| Flower stalk of the Soaptree Yucca |
Becca and I tooled around the west side of Tortugas Mountain this morning, baking in the heatwave gripping our region. We're in the 90s already--far too hot for this time of year. The heat will continue through the week. After our hike I went to buy cooler pads for our evaporative cooler, then mounted our roof to get the darned thing running. Although I overhauled it completely, right now it doesn't feel as if the pads are getting enough water. I'll have to check tomorrow since it's too hot to go up there now.

Even in a drought, there are still lots of cacti and flowers blooming.
...reconsidering Las Cruces as a retirement home right now (90 degrees in late April)!
But it's a "dry" heat, Scott.
