Just got back from nearly a week in Albuquerque and wanted to tell all of you from that area how much I enjoyed the roses. There were so many of them - all such beauties. I have been there during the other three seasons but my first spring trip. (my in-laws live there). There were also some trees with purplish blooms that I did not know the name of and of course the red plums have such beautiful foilage.

Glad you have finally had some rain. Don't think I have ever seen the river so full.
