I've been writing about how summer is coming, and it felt like summer last weekend, and school here is winding to a close. Well, today it hit 100 degrees. In May. Before Memorial Day even. OUCH!

I've been reading the local SCA list (ahh nostalgia) and they are planning their annual event in Ruidoso in August. Every year, there are closings because it is dry. The group frets and worries until the rains come in July and the park opens up again. This year, the forest service returned the deposit. I don't think that is a very good sign, do you?

Even though we had a "rainy day" Friday, it didn't do much more than sprinkle briefly most places. It was a dry winter, and it's getting awfully hot, awfully early again this year. I read in the news about floods and storms in other places, and I'm glad we aren't getting those killer storms, I really am, but some rain? A little here and a little there, preferably, we are a desert, and we can't handle too much at once. Still...
