That warm in Bend? Wow, that is hot! 73 here today and we're thinking quite warm. All the windows open tonight.

I didn't actually experience that temperature myself -- I was driving home from my long, long trip. But when I got home tonight, that's what they said on the local TV weather -- close to a record but not quite.
But a cold front is moving in... In a couple of days the highs will be in the low 60s.

The ponderosa pine are dropping pollen a month ahead of normal here. Anyone need bags full of yellow silt?

I bet P-pine pollen could be an important part of a vegan diet.

This time of year it's a topping on all our meals without even trying.

I haven't noticed any of the yellow residue around here yet.
It's juniper (Juniperus occidentalis) pollen that I find annoying. I'm not allergic to it, but the spiky balls of pollen still poke and irritate my eyes when it's heavy.

While working up at the cabin, I’ve had to use wiper/washer every time I jump into the truck to clear the pine pollen off enough to see out the windshield. 30 minutes between cleanings is not uncommon.

Around here we start with the "grainy" white fir pollen. This stuff can irritate the eyes. We've now switched over to the silt like ponderosa pollen. In normal years we yearn for huge thunderstorms to knock it out of the trees and wash it away. Not anymore with the extreme dry conditions. We'll put up with the fine yellow powder everywhere. Further up country in a couple months the Lodgepole will be popping.

New England is in drought. Eastern white pine is laying yellow real thick on my dark grey truck and my solar panels need a hosing daily.
