The Anza Borrego Natural History Association sent a link with a wildflower update.
My cousin in Oracle, AZ (NE of Tucson) reports two significant snow storms this season, enough to prompt the purchase of a snow shovel.AWG_Pics said:Looks like a good year for flowers in the southwest. My sister just north of Tucson had snow a few days back. Drought Monitor puts most of Arizona with no drought at all.
I wonder if she had to go to Show Low or Flagstaff to find a shovel? It is a cool spring this year.ski3pin said:My cousin in Oracle, AZ (NE of Tucson) reports two significant snow storms this season, enough to prompt the purchase of a snow shovel.
It is possible she asked one of her daughters in Wisconsin to export one into Arizona.AWG_Pics said:I wonder if he had to go to Show Low or Flagstaff to find a shovel? It is a cool spring this year.

My sister (retired as head of dept Botany in Riverside CA) ... responded to me forwarding the link ...as she thought I meant they were in full bloom now...sent a curt "Fake News"!! email to me. HA! What do I know?! Sure wish we could have struck around for a week but our psyche says roll on! We have a lot of ground to cover yet and we keep getting sidetracked!
