The ocotillo bush on our lot is in bloom. When we arrived in November it looked like some brown sticks coming out of the ground. Now those "sticks" are covered in bright green tiny leaves. At the tops of each of the branches there are pretty orange blooms. All kinds of birds have come to enjoy the nectar in the blooms. We've had our hummingbirds, a few kinds of warblers and some gnat catchers along with a few doves trying to enjoy them.
I managed to catch the crud that's been going around. Terrible sinus infection that I think started from the bad dust storm we had. This has been the windiest and wettest winter we have experienced here. Every time nice weather comes we think its here to stay but each time we are fooled. I think by the time it gets nice and warm it will be time to move north and experience cool weather again for awhile.
