April Showers.

1.5" starting at 3am this morning...83 or so high. Tolerable.
Saw there was some heavy rains out your way...I wish.

Looks like high 80's for the week and storms building to the east. At least it's not 90's and above 100...unbearable for me now.

The watering of my house area pinions has helped. The yellow tops and ends of branches has turned to pollen cones lower developing and the tops are pushing new growth. Moisture allows them to push more sap and kills the IPPs beetle.

One perfect Christmas tree pinion, 12ft tall, just died in a week. Trees next to it fine.
Neighbors have lost whole groves.

Come on monsoons!!!!
 
Finally.
2nd downpour of the afternoon.
In between I went and got a big fresh bale of alfalfa and got it unloaded...boots 2 inches high and they come undone as I get back to the truck.

Elk out feeding in open midday. Looking sleek now that the winter coats are gone. Still thin.

14 fires going in NM, lightning strikes.
