The sun is just coming up in a hazy, yellow sky. Another heat wave on the way, although shorter than the one in June. They're still trying to figure out how many people died in the northwest during that awful week.
A bit of good news, if you can call it that-- the high-level smoke from California might keep the temperature down so Seattle will "only" be in the 90's. By Monday, back in the 70's. All I can say is, what a roller coaster of a summer.
Our resident kitchen window spider. She's having a fat happy summer, trapping the dumber honey bees from the hive across the street.
I tried to water early this morning with the sprinkler, but it just pools up on top of the parched ground. Only a good, slow, steady rain will make a difference. Flower season is pretty much over, although we still have dahlias and the wonderful Autumn Sedum coming into its own. Also a big pot of Roma tomatoes some beautiful Anaheim peppers, earmarked for homemade chili rellenos. A once-a-year labor of love. It wouldn't be worth it, if they weren't so delicious.
