Hi everyone our air is drinkable, there is so much moisture in it! as well as the rain of course ...88f where I am at 9 am Sunday morning
(that's 8am in "real time") Soup may be a little warm for me ha ha ha ...I sure hope you enjoy yours.
LouC our plants are nuts too because of the lack of sunshine,
everything is a bit topsy turvy ...I still cannot believe how much Texas is like us here ...except for back to front seasons of course,
my 4 o'clocks have grown about 2ft in in just 3 days, I can hardly wait until they bloom and although a lot of folks think they are a pest ,I love the way they smother the weeds out in the Summer and Autumn, they also give the garden such a lush green tropical look and the perfume is a happy tangy sort of lemon blossom x jasmine smell, mine are the sort of carnival "broken colours",
they fill in all the gaps in the beds.
77 it's the same here wet ,wet ,wet but warm, just remember what the drought felt like and we don't have to hand water! :)
I really feel for the folk in California those fires coming through on the news looks pretty terrible, I hope everyone will be ok.

B yes having someone else cook is even better than leftovers!
Rj enjoy your soup mate!
Ll I am posting a pic of the first crape myrtle to flower ...it is not in a very elegant situation as you can see my hubby has been wrecking some cars in that area, but you were asking about them in another thread so here is my first just starting, the pinky ones come first then the lavenders and whites etc they all end up flowering at the same time for a couple of months and then they have lovely Autumn foliage.
Enjoy your day/evening /arvo or whatever is applicable!:)
