This is the story of the last month: hot, hot, hot, smokey, a tiny drizzle of rain, warm, warm, hot, hot, smokey. Those may be slightly out of order but that's the basic pieces. All I want for September is a good soaking rain! In the meantime, I've been watering a lot - so many new plants in the yard! - and enjoying the flowers.
