I had snow on my lawn just two days ago. It's down to 41 degrees right now. Expecting around 36 at night and 62 during the day for the next few days. Spring and Fall are just delightful in Pocatello. June/July/August will be daytime temps from 86 to 103 with humidity between 5% and 20%. No sweat...literally. Night time drops to 60 to 80. I ditch my sheets and blanks and sleep with the window open all summer. You do need to pay attention to proper hydration with the low humidity and high elevation. It's real easy to get dehydrated.

Fire in the middle of the state of Idaho is a part of the summer as well. When the smoke gets bad, I shut the windows and turn on the air conditioning. HEPA filters help a great deal. A few million acres burned last year. Jeff Head quipped about the "Smoky Mountains". It was forest fires in Idaho. The brilliant red sunsets are accentuated by the smoke.

That sounds so very nice, it almost sounds too good to be true. You chose well!

I had to go out tonight and harvest a couple dozen asparagus spears. Supposed to be mid 20’s tonight and tomorrow night. Snowed a while Saturday afternoon.

I spent most of last evening potting up tomato and pepper seedlings. I'll have to carry them another month before I can set them out and offer my surplus for sale.
