103F in Newark New Joisey. How is Bob3? Lethargic is my guess.
I tell you, yesterday I had my home open and the breeze blowing through, then suddenly and most unpleasantly a too cool breeze off the left ocean came up as caused me to close the house and run the heat. You guys are sure saving on your heating bills.
Warmed up to seventy. Maybe even seventy something with sun. I open the house and let the breeze blow through until it gets too cool. So I close it up and run the A/C a tad to pull the moisture out of the air for easier breathing. The A/C goes off and stays off until 4 or 5 AM or so when the air is hot and humid and stinky. Then back to the top of the paragraph all over gain.
Yesterday, a few stinky humid episodes occurred and today the air is sweet and floral and fresh.
The garden report, brought to you by, the weather and its' effects.
The ever unhappy Mission Fig with twenty puny figs - purple but hard, elects a few at a time to plump up and ripen. I have had five over the last few days. Tomatoes threatening to ripen and potatoes are going to sprout if I don't harvest them. The leechee, similar to the fig has elected to fatten and ripen some of its fruit. This will be the first year for it. And I may have two grand, natural, happy where they are,, poinsettias programmed to show red displays this X-mas, sorry - Yule season.
Seeding two kinds of carrots but haven't seen any sprout. Likewise, lettuce not sprouting as I would have hoped.
These garden happenings are helped because this year, we have sun. No heat but sun. Last summer was so gray.
Two cool summers and lots of rain. Deity bless global warming.
Ours here is turning into a typical summer, HOT Humid, cold, it has not snowed yet but that would not be that unusual, mild, rain, hail, a little of everything. I just hope the MOM is nice not like it was the first time we had one here where it pored rain the entire week. One thing is for sure, if you don't like the weather just stick around for a day or so it will change.
Two days ago, a thunderstorm formed over my neighborhood and nearly drowned everything in about an inch of rain within an hour.
It always does that when it hits 90 -- thunderstorm and lightning and heavy rain. All it takes is one little gust of wind going up and losing all that heat and down comes the rain and the Heat Engine is born, clouds climb up to thousands of feet and VIOLA -- as ze french zay -- thunderstorm
