Ty and Nirankar's Visit

Weather permitting, Caro and I will meet up with Ty and Nirankar at 1:00 Saturday afternoon to tour the Garden.  The forecast is for hideous winds tonight up to 60 mph(!).  That's supposed to wind down by dawn tomorrow.  

If that weren't enough, the forecast calls for rain overnight.  If it arrives early, we could have a moist walk through the Garden.  

No matter when the rain arrives, we desperately need it.  The snowpack is shallow and runoff that feeds summer river flows is expected to be weak.  There's talk of the Rio going dry here in Albuquerque.

All that said, I'll miss the 3rd Saturday bonsai workshop.

After all the concern about weather, by 1:00 the sun was out and the wind considerably less.  We had a beautiful, warm visit to the Garden.  

Lunch afterwards at Lescombes was followed by a couple hours at our house.
