One last dip

The final swim for the night.

Camping and calm

Feeling good.

Tomatoes and this weeks stars

Today gave us a cold front and therefore some rain.

transitioning from 90s to the 80s could of meant some crazy weather but we just had some showers.

we keep a good mulch layer on the vegetables to retain moisture.

it was nice to see the rain sitting on the fruits and vegetables:

This weeks times and stars:

Hollyhocks

The hollyhocks have been going for a couple of weeks

but

for some reason yesterday's sky brought them to the forefront of my attention.

at 100 degrees, tomorrow just looks painful.

hoping for cloud cover!

Goldenrod

The day is turning out very comfortable.

the expected heat is tempered by the blanket of clouds.

the goldenrod are about ready to take off.

Copper cockerel working on his tan

Nothing but hot until these clouds started to roll in (around 2p):

could feel the temperature drop each time one of these clouds covered the sun.

the morning was good for garden work, then moved indoors to bathroom remodel work.

Extra blue - the sky 7.17.13

Opening day for my new thought rocket gave me a sky that had clouds with areas of greater density

but

there will be no rain today.
