Today our youngest daughter turns 37….it just seems like yesterday she was a tiny tot.
We are still very cold…I mean very cold! Although, it’s sunny and bright (which helps) the wind is terrible and very cold. It’s like being in January all over again. If the weather people are right, by Sunday we will be in the 80s…I can handle that! 🙂
A rainbow did appear as the sun came out from behind the clouds! I love seeing rainbows.
Anyway, while we were up at the upper end we saw another wonder of nature….
Desert Evening Primroses were everywhere….the moisture and the weather must be just right for these to pop into bloom. It’s been several years since we’ve seen them!
Although we are terribly cold…I’m now down to raiding my scrap heap for wood —(I refuse to open up the wood that is being seasoned for next winter) ….the earth and the skies have given us gifts untold!
Lucky us And you!
From a cold windy land a cherry Good Morning!

Those primroses are wonderful — so delicate in the middle of the desert. The best spring wildflowers I ever saw were in the mountains in your beautiful state. In August.

I’ve never heard of these flowers. They are lovely, and must have been a welcome surprise just as the cold bites in again.

Evening Primroses look a lot like Bitterroot which is the state flower of Montana. Except the primroses are white not pink. Both flowers grow in desert conditions and show all over the place in the spring when conditions are just right. A gift.
