The woods are getting green with good sized leaves on the sycamores & cottonwoods & tulip trees & small red leaves on the oaks. Red bud & dogwood in flower & apple, peach, plum & cherry trees.  Grass tall enough to wave & wheat fields green. As no zone lines were crossed the sun was not of great importance, being through upper edge of lower Sonoran.
