localweatherA slightly chill morning, still hanging at our low of 43F/6C just after sunrise. The sky is almost completely clear blue except for high cirrus over the distant mountains. The expected high is around 79F/26C, warming up a little after the blustery cold front moved through two days ago. We're expecting another tomorrow (see: cirrus), this one with possible rain.
Early spring has definitely sprung: the turtledoves and mourning doves have been very coo-y all over the place, the hawks and kestrels calling out occasionally, and the grackles -- oh boy the grackles have been loudly frivolous when they gather. The lupins are in full bloom, ditto cassia and brittlebrush, and the first African daisies are opening. The pollen alerts are high, almost all ash and cottonwood.
