welcome to the desert in April

Today I learned that the humidity around here in the middle of the day is something like 6%. It didn't feel that low, but we've already established that I've lived here long enough to think that 72 F is cold.

In other news, I was preparing to announce that the acacia pollen is really much better now, but with the appearance of the little gray fluff balls on the creosote over the back fence, I can't really tell anymore. The palo verdes just over the ridge are turning yellow now, too, so I think it's going to be an interesting couple of weeks.
