Weather contributes to Desert Madness

It has been stormy here in the Mojave for over a week now. All weekend was rainy and drizzling and today is actually threatening snow. When the clouds lift I can see snow on the surrounding hills. Looks like about 3200 foot level.
We have had more rain than any of the past 5 or 6 years. A nice snow storm that left about a foot in December with the extra moisture we have had since will guarantee a good wildflower season this spring.
You might think that wildflowers might moderate Desert Madness. Oh no...
The wild blast of color where once was only shades of gray and brown; the intoxicating fragrance of the myriad of different flowers; the photography. Yes Madness will prevail.
I promise photos when the blooms begin to peak.
