Yesterday we set a record for June 6, and hit 110f (43c), a temperature we usually don’t see until July 1, then we get an additional ten days of over 110f over the next month or so. After a chilly and unusual spring it seems we will be having a warmer than usual summer. But not to worry, a cold front is coming through and Friday we are only expecting a high of 83f (28c). It is sunny, and windy (gusts 25 to 30 mph) and humidity currently at 9%. It still feels hot when you go outside into the sunshine. It was 100 at 10am, so the heat is still here for a while.
Even though the Palo Verde trees are blooming yellow it is starting to turn from yellow season to purple season as it warms up. Our sage bushes are starting to bloom and will soon be big balls of purple.
The purple lantana is also starting to fill up with flowers.
As are the cast bushes around the valley (I think that’s the name for them, no tags left on ours). These are big bushes that can get up to three meters tall and across, ours are only a meter high, but growing.

better you than me. I'm sitting in a cool front with lows in the high fiftys/low 60s and highs in the 70s this week. Great sleeping weather.
DA
Hi Joeinvegas - I'm Don in Pahrump. Never been here? Haven't missed a lot actually, lol, unless you like crooked and/or drunk politicians. Seems to be our specialty. I've only lived here a year but it's interesting.
Just found your blog and was going back a bit; hope your hand is completely healed. I'm sure the hospital bill was impressive. Have a good one.
How pretty!
So pretty...but HOT! I'd die if it got past 100 degrees.
I killed my lantana : (
