We’ve all been there.

Matt, Lindsay, Austin, Arie, Ayla, and a special guest appearance by Jesse.

It’s a palo verde tree.  Palo verde trees are really smart.  They drop their leaves during the hottest dryest weather to conserve water, but they have chlorophyll in their bark so they can still photosynthesize.  During times of adequate moisture they hold onto their green leaves.

They bloom yellow flowers, the fallen petals creating that golden shadow.

Hot like triple digit hot.

I’ve been taking my lunchtime walks at 10:00 at night in the dark to avoid the heat.

Today was more mild though.  I got to make that walk around Steve and Lori’s neighborhood in the daylight before it got too hot.

It’s a very nice neighborhood.
