Spring in Tucson

I believe spring in Tucson means it still drops below 70 degrees at night, even though it rises into the 90s during the day.

I've seen this greenery outside my back door ever since I moved in and always wondered what it was. Now I know — it's an amaryllis. I just noticed the bloom yesterday, and send my thanks to Eileen and Jacki or whatever previous owner planted it. It's gorgeous!



I wish I could send you the fragrance of the star jasmine in the background. When I was growing up in Florida, these were called Confederate jasmine and I've always loved them. Maybe in Web 4.0 I'll be able to send you fragrances.
