Dry clear weather, warm in the afternoons (high 70s) and in the 40s overnight. One night, I think it was Saturday, we had a quick thunderstorm around 10:30 pm, that dropped 0.15 inch of rain, enough to settle the dust.
But the real reason I’m posting today is that I saw at least 2 green-tailed towhees this morning while having my tea on the porch. I’ve never seen them before, even though we are presumably in their summer range. I assume they are passing through, and I’m hoping they are finding enough seed out here (the spotted and canyon towhees have been loving the bumper crop of golden crownbeard seed we have out front) that they decide to summer with us next year. More birds!
