture. Interesting stuff.

Hot, Hot, Hot!

We had the distinction of being the hottest county in New Mexico today. That’s one we can do without for sure. I did get good rain last week but I bet it has pretty well dried out and I am going to have to water my garden tomorrow.

Heat!

Man it has been hot here lately! We were 101 today and it looks like it will be in the 100′s for the rest of the week and some of next week. We are supposed to get a cold front?? in next week that will bring our temps down to the middle 90′s. It rained on Sunday but none since. The grass and the weeds just won’t grow. Even though they have been getting some rain they just look up there and say, “You ain’t foolin’ me!” But, no complaints. It is just summer as usual on the southern high plains. At least the humidity levels have been down. That helps. Laters

Rain!

Yes it did rain! We got a half inch Saturday evening and it came slow and soaked in. Just what the doctor ordered. For those of you who don’t live in an arid climate, those of us who do thank God for every precious drop of moisture. Also, for those of you who think New Mexico is a desert you are wrong. Only a portion of the southern part of the state is classified as true desert. Most of the state is classified as “arid”. That means we don’t get a lot of moisture but we get enough to sustain an active plant life.

OK, go out and have fun today.

Rain?
