Do it. It would be nice to finally put a face to a name!
Hotter by the ocean, I am on a bluff about a mile inland.
I am laying down a heavy watering today with low running sprinklers and hoses frequently moved.
Squirrel sightings have gotten a lot more frequent. The Coyote is harvesting cats again.
The corn is not very sweet at all. The Mission Figs are doing great & sweet although the tree remains a runt.
The nursery just called to report my 24 gallon Santa Barbara Peach has arrived. A tasty free stone yellow peach that should match well with my Babcock White dribbily delicious peach success this year.
A young hawk or female kestrel (more likely) perched on my bird feeder for the longest time.
We both got a long look at on another.
Gotta go. Have to distribute that imported water her at the desert by the sea.
The bank said 105 today, my truck said 100F in the shade.
It was 96 in the shaded area in the creek bottoms, with near 100% humidity. We did get a passing popup storm, but it didn't rain enough to get the rain barrel 1/4 full. I'd say it won't even revive the grass.
