It's been in the 80s.

The ornamental pear trees are leading the pack with frothy white blossoms, but the jacarandas (my favorite) are still bare. My loquat tree has blossoms and fruit all over it. The hummingbird stands on the topmost twig of the bare apricot tree next door and squeakily proclaims his masculine claim on the territory like Trump beating his chest, but in the bird's case, adorably. The crows are out in packs like Republicans, murderous and obnoxious. The other day they were chasing down a pair of hawks, and I hope the hawks got away.

It's all gorgeous, but alas, I think the rain is over for the year.

JURY: "Mad" refers neither to anger nor to insanity. No fee-fees were hurt in the making of this post.
