First of October and weather is miserable.

 93 today and close to that tomorrow. What is it with the weather? Is it my location? Global warming most likely, it was never this warm that I remember when I was little. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I was very busy on Sunday and never got out in the evening to water. I didn't get a chance to go out and water until the evening on Monday...that was close to disastrous for the garden. Everything was wilted and of course, using a shortened hose it was hard to really water well but I used to drip bucket and the hose to get the seed bed and the raised bed enough water.

Everything looked good this morning thankfully the tomatillos are suffering but a large one and small one came off in my hand as I looked at them! So it's a start and I may not get a full crop out of them but this was a learning experience with a new veggie. Lesson learned, will plant green ones next year all in the west bed. Hopefully.

There was a red bougainvillea in that corner. The one that the birds liked to perch in, Rocky would scamper up the leaning trunk to try and catch them or lizards. Well apparently someone in charge thought it was dying and needed to be taken down. Good thing is, they left a stump and it will be a bush soon enough. The parrot flock decided to stop by for the night two days ago, I think they enjoy having open branches at the tops of the trees thanks to the caterpillars. They usually 'prune' leaves off branches in the sycamores when they roost for the night. There's at least a dozen or more just in that tree and double that in the other trees. Wonderful raucous sounds.

Not much else going on so far, the air is rather hazy and stuffy but once the sun goes down the temperature plummets so we get great relief at night. Going to be busy shopping and stuff this week back to sort of usual next week.
