Hi, all! I was born a desert kid at the Antelope Valley Hospital. Raised in Lancaster, graduated from AVHS...a long time ago. I went off to college and came back to teach at Mojave Elementary for 2 years. My mom still lives in Tehachapi. I live in Washington now, and I love it here, but I know my roots. When the wind stops blowing, I still sometimes fall over.
Just wanted to say hi, and to leave you with this laugh...We're having a serious heat wave here in western Washington. Yesterday it was 80, and today it's 83!!! (If you want to get a chuckle, check out the Washingtonians thread, and look at what people are doing to help their birds survive the extreme heat. Just don't tell them I sent you there.)
Wishing you calm winds, clear skies, and a working air conditioner.

Hey Nikki,
We haved lived in Joshua Tree for the past four years having come from Western Washington where I lived for 40 years. Our kids are all still up there and actually LOVING this heat wave after the terrible spring you all just had. I am happy for them but worried for any pet owners like yourself as this extreme is such a shock to their systems not being acclimated and all. If it wasn't for our misters I would be worried for my hens too. Many friends have lost their chickens and even more have stopped laying. Hope all bodes well for you!
