Tickled pink meaning - To be delighted.  The weather here is still cool enough to work/play outside until early afternoon.  Our mornings have been cloudy and we can see rain falling to the North.  Nighttime temps are brisk (at least for Arizonans), in the 30-50 degree range.  Windows are left open to allow fresh air to circulate, with thermal blinds biding their time at the top of the window frame.  No city noises assaulting my ears, only the subtle hum of bees and bugs.  Birds chirping, singing to their mates and children.  The wind - a bit gusty at times, can be heard weaving its way through the trees.  Our wildflowers have shed their colorful finery for drab brown and turned to seed, the birds feasting on their dried offerings.  Local cacti are almost tropical in their spring display, positively neon with blooms.  The mesquite trees dangle their fragrant blossom clusters, successfully tempting a myriad of pollinators.  This is the upper desert, full of life, movement, song, preparing itself for the hot summer ahead.
