We are about to get another huge heat wave in So Cal, temps over 100 degrees! It's never ending...
Everything here is still all about maintenance with the relentless heat and hot winds.
Silk floss tree is blooming -meaning I have to sweep off the sidewalk each day. Flowers are amazing and look like orchids:
Meanwhile, decorating for Halloween while waiting for the weather to cool down so I can plant a winter garden
Good Morning! :-)
Good morning! First of October and it’s windy and cool!
😊
Yay October, my favorite month overall. Now, if we can just get some gorgeous October weather .... sunny days with deep blue skies & crisp sweater weather temps, maybe a light breeze to swirl the fall-colored leaves around a bit as they fall ....
The sunlight in the afternoon is already ‘different’ .... slanting in more rather than directly overhead so much. I especially notice the light difference on the mountains.
Internet account is set up. Mesh WiFi system on order, should be here Thursday & I hope to connect over the weekend. We are going to a cousin’s birthday celebration Saturday ... typical ‘country folk’ low key .... drop in between 1 & 4, snacks & drinks provided, bring a chair & sit a spell/visit. :-)
For the first time in about a week & a half, no rain on radar or in the forecast here at the old homestead .... 2.75 inches in the rain gauge. It’s still cloudy this morning. I need SUNSHINE and DRY grass so I can MOW before the grass gets up to the window sills!
