We had our first shower last night since I think the end of March. It was only about a 1/4 inch (.63 Cent.)at most. Almost everthing you see planted is on timed, drip irrigation.

You are welcome. You can come on a walk with me any time.

Sorry to hear you are so dry. That doesn't sound like the Land of Ten Thousand Lakes. On the brite side those hawk sized skeeters you guys get up there may not be as bad as they normally are!! They may only get humming bird sized!!

My favorite two hours of the day are the twilight hours. The winds calm down,the cool of the evening starts to move in, the harsh glare of the sun subsides and mellows, as the shadows disappear. The cooler colors of blue, pink and violet dim to muted tones as the yellows and whites
glow floresent!! Here are shots of a beautiful twilight evening.
Have a good night now. Wish you could join me for a glass of wine on the patio.
