There were sub-freezing temperatures in the early mornings last week. This week there are high temperatures over 90F, and apart from the acequia water that arrives in our gardens every two weeks, the ground is powder dry. A harsh environment for baby tomatoes and chilis and squash. My artichokes are so enormous that they provide shelter from direct sun for some little plants. One doesn't want to complain, but a brief respite between winter and summer would be nice.
The snow-birds are wending their way North in their RVs and campers. Back to the summer home in Montana. Back to the farm in Iowa. Good-bye, good-bye. Have a nice summer.
All part of the lovely, unpredictable pattern of the earth I guess.
