I'm so glad I'm still in Arizona as the cactus bloom!
The wildflowers, cactus, shrubs, and trees are all in bloom! While my allergies aren't happy, it's a glorious sight.

| I love how transparent these prickly pear blossoms are. |
If you look carefully, you'll see a hummingbird on the top Ocotillo blossom!
How hot is it?
15F over normal hot. High 90's (37C plus) - today 102! That means all the door handles to businesses are covered with foam, neoprene, knitted covers, etc. I saw a woman carrying a puppy in a parking lot yesterday. At first I was a bit judgy about dogs getting carried - but then I thought about heat on the pavement. I checked with the temp gauge I use to check wheel hubs and WOW - that dog mom was right. It was over 145F!! (63C)
Some of the year-round residents at Rovers Roost Co-op told me that they don't use their hot water heaters in the summer. I found out why this week. The water coming into the trailer was pre-heated in the hose. It was tepid early in the morning and late at night - but during the day it was almost hot enough to make tea!!
Much as I love seeing all the cactus in bloom, I'm very, very appreciative of the air-conditioning in my trailer!
