Here in Yuma we have the strangest seasons...Mid-March to Mid-September we have Summer...or He** if you prefer! LOL last year we had 6 weeks of 115*+ temps! Then we go into a mixture of Fall/Spring for the other 6 months! Which is nice...no Winter for us although real Yumans THINK it is cold at 60* and run around in winter clothing! I actually turned the AC on last night because it was 80* in the house. Our daytime temps are already into the 80's. Sheila says the desert is blooming so I am thinking of a short day trip to go check them out.....Joella, sure do miss those gorgeous Texas wildflowers so would appreciate any pics you could supply!
