Good morning. It hit 102F yesterday, same for the next 2 days. The WX is hoping for the usual afternoon monsoon rain and wind next week. It would be nice. For now it’s enjoying the cooler inside of the house or outside shade. The Jap beetles have been ferocious this year, but only on the beans...

Good morning. 66-99F, dry. Just finished watering at the CG that was really dry. Picked some lettuce, spinach for lunch. Cukes are 1” (!). At least they’re in the future 😀😀. Sic, I hope you feel much better. Getting old(er) is not for sissies, though it is better than the other. Downriver, are...

Good morning. 70-95F, and already quite warm and dry this AM. I’m not looking forward to the weekend’s heat. The Japanese beetles have taken hold of my pole beans, hopefully they will leave the few peaches alone. Assembling baby layettes for the needy this AM, watering and fertilizing the...

Good morning. 59-90, like Harry, the heat is coming with a vengeance. Soaking the plants at the CG, mulching the newly planted(s), weeding in general. Then it’s off to bfast. Have a wonderful day, keep cool, and stay hydrated.

Good morning. Last comfortable day until the 90’s and 100’s start. Eye Dr. for hubby, breakfast, then playing in the garden until it gets too warm. We picked most of the currants and made Raspberry Currant jam last night. Hoping to pick sour cherries in a day or so and then more jam. Not sure...

Good morning. Summer temps will be 100F for a few days, little humidity compared to Sic. CG to water and finish planting seeds, Monday errands and fun in the garden at home. Have a wonderful day, stay hydrated, enjoy your day with nature and pets.

Good morning. 55-75F, unusual for July, but we’ll take it. I started to plant the garlic area yesterday, but got sidetracked by guests - maybe today. That heat west of us sounds unbearable. We’ve had a summer or two of wildfires and lots of smoke that made us stay inside. Have a restful day...

Good morning. July heat is creeping back with no clouds, no rain. Grocery shopping this morning, a little seed planting at the CG tonight where we dug up the garlic. Not sure what’s in between. Have a peaceful day, enjoy family and friends’ visits. Stay hydrated.

Good morning. Hope your fireworks celebrations weren’t too loud. Our neighborhood was quite noisy, but stopped close to 11pm. Today is quiet and back to normal chores. The gardens are looking green, I’m still hunting Jap beetles and blister beetles - probably a losing battle - but it’s nice to...

Good morning. Happy 4th of July. Remember those who fought to make our country free. I’m hoping to dig up garlic at the CG, clean up that area (lots of stray weeds), then get it ready for the next round of seeds. Not much else is planned, a nice quiet day until the fireworks begin. Have a...

Good morning. 60-90F. An unexpected rain shower last night soaked my just dug garlic. Guess I’ll move them out of the line of fire in case another shower pops up. Weeding will be easier. The family will be leaving today, so routine will be back again. Nice whirlwind visit. Have a wonderful...

Good morning. Very busy day yesterday, time for clean up and repeat yesterday. First we have errands and maybe dig up a few garlic at the CG if there’s time. Family first. Have a wonderful day, enjoy Mother Natures offerings. Take time for family.

Good morning and welcome July heat. I have family flying in this AM, lots of activities for a few days. Garden watering and Monday errands first, then a time for being with them. Have a wonderful day. Give your pets and plants extra care when the heat settles in. Stay hydrated.

Good morning. 15 minutes of rain yesterday cooled us down and gave us humidity. Today may be a repeat, but for now the plants are happy. Family comes tomorrow, so I’d better get back to dusting. Have a wonderful Sunday. Enjoy the calms before the storms. Take time for yourself.

Good morning. 55-82F, a great day to check out the flowers and weeds at home. Really nice BBQ picnic yesterday so today we can enjoy nature. Still waiting for the predicted rain this week, and thus goes the month of June. Enjoy this beautiful day. No movie recommendations, Sic. We barely watch...

Good morning. The wind was fierce last night, but it brought no rain. Maybe this afternoon during an annual picnic. We stopped at a roadside place yesterday selling rock hard peaches and very $$ cherries. I’ll try to be more patient waiting for our tree and the neighbor’s trees to produce...

Good morning. Our 15 minutes of rain yesterday didn’t help the lawn very much, still crunchy in places. Maybe the weekend will bless us w/a bit more moisture. Today we’re taking a friend to the Monarch buffet for his birthday. He’s never been, something to enjoy. Downriver, nice to hear your...

Good morning. Yesterday we hit 100F, way too hot for here. A bit cooler today but time to early water. Downriver, what are you going to grow in your new raised beds? Not much going on today except a couple of meetings later. De-cluttering is always an option. Washing pots and buckets also...

Good morning. Another warm one, a day to work at the home garden after a morning meeting and lunch with the gals. Have a wonderful day. Stay cool 😎 and hydrated.

Good morning. 70-99F. A hot one, so I came to the CG at 615AM, watered, weeded, straightened the sunscreens over the tomatoes as they’re growing in this heat. The CG looks pretty good with fewer weeds than usual. Still have a busy week ahead. Family is arriving for a visit and to check out...
