Summer Morning

Right now in Jamestown, New Mexico, it is a nice sunny morning at 61°.

Last night, I did something I rarely do: ran the swamp cooler overnight. It has been warm at night for the past few nights and I wanted to be more comfortable.

Having the swamp cooler on did the trick and I had a good night's sleep.

The warm weather will be continuing for the next few days, but we'll be getting another round of thunderstorms from the monsoon weather pattern.
