The rains have arrived. Tuesday we got 1.5" of rain. The arroyo north of the house ran several times, and the roads (Soledad and Black Quartz) are in the usual mess. But the bridge has stopped the road into town from washing out, and I even crossed it a couple times when there was water running beneath.
The boys in the photo met on the driveway yesterday morning and were having words when I relocated their scuffle to the desert. They were even less pleased with me than they were with each other! Other rain-prompted sightings include a couple of snakes, toads, furry red insects, tarantula hawks, and even grasses.
Quincy started a summer science program through NMSU this week that runs until the end of the month. The focus on biology will help her get back into academics (school starts a month from yesterday). We finalized her schedule Wednesday with the help of LCHS's counselor extrordinaire.
Only biked in twice this week. The ride to town is now down to about 40 minutes, and home is under an hour. Put gas in the big car yesterday for the first time in about a month. It is really good to be biking again. How could I have forgotten how sweet it is?
