As I am sure you have heard, it has been hot lately. That is not all bad. One advantage is no mowing. Grass, and even some weeds, somehow stop growing when it is hot and dry.
As I was walking this morning I saw a testimony to the conditions: The cactus is wilting. Cactus is designed for hot, dry weather. It is a survival plant. Today I noticed that one large growth was not only pale and turning brown on the edges but was collapsing in upon itself. Once I noticed it in one place I noticed it all along the way.
The weather app on my phone is being psychologically supportive by acting like we have a chance of rain today. I don’t believe CNN. I don’t believe the L.A. Times. I don’t believe the weather app. I still like to use my personal version. I stick my head out the door and if it feels hot then I decide it is hot. Works every time.
