So we've had texts asking us about the weather. We are not sure if some of our weather is related to the atmospheric rivers but the last few days haven't seemed out of the ordinary. Rain has fallen off and on these past few days but never heavy and not prolonged. The wind yesterday was crazy up in Joshua Tree and we heard it rattling our place in the evening. But we've experienced that before.
Today it started out about 17 as we drove to the Living Desert and must have reached the predicted 21 while we were there. We both pealed off layers. It is still chilly to sit outside at our place because the patio is on the shaded side but we'll probably love that when the temperature goes up.
While at the zoo today we both carried our binoculars and spent time looking at wild birds a good part of the time. One thrilling sight was a Vermillion Flycatcher which we knew from our previous bird watching sessions here. It is a thrilling little bird but was far enough away for the pictures to be blurry. Look it up, it is worth it.
And tonight as the sun went down at 5:00, the skies tried to compete.
We're heading out soon for a presentation at the Rancho Mirage library.
