Reading is HOT! Even HOTTER when it’s HOTTER!
Well, it’s heading for 106〫again today … and I’m staying in and reading my book. Been reading it for some time and I’m not even 2/3 through. Thankfully I’ve got it on my Kindle reader, would never be able to tote the 1008 page print version around. If you’ve been watching the TV series, expect a lot of twists and turns in Season 3 and 4. Yeah, the book is so thick they need two seasons to tell the story.
So, I’ve been staying inside while the out-of-doors is actually turning into Arizona.
My lawn crunches when I walk on it; and they say we need 15 to 19-inches of rain to get back to normal. Haven’t had any real rain since early in June.
I do give the front flower beds a good soaking every day, but it dries up by mid-afternoon. The flowers are still blooming … only most are a tad smaller than they were in the spring.
My lacy ballerina flowers have finally added some blue flowers to the many white plants that were blooming.
And the white plants are producing some rather unique seed pods.
And the ants are busy moving aphid eggs up to the sweet Rose Of Sharon blossoms to hatch and collect nectar.
And I have no idea what this guy is doing.
Well back to the AC and my book.

... a somewhat unknown or perhaps imaginary actor, writer, director, producer, photographer, friend, brother, uncle and all round good fellow that you really should get to know because he lives with that most glamorous fourpaw Mademoiselle Renee. (Mlle. Renee for short)
Drought is the devil. But you and your garden seem to be making the best of it!
Can’t save the lawn though.
Been there. Still haven’t recovered from last year’s drought. And it’s been hot as blazes this week, but I think we may be expecting some rain in the coming days. Hope so.
