We are battening down here as well (SoCal) - heat, lots of it and dry dry air. Winds will start up in the next few weeks making it worse.

Got my water bill yesterday and was pleased to see I'd used less water than I did June-July of last year - still in Tier 1. Pulling out the lawns was the correct thing to do when we are under water restriction.

I am harvesting grapes.

These are so old that I've forgotten the variety:

F8-E580-AA-B35-F-42-A4-96-F8-243760198-C72-1-105-c

And roses are starting to come back:

0-D6529-D7-60-CD-40-C4-9853-8-E4-F3-A7-F3-F77

Hibiscus too even though I'm battling wretched white flies (again):

6-D516319-EB85-4-D2-D-8-D36-7-AF0-DD833-FCC

The last of my apples (they don't like the heat). We made an apple pie and it came out great:

B6-A8-E6-ED-2-D19-430-C-BF87-7-AB30-DEA4232

2-ECDF01-B-2-D93-4820-BAD7-8-D42758-ADF7-C

My helpers were busy hiding in the house with the air conditioning.
