Yes, the humidity has moved up a lot -- from 4% midday into the 20s. But the rains have not arrived. So my grotto is where I have been taking my meals as the Arizona sun beats down on Prescott. My back "porch" is actually cut into the granite hillside. It gets a little bit of sun in the afternoon, but not enough to heat things up.
And it is a great place for visitors, here the daughter & Sson.
The grotto also shelters a pile of wood for the fireplace that I'm very reluctant to use, seeing as how the chimney reaches right up into my one big ponderosa pine. Besides, it is inhabited. Most likely a chipmunk. I've been leaving him/her a single cherry every morning, which is gone by 9 p.m. If I'm lucky, I may get a glimpse of my guest; if I'm very, very, very lucky, I may get a picture.
