WHEW! Down to 101 today and it feels like, well, cool! I know, hard to believe. The 5+ degrees difference is amazing. Even in the house without AC, the house is tolerable (thank-you God for the Fruitless Mulberries on the west side of the house). Whew.

SW, that's what our skies looked like this a.m., too! There actually has been some rain in the Sierra Nevada's heading toward Lake Tahoe. Ack, you can complain all you want. Hot is "hot," no matter how low "hot" is. LOL

Nah, Samigal, won't send it your way. Just gonna kick it's b**t out of the nearby universe and bless us all with gorgeous temps next week . . . promise!

Oh, YES, GS, that's the one I got. It is a lovely specimen, when it's not all wilty like below {weeping}. The moment I planted it I could see the screen effect. it's actually a "bush," according to the band. But it apparently can get up to 20 feet {gasp}. They told me that it's simple to keep it pruned down to a height I'd prefer it to stay, though. Isn't it pretty?
