a fresh, clean, cool breeze in pulses.
The smell was like after a refreshing rain but we had no rain.
Then -
The Monsoon climate came in from the big, white mushroom clouds I saw beyond the mountains over MacWolf country. Humid. Oppressive. Sweaty. Not good to lungs.I ran inside and activated my A/C. I'll be ok.
The Sugar Pie pumpkins are still at the first cotyledon leaf phase but, looking deep green and sturdy.
Possible the corn is poking through or just some rye grass. Time will tell.
A few blackberries that I coddled until sweet - and they were, one could pick them a week earlier because they were still black but, tart.
A plump Mission Fig with more on the way.
Did some watering with some of my imported water.
August already and no real California Summer at the beaches.
These last three years our heat really did not happen until after Autumn.
Then again they say we are in an El Nino which means more rain for me.
Can I trust the government weather service?
