The National Weather Service wasn't kidding when they forecast windy conditions.

The winds woke me up earlier than I would have liked, but that's what one has to put up with in mountainous and arid climates.

But, at least the temperatures will be climbing this coming week into the 60s, although the nights will be chilly, particularly tonight. It will get down to 19°,
