After a long spell of clouds and rain, the cool dry air of high pressure returns to the central Atlantic. A classic follow-up to a cold front that cleared things up Wednesday: breezy northwest wind and still cool on Thursday, severe loveliness with less wind and mid-70's warmth Friday - not even a hint of a cloud- and today warmer still and with the warnings of change coming as cirrus clouds will waft by far, far overhead. Mother's Day will be warm as well but clouds will thicken and bring a chance of showers late in the day and that system, now just leaving Texas after an extended stay, will arrive and likely linger for much of the upcoming week.
There are, as usual, lots of quakes on the shaky planet but none in the red zone for several days. A fairly normal looking list of volcanoes is still dominated by Mexico's Popo and it continues to spew and rain boulders on itself and ash onto nearby towns in a 15 - 20 km halo around the big smoking mountain. Still code Yellow.
The baby foxes continue to grow and wander farther from their den (I've seen 5) and the more curious one or two still are ok watching and listening to me as I pass the den on my daily deep woods wander. Still not sure what happened to the first nest of baby phoebes but mom already has another nest on my other speaker and seems to be stealing material from the first nest. I saw a hummingbird yesterday but am late on getting the feeders out and have not seen them return since getting out the sugar water.
Get out and enjoy today on Earth, it's going to be lovely.
