Just as some can cook, one can continue, and I mean, of course, this one. So pleasant on the patio last evening, and so fine this morning. So far no rain, but I encountered a light mist and perhaps later there will be rain. New Mexico needs rain badly. I have done what needed to be done this morning and all else is optional today. No doubt, much reading, and some guitar.
So much accomplished yesterday and today! And the weather change has arrived, too, and I like it. It only gets better the next couple of days. Chances of rain increase as a system in the Gulf of Mexico sends moisture our way. And they say it will be a very active hurricane season, and that could help us, too. I'm enjoying cloud cover and winds, and mild temperatures right now. Let it rain.
I had a sensation of change in the air. It was windy and the air was fresh with a hint of coolness. It turned quite hot later. This morning it is very windy and masses of clouds move in, from the south. There is s weather change coming. I had occasion to extend a morning drive into an area to my east where the "boonies" are, and I think it would have been grand to have made the drive in some sort of drophead coupe or roadster. Lotus Elan? That would have been great fun!
There are open fields not far from me, normally planted with cotton but this time there's corn, a lot of it. Excellent conditions for that crop, with high soil moisture and more rain likely later this week, and a drastic drop in our high temperatures. My own crop of sunflowers is doing very well, recovering from the recent barrage of small hail. I look out my window here, and see a sea of green, a jungle. So gratifying! And I made no effort to plant anything. The sunflowers come back, year after year with no effort on my part. The effort comes much later when I have to deal with the dead stalks, but there won't be that many this time, since I've kept things under better control.
Warmer weather is what one expects now, but still not extreme.
