We had our rain for the week the other night. We're definitely not seeing the same heat anymore, for which I am thankful!

This is the hottest time of year here. This passing storm was the only rain we've had since Dorian. It's dried out in a hurry. I almost lost all my orange trees, not paying attention.

Yikes! People worry about losing orange trees when it freezes but they're just as vulnerable to dry conditions.

Someday I'd like to visit Larry Land and I'll want some fresh oranges for my trouble! Lol

The ones in the ground can take a bit of hot dry weather. But I have several in black pots. The heat and dry weather plays hell on them when I forget to run the sprinklers. But I remembered them a couple of days ago and gave them a good soaking. Then today I watered the young ones in the ground.

I only have two grown trees. They are down at the river. It will be a long walk to carry water to them, but I need to do it. Or cut a shorter path. But I've planted several young ones at the graveyard. Also turned the 5 broken red cedar trees into sitting logs. In a few year, if the timing is right, folks will be able to pick oranges during funerals. Then sit on a log to eat it.

Nice and warm in northern Colorado! Upper 80s, sunny early, partly cloudy later. Light breeze. It's been dropping into the 50s overnight, good sleeping weather.

I used to live in Arkansas. They'd have to pay me $250k to move anywhere in the Dirty South.
Actually it has been low humidity for my area. Yesterday morning walking in from the camp, the grass wasn't really wet with dew. That is pretty rare. But we are drying up in a hurry. No rain in sight, so I worry about fire danger.

I didn't even think Arkansas was considered the south. Try Georgia!! The climate here is like Kashyyyk.
Oh yeah, it's the South. Racist attitudes and all. Lots of retirees from what I understand, although since I was in college at the time I didn't see much of them. Lots of retirees = old attitudes die hard.

Feast or famine, I guess. There's only a few small fires in Colorado right now, so that's below average!

Georgia is nothing like what you described, especially around the cities.
