What a Difference a Week Makes

Things have changed quite a bit in a mere six days days.

( End of the Snow for the Season? )

I think that we might have finally seen the last snow of the season. The ten-day weather forecast doesn't even have a significant change of rain. We haven't needed the fireplace for the past few days. I even turned the electric heater off for much of yesterday and today, only turning it on overnight. I guess all of the snow and rain put enough water into the ground that as soon as the sun showed up, the plants started going into overtime to take advantage of the short desert spring. That would explain why I've started sneezing, I think.
