Colorado Weather for May

It's beautiful outside with blue skies and singing birds but across the state, a large tornado just touched down, thunderstorms with baseball-sized hail pounded the eastern plains, fire-weather conditions exist in from C Springs & up north a bit, it's raining in the northwest, and there's a winter weather warning in the mountains. Just a gentle breeze outside my window.

Southern vs Western

I have needs. I must go back to the Deep South on an annual basis, not just to see family, but to breathe and feel the air, listen to the nighttime sounds, see the birds and smell the trees. Then I'm fine to come back home to my oasis in the dryness. My other eco-system includes tall loblolly pines and old oaks and sandy soil. I love them both but home is here.
