Cool man, I'm guessing this isn't a normal state of affairs most years. I am fascinated by a green desert, that's all. Nice!

Usually it does turn green, but it happens later, usually towards the end of April. Normally, the wild grass and weeds don't last very long, either. With all the rain we've had lately, it's brought up weeds I've never seen before, And, usually the weeds don't get very tall during years of normal rainfall.

I wasn't sure on the flowering timing, but that is so awesome when cacti start flowering. Be sure and catch those if you get a chance for us, please.
Thanks Eddie for taking the time to take and share those pics with us. I appreciate it!
Cool man. I never seen the desert in meteorological Spring. Weeds you never seen before, eh? Amazing innit?
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnd, we has a light grazing of sneu.
Yep, saw the weather reports about it, and wondered about it...... it is March...
We;re here at 53 dgrees North, same as Alaska, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/53rd_parallel_north but the warm Gulfstream keeps us in a relative warm sea climate.
Enjoy the snow..... brrrrr.
Though the cutting the grass season here doesn't make me happy either.

Well, to be honest I much prefer the snow and the cold of winter over the heat and humidity of summer. For me summer is the least comfortable of of all the seasons. The heat, the humidity, the constant sweating, the prevalence of biting insects, etc. My future plans for a move up to Alaska or the Canadian Yukon. Leaving New York City behind won't be easy as it's my home from birth but I think I can manage it. Besides I can always come down this way for a rare visit.

60 deg F last week. Yesterday? 19.
