Whenever the wind dies down for a moment, I hear crickets singing. A bird whistles so perfectly a few times that it sounds like a human nearby. Aren't I the only human around here right now, except for the occasional passing car on Cima Road?
It is a bit chilly tonight. Chilly in the Mojave Desert in June? Yes, because I'm in the desert mountains. I would need to put on my long pants and sweater if I were spending a significant amount of time outside tonight.
Spring evenings are beautiful up here at 5000 feet, but it can snow sometimes during the winter months.
