Weather in May
Yesterday afternoon a thunderstorm dumped half an inch of rain onto us in five minutes. There is no more “normal” weather other than that everything is getting more extreme. I was able to get into one of the flower beds this morning and pull the last of the delphiniums in order to put in some chili peppers (and found five buried potatoes, which made their way into the soup).
One of the roads through Yosemite is now closed because of snow — I’m usually pleased to hear about snow in the mountains but it’s getting late enough to start affecting nesting birds. It will be hot again soon.
